23:32Now PlayingWhen it comes to race relations, 2020 has caught a lot of us offguard. When protests broke out in response to the killing of George Floyd, we saw diverse crowds out in the streets; and more and more white people began asking what they could do to uproot the racism that plagues America. These conversations on race are crucial. But as writer Damon Young points out, they can also be really strange. Damon Young is Black; and he’s a senior editor at The Root, founder of the blog Very Smart Brothas, and author of “What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Blacker.” He’s noticed an uncomfortable pattern more and more white people want to start conversations about race. He says there’s a time and a place to talk about things like police violence, lynching, and slavery, and it’s not while he’s taking a walk around his neighborhood, or standing in line for ice cream. On this episode of Into America, Trymaine Lee sits down with Young to talk about how he finds humor in these moments and how it shapes his work as a Black writer. Subscribe to NBC News
