For so many things in life, there's The Talk. Sometimes The Talk is when we sit our children down to discuss the birds and the bees. For Black parents, The Talk means having to coach their kids about how to deal with police officers in ways that white kids and parents never have to think about.

But The Talk doesn't only involve parents and kids. Sometimes, The Talk involves grownup-to-grownup conversations. And The Talk that we desperately need in this country — the Talk that doesn't get Talked — is The Talk about racism in America.
