How Did We Get Here and Where Are We Going? Notes from America with Kai Wright. I learned that American people are starting to become scared to live in America. Many thought President Obama was going to alleviate at least some of the racial concerns of the country while in his two terms he served, but according to some, he did not alleviate any racial concerns. These Americans were ready for Trump to take office instead as this podcast was first made in September 2016, before the election started that year to elect Trump. I do agree with Patty when she said that she does not like the word minority as everyone is an American, this was great that she added this opinion of hers into the first podcast. Patty becomes very emotional during this podcast regarding her own experiences throughout her life, including one of her son’s addiction to drugs. Second to speak on the podcast was Lenny. Due to her husband being an immigrant but living in Long Island, he one day got arrested for being accused of a fake driver’s license and later found out about his prior criminal history. Overall, what I learned from this podcast is that racial tensions are still very high today and we need to find a way to alleviate or at least reduce racial tension.
