Remix: Brian Flores and Colman Domingo on Black America : The Limits with Jay Williams

This season on The Limits, host Jay Williams has spoken to some incredibly successful people. But no matter how famous they've become or how high they've risen on the corporate ladder, they always circle back to the role of race in their lives and their industries. In this final episode of our Remix series, Jay shares two conversations from The Limits Plus about being Black in America that have really stuck with him: with actor Colman Domingo and football coach Brian Flores, who sued the NFL for racial discrimination.

Brian Flores on suing the NFL for discrimination : The Limits with Jay Williams : NPR

Brian Flores is not messing around. The former Miami Dolphins head coach was fired last month, and had his eyes set on the top job with the New York Giants. But a misdirected text from New England Patriots general manager Bill Belichick convinced Flores, who is Black and Latino, that the hiring process was rigged against him, and that race was a major factor. He responded to the NFL by filing a class-action lawsuit on Tuesday. He was one of only three Black head coaches in the NFL at the time of his firing, in a league that has a majority of Black players. The lawsuit accuses the league of systemic racism and discriminatory hiring practices. It s made for a whirlwind 48 hours for Flores, who did not come to the decision to take legal action lightly. And it s arguably a louder stand than when Colin Kaepernick took his knee and paid the price. In this episode of The Limits, host Jay Williams sits down with Flores to talk about the change he hopes to inspire in the NFL, and the sacrifices

Gabrielle Union On Surrogacy, Marriage, Race In Hollywood : The Limits with Jay Williams : NPR

It took a long time for Gabrielle Union to realize she had the wrong idea of success in Hollywood. That idea came from growing up in Nebraska, in white spaces, where she often embraced a role as the Black friend. But in Hollywood she grew to reject those roles. Now her priorities are her own, and she s learned hard lessons about what to pay attention to and what to ignore. In this episode of The Limits, Union tells Jay Williams how she learned to stand up for herself, why balance is a myth, about her journey with surrogacy, and how she and her husband former NBA star Dwyane Wade overcame a turbulent time in their relationship. Union is an actor, activist, producer, and entrepreneur. She is the author of We re Going to Need More Wine: Stories That Are Funny, Complicated, and True and You Got Anything Stronger?
