Bringing An End To Race Politics - Coleman Hughes - #763

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello, friends, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Coleman Hughes. He's a writer, an author and a podcaster. The state of race relations in America seemed to be improving for decades, then crash and burned over the last five years. What's going on? Why is everyone obsessed with race again? And how can we move beyond race politics? Expect to learn why anti-racism is just neo-racism, the difference between being colorblind and actually being racist, why your social class is more important than your ethnicity, whether me too hurt women more than helping them, if there is a realistic case for DEI, whether any race-based policies have ever worked, and much more. Coleman is a legend. I love the way that he communicates. He is incredibly thoughtful, and he also happens to be a phenomenal rapper and jazz musician. So just a full stack competent human. In other news, you might have been hearing me talk about some big projects that we have done recently. Last week, I did the most expensive, most complex shoot that we have ever done with four guests, and you will get to find out about that next week. It's very exciting. This is breaking new ground, I think, actually for podcasting overall. I think this is a world first that's ever been done. And I haven't seen the edits at all.
It may look totally kind of crap and not be very fun, but it was something new and very different and pretty exciting. And I hope that you love it, and I will be telling you more next week. So get excited and join me. Join me in the anticipation. Trust really is everything when it comes to supplements. A lot of brands may say that they're top quality, but very few can actually prove it, which is why I partnered with Momentus. They make the highest quality supplements on the planet. They're literally unparalleled when it comes to rigorous third-party testing, and what you read on the label is what's in the product and absolutely nothing else. Dr. Andrew Huberman is actually the scientific advisor for Momentus, so if you've ever wondered what supplements he would create or what he really uses himself, this is the answer. Their sleep packs are one of my favorite products which I use every single night before bed. They contain only the most evidence-based ingredients at perfect doses to help you fall asleep more quickly, stay asleep throughout the night, and wake up feeling more rested and revitalized in the morning.
