Synopsis

Hosts Mary Mitchell and Leslie Baldacci explore why so few blacks play hockey with Sun-Times Digital Content Producer Evan Moore. Moore is the author of a recent Chicago Reader story titled "Icing Racism," which explores the history of racism in hockey and how that's changing. Brad Erickson, founder of Inner City Education, an ice hockey and academic tutoring program for disadvantaged youth, also joins the hosts. Then, Leslie and Mary address 50/50 Day, and Mary explains why she and other black women feel bitterness toward the predominantly white women's movement. The episode concludes with the definition of the word "WYPIPO", its use, and tone.
