    Sharing an episode from Scene on Radio's acclaimed Season 2 series, Seeing White, by John Biewen and featuring Empire City host and creator, Chenjerai Kumanyika. For centuries, white supremacist U.S. culture has raised the specter of the dangerous Black man. Biewen tells the story of a confrontation with a Black teenager, then he and Kumanyika discuss that well-worn narrative and its neglected flip-side: the harrowing history of white-on-Black violence.

  • Stay Dangerous | 8
    The NYPD loves to show off its diversity, but it often hides how hard and long it fought that diversity. Chenjerai takes us back in time to the real story of how the NYPD got its first Black cop – and how decades later, Black cops went to war with the NYPD’s union to push for civilian oversight of the police. But how effective is reform if the police are still only accountable to themselves?

  • The American Problem | 7
    New York’s police start to realize that beating up and arresting immigrants is making them distrustful of cops. In response, a police chief has an idea, borne out of his time colonizing the Philippines: control the population by recruiting local community members to police their own people.
