Part 1:
We talk with Betsy Leondar Wright, Sociologist, researcher and social justice activist.
We discuss with the perceptions of Americans about the concept of racism and sexism. Leondar Wright's book "Is It Racism? Is It Sexism/" discusses the survey that was held, and she discusses the results of the survey, and the implications for our society.
Part 2:
We talk with Jonathan Feingold, Professor of Law at Boston University about race, as part of the Race Class.
#RaceClass Ep. 38 | Why are all the universities folding to Trump?
In this episode, Arnie and Jon explore why so many universities have voluntarily scrubbed websites and shuttered still lawful and mission critical diversity, equity and inclusion programs. We discuss why President Trump's anti-DEI measures are themselves legally suspect--in part because Trump's war on DEI rests on and reinforces the bankrupt notion that women and people of color are presumptively incompetent.
