Addicted to Race 117: Healthcare, Van Jones, Swinging, Tyra’s Real Hair
by Carmen Van Kerckhove

Addicted to Race is New Demographic’s podcast about America’s obsession with race. Here’s a rundown of what you’ll find in this episode:
Did Obama’s speech on healthcare make a difference? Did racism play a role in the pressure for Van Jones to resign? A web site attempts to diversify the world of swinging, but ends up being a big #diversityfail. Tyra showed us her real hair – has she singlehandedly resolved the politics of black women and hair? Tami Winfrey Harris and Andrea Plaid discuss.
Addicted to Race is broadcast live every Sunday afternoon at 12 pm Eastern. You can listen live on our BlogTalkRadio page and call in by dialing 347-996-3958.
