I have always looked askance at the assertion that systemic racism is a major favor obstructing black progress in the 21st century. Moreover I’ve never really heard anyone explain to me what it is clearly. That is, until Glenn circa 2000 just laid it out in the clearest possible manner. That was an absolutely brilliant breakdown of the social structures that result in a smorgasbord of inferior outcomes and how they are based on a system constructed and refined at a time when anti-black racism was not only prevalent but the de facto way of behavior.
But then again, I don’t see so much discord between Glenn 2000 and Glenn 2020. As with so many “debates” in this country, the argument isn’t about WHAT’s wrong but rather about HOW we should try to fix it.
Thanks again and as always for these podcasts. Ancora Imparo.
