Simba Kenyatta is a member of the Coalition for a County Wide Community Dialogue on Race, Poverty, Equality, and Justice, and a political and social activist with decades of work in Santa Cruz. We talked about the Coalition's Listening Sessions that are documenting the experience and reality of racism in the community. 43 Minutes & 42 Seconds, MP3 format.

We also discussed the origins of the Coalition and who's involved, the myth of "progressive" racial politics, the evolution of racism in recent years and decades, and the process through which people can testify, anonymously if preferred, at the remaining two hearings.

§grant for racism

Mr. Kenyatta You have a more than obvious dislike of anyone who is not of "color". You keep racism alive by making people be separate and different when assimilation of all would finally end racism. I hope you will use your grant to study how to do that, because your way keeps the hatred going. There is good and bad in every race and people are people!!!
