Discussion on the TEDTalk by Emmanuel Acho, a former NFL linebacker, who started an online series “Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man” as an educational tool.  In this episode Emmanuel sits down with Aaron & Jamie Ivey and their kids, to have an uncomfortable conversation about the struggles, differences and what they have learned in raising black, white and mixed children.  Emmanuel asks the Ivey’s if they fear for their black children’s lives and if the kids would rather have black parents raising them.
