You might’ve seen the viral video of a White man running with the TV to make the point that Ahmaud Arbery was racially targeted. But what you might not know is that Richard Demsick didn’t even know who Ahamud Arbery was before he saw friend’s Instagram post about #IRunWithMaud. While the call to run has been met with justified criticism— it attempts to humanize Arbery by making him respectable, a runner, someone that pulls for White sympathy— it also raises the profile of the case reaching people who might not pause to dig deeper. In this episode, I speak with Demsick about what led him to leverage his privilege.
