Most people are preparing their response while someone else is still speaking. That is not a conversation — that is two monologues. The Art of Conversation Founding Members Cohort is going deeper this week. Visit TavisTalks.com

Brother Newsom could’ve taken a humanistic approach! He could’ve said, “I’m just like you. I was born of a woman. I’ll face loss, pain, and death just like anyone else.” But instead, when he thinks of Black people, he brings up low SAT scores. That mindset sits at the core of white supremacy—the belief that Black people are less beautiful, less moral, less intelligent! Don’t play with us like that @CAgovernor !! #TruthJusticeLove @tavissmiley @kbla1580
