Sally Kohn: What's a good upstanding black intellectual to do about the persistence of racial inequality? She asks, why don't we interrogate this framework that was part of what I was trying to point toward. Kohn: You can abrogate the contract, but you don't erase the dishonor for having abrogated the contract. And one would be a good black economist helping the situation of my people and also wanting to be a respected technical social scientist.
