Dog-whistles are code words in politics: sometimes, you hear a phrase and it is supposed to sound unoffensive or straightforward, but does it really mean something else? There's a list of phrases, and you may agree or disagree that they are racial dog-whistles. The executive director of the Strong Economy for All Coalition was in Rochester to give a presentation on this subject. We talk to him about what the code words are, how they may demean someone of a different race or culture, and what we can to decode dog-whistles. Our guests: Michael Kink, executive director of the Strong Economy for All CoalitionCharles Khan, organizer and community advocate with the Strong Economy for All CoalitionRev. Marilyn Cunningham, Graves Memorial CME ChurchJon Greenbaum, organizer for Roc/ACTS
