    Ep. 65 | Why Fascists Fear Black Studies

    "Everyone committed to democracy, intellectual freedom, and the rule of law should be alarmed at what is happening--and be prepared to act." That call came from Professor Jafari Sinclaire Allen in a recent piece for The Nation that catalogued MAGA's ever-escalating assault on Black studies. Jon and Arnie use the piece as a jumping off point to discuss why home-grown authoritarians from Florida to Texas to Tennessee are leading the charge to purge Black studies and gender studies from our universities. The answer is simple: those who prefer domination over democracy fear an educated public that understands the source of their precarity and the path to freedom and liberation.

    Ep. 64 | David Oppenheimer Talks Diversity, Pauli Murray & the Fight Against American Apartheid

    Justice Clarence Thomas doesn't know what "diversity" means. UC Berkeley Law Professor David Oppenheimer does. David joined the #RaceClass Podcast to discuss his new book "The Diversity Principle." The book traces the diversity principle's long and circuitous (and often overlooked) history -- one that weaves through John and Harriet Mill, the legendary Pauli Murray, and fights for academic freedom in the United States and against Apartheid in South Africa.

    Ep. 63 | Carliss Chatman on White Economic Comfort & the Myth of Free Markets

    SMU Law Professor Carliss Chatman joined the #RaceClass podcast to discuss DEI "rollbacks" and the rise of "reverse racism" lawsuits from private actors and the Trump administration. We do a deep dive into Section 1981 and the myth of "free markets" -- with a specific nod to "white economic comfort," a term Professor Chatman coined to capture a powerful dyanmic that continues to drive who can enter and benefit from capitalist systems free from racial discrimination and exclusion.

    Ep. 62 | What Would David Duke Do?

    Jon and Arnie discuss the Justice Department's decision to indict the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) on fraud charges related to its use of informants to infiltrate extremist hate groups. The indictment turns the DOJ upside down; rather than prosecute the Klan, the DOJ is targeting organizations that help combat the Klan. It might sound absurd, but it is a predictable consequence of a federal government allied with many of the extremist organizations — including PragerU, Moms for Liberty, and Turning Point USA — that the SPLC has dutifully monitored for years.

    Ep. 61 | Jon Talks Affirmative Action with the Radio Cachimbona Podcast

    In this special cross-posted episode, Jon joins Yvette Borja and the Radio Cachimbona podcast to discuss affirmative action. We spend much of the episode outlining the many many (did we say many?) ways that institutions may continue to intentionally build racially equitable, diverse and inclusion institutions -- all consistent with federal antidiscrimination law. Lots of the conversation draws on Jon's 2024 article "Affirmative Action After SFFA": https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4645538.

    Ep. 60 | The Fight for Environmental Justice with Chandra Taylor-Sawyer

    Chandra Taylor-Sawyer joined the #RaceClass Podcast to discuss the fight for environmental justice. Chandra is a Senior Attorney at the Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC) and leads its Environmental Justice Initiative. For nearly two decades, she has worked to confront the disproportionate burden of pollution borne by communities of color and low-wealth neighborhoods across the South. We explored how SELC builds power to support local communities and dug into a recent SELC report that "connects slavery-era land exploitation to today's environmental racism, revealing how Black communities continue to bear the cost of pollution."

    Ep. 59. | You Can't Combat Racism If You Don't Name Racism

    Jon and Arnie discuss the many segregationist and white supremacist dimensions of the Trump administration’s war on multiracial democracy. To map the assault on equality and democracy, we engage a recent report from the African American Policy Forum titled: “Antiblackness is the Point: Racism, Misogyny, and Donald Trump’s Assault on Equal Opportunity.” The AAPF report connects today’s racial fascism to 19th “Redeemers” who employed “a combination of racist rhetoric, policy and historical narratives meant to rationalize” white male domination and undo the gains of post-Civil War Reconstruction. We also touch upon Toni Morrision’s 1995 essay “Racism and Fascism,” which offers a useful framework for understanding the tactics the Trump regime is employing to dehumanize and brutalize so many communities in the United States. The conversation leads to a pressing question: Why do so many of today’s democracy defenders fail to name Trump’s overt racism when challenging Trump’s policies? If we don’t name racism, how can we hope to combat it?

    Ep. 58 | The Myth of Institutional Neutrality with Brian Soucek

    UC Davis Law Professor Brian Soucek joined the #RaceClass Podcast to discuss his new book: "The Opinionated University: Academic Freedom, Diversity, and the Myth of Neutrality in American Higher Education." Brian is one of the most thoughtful folks out there when it comes to grappling with - and injecting quite a bit of sense into - the most contentious and ongoing debates about academic freedom, free speech and equality on university campuses. His book is an incredible read and highlights what so many so-called "free speech" organizations like FIRE and Heterodox Academy get wrong about the relationship between academic freedom and free speech on campus and in the classroom.
