Independent journalist Terrell Jermaine Starr discusses expanding the definition of race and how racism informs politics both in the U.S. and abroad. He explores the relatively brief period of American history dedicated to "getting things right," explains why he dislikes comparisons between the modern U.S. and Nazi Germany, and shares his experience being embedded with Ukraine's territorial defense forces during the Russian invasion.

Additionally, Terrell breaks down the Russian word for "Black," reveals what he would ask Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview, and offers a unique perspective on "woke culture."
