Former NFL linebacker Emmanuel Acho on having difficult conversations about race in new series.
"Welcome to the first of hopefully many episodes of 'Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man,'" said Acho in his first video, which premiered last week.
Joining Acho for a conversation in the most recent episode was A-lister Matthew McConaughey. The pair talked about the uncomfortable issues of racial injustice. "I'm here ... to learn, share, listen, understand. Here to discuss some common ground between us, but also exposed the differences between us," McConaughey said."I'm here to have conversation, hopefully promote more conversations, and, with the end goal being that we take the time we're in now [to] constructively turn a page in history through some righteous and justifiable change.
Emmanuel Acho is tackling tough conversations about race in America in his new YouTube series, "Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man."
