How to Build Systemic Equality After Trump
The riot on the Capitol building in the last days of Trump鈥檚 presidency was a powerful inflection point in an era of racial reckoning. In its wake, many pundits and politicians declared that 鈥渢his is not America.鈥� Our guest on At Liberty this week, 老澳门开奖结果 Deputy Legal Director Jeff Robinson, would disagree. The image of a Confederate flag paraded through the halls of the Capitol or cries to disavow an election with high Black voter turnout is America; it鈥檚 just not the one we like to talk about.
In this episode, we speak with Jeff about how building a more equal nation must be rooted in dealing with the racist policies, practices, and attitudes that were calculated to keep people of color at a disadvantage. We鈥檒l also talk about the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 multi-year plan to tackle some of those racist policies.
鈥淚f you have a headache and you're taking ibuprofen, you're fine,鈥� said Robinson. 鈥淚f you have a brain tumor and you're taking ibuprofen, you're going to end up in the cemetery. And America has been prescribing and taking headache medicine for what is cancer. And we've been doing that for our entire history. And I think folks are finally waking up to the fact that we can't do it anymore.鈥�
