Description

"The idea of a colorblind society or what they call race neutral society ignores the whole history of this country." Michael Harriot welcomes educator and fellow podcast host at theGrio Black Podcast Network, Dr. Christina Greer to discuss "race neutral" admissions following The Supreme Court's decision to effectively outlaw affirmative action. The pair agree the concept of race neutrality is absurd and not realistic and claim that Asian Americans are being used as pawns by conservative Americans. They also discuss the importance of diverse classrooms and point out that eliminating policies meant to level the playing field is rooted in white supremacy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
