Episode notes

Slavery is a class issue. It's about where you live, where you grow up and did you come from an intact family? Did you get the right food and nutrition when you were a kid? These things will determine your outcomes in life far more than skin colour. So it's not about ethnicity or race, necessarily. A lot of this is about class. And those things are best addressed without looking at people's skin color,. by looking at their actual circumstances and helping them. If you want to help people, find people who've got a bad situation that they're surrounded by criminal acquaintances - these can be helped if we remove any races policies off the books

Shermer and Kisin discuss: growing up in Russia • “The Talk” Russian parents give their children • What is the “West” and how do Russians view it • Should Whites feel some guilt for slavery, racism, misogyny, bigotry, etc.? • systemic racism: criminal justice, housing, employment, income, wealth • Critical Race Theory (CRT) • immigration • free, private, and public speech • how language is used to distort truth • the origin of “political correctness” • journalism vs. activism • capitalism • and how the West could be lost.
