With recent violent events taking place across the country including the massacre at the Charleston, South Carolina church, police brutality, racial profiling and shootings, SiriusXM host Karen Hunter will discuss -- among other timely topics -- white privilege, what it means to "be white," racism in America's police systems and, why blacks and whites see the exact same event -- the Mike Brown shooting in Ferguson; The Waco, Texas biker shooting; and the McKinney pool party melee -- so differently?

SiriusXM Urban View features conversation, information, inspiration, empowerment, motivation and companionship from the African-American perspective.
