Navigating Family Politics: A Conversation with Uncle Curtis

Navigating Family Politics: A Conversation with Uncle Curtis

What happens when two people who love each other disagree about almost everything politically? Meet my Uncle Curtis. Uncle Curtis and I can have some robust political conversations. We challenge each other. We disagree. Sometimes we REALLY disagree. And yet somehow the conversation still ends the same way: “Love you, Uncle.” “Love you, Kathy.” And then we move on with our lives. In this conversation, I bring Uncle Curtis onto the show to demonstrate something I think we've lost in America: the ability to disagree without destroying the relationship. We start with one issue where I thought I might have finally found some common ground—the controversy surrounding former NBA first-round draft picks Enes Freedom and Royce White and the WNBA—and from there, the conversation goes exactly where you might expect when Uncle Curtis and I get talking. Different politics. Different perspectives. Same family. Maybe America could use a little more of that.
