Episode Synopsis
Stats about racism
In the U.S., as of 2019, 65% of those surveyed in a Pew Research study believe it's more acceptable to express racist or racially insensitive views
59% of white republicans and republican leaning people believe that slavery has had not much or no effect on black people in society today
And 77% of white republican and republican leaning people believe the biggest problem with racism is seeing racism where it does not exist
The Sum of Us by Heather McGhee
In The Sum of Us, Heather McGhee explores the history of racism in America and offers solutions for building an inclusive society. McGhee begins by recounting how America was founded on principles of racial inequality, which have been perpetuated through policies and cultural norms. She argues that racism has always been used to divide and conquer the American people, and that it benefits no one in the long run.
