Symbolic Racism and the Great Political Divide

Feb 20, 2018

Today we chat with Aaron Pomerantz, a bright young social psychology  graduate student at Oklahoma University. He wrote a very good article  discussing the idealogical language divide in our current political climate and the origins of "symbolic racism". It's all too common today that when one disagrees with a policy, they immediately use the ubiquitous "R" word. That is a shortcut to intellect and we chat all about it.  Aaron's articles are found at  and are linked to below.  Follow me in Twitter @buckrebel "Like" us on Facebook at
