Kamau Bell and Lizz Winstead; Tanner Colby, author of Some of My Best Friends Are Black; and poet Carlos Andrés Gómez, discusses interracial friendships, how people connect across the colorline, and what not to ask your black friend: "If you ask the hair question, you're not my friend," says comedian W. Kamau Bell.
