In 4 minutes Bethaney Ocansey takes a hammer and nails the spectre of racism in the US down to the floor and gives it a personal, engaging, and thorough examination from the perspective of a young woman who was raised outside of America, and whose parent are of different backgrounds: African and British, black and white. This piece is especially effective be cause presumptive listeners with untrained ears, listening to a clear british accent may assume that Ocansey is white.

Her view on racism's subtlties is spot on, and this commentary could be featured as a drop in to Morning Edition or ATC.

I look foward to more observations from Ocansey, a sorely need voice in a time of uncertainty.
