Linda Ju, a San Francisco native, never questioned her identity as an American—until recently. 😔 In a raw 'The Race Gap' episode, she describes feeling increasingly alienated amid rising racial tensions. \"It’s like watching a storm gather,\" she says, \"where politics weaponize division instead of healing it.\"
The documentary exposes how inflammatory rhetoric from U.S. politicians perpetuates systemic barriers for communities of color. From unequal access to education 🎓 to biased housing policies 🏡, the episode argues racism is \"baked into institutions, not just individual acts.\"
Experts featured liken the cycle to a broken record: \"Every generation fights the same battles because the root causes aren’t addressed,\" notes sociologist Dr. Amir Johnson. 🔄 The timing feels urgent, with hate crimes up 11% nationally last year.
Could 2024 elections shift the narrative? 🌟 Linda hopes so: \"We need leaders who see diversity as a superpower, not a threat.\"
