The True Philadelphia Podcast with Matt O'Donnell
     show

Summary: Asa Khalif, who now heads Coalition for Black Lives, talks about how his aggressive and sometimes profane behavior has caused him to get arrested (several times) and created discomfort even amongst other Black Lives Matter supporters. You will recognize Khalif for his protests after the controversial arrests at a Center City Starbucks. He also discusses being raised by a white father, how racism persists in an American society that obsesses over black culture, whether he is anti-police and if black-on-black crime is a more important issue than police aggression.
