Adolph Reed, a political science scholar, and Walter Benn Michaels, an English professor known for critiquing liberalism, dive into complex discussions on racial and economic disparities. They challenge the oversimplified focus on racial issues, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to social justice. Reed critiques the narrative around co-optation in movements like Black Lives Matter, while Michaels argues for collective interests over racial identity. The conversation also touches on nuclear energy as a path to equitable labor practices in the transition to clean energy.
