Imani Perry and the Narrative of Bloodlust Against Black Children
Author Imani Perry's book "Breathe" is discussed, specifically her claim that there is a "bloodlust" in America seeking to slaughter black children. The hosts link this rhetoric to Barack Obama's famous statement that if he had a son, he would look like Trayvon Martin, arguing that such narratives traumatize children by making them feel constantly hunted.
