Chapter 2: Why Does Racial Inequality Persist? With Glenn Loury
Chapter two: Why Does Racial Inequality Persist?
Glenn Loury argues that racism and slavery have had an impact on the state of Black Americans today, but it isn’t wholly to blame for all current problems. Furthermore, America is not a country that was founded on racist ideals, but rather a country that matured and eventually abolished slavery to live up to the ideal of equality under the law.

Thank you for your positivity, its in short supply in some circles. Without it, its far too easy to sow doubt and even hatred.
I joined the Navy in 1975. At Boot Camp, the driving concept was we were all one, regardless of color or race. We were "sailors."
The only source of individual dignity is doing something for somebody else. That makes you no longer interchangeable but a unique person by being called on. (Levinas: _Outside the Subject_ "The Rights of Man and the Rights of the Other"). What works for the dignity of an individual works for a race as well. Let blacks take up a collection for poor whites and see what happens to blacks' feeling of personal dignity.
Please run for President....you've got my vote. You are the intellectual voice that can unify the USA. How refreshing.
My congratulations on a unifying message for this country. Please translate this into words understandable for all Americans! Your vocabulary is beyond most of us.
The hard truth is that you can't believe both in Darwinism and that races evolving separately for 40,000 years are equal in all aspects. Everyone deserves respect and human dignity, but my brother and I have different abilities- he's stronger and a better leader, I'm smarter. How different are people NOT raised in the same home?
Puzzling proposition from a credentialed economist. Two separate facts - a) a badly damaged, culturally dysfunctional Black America, and b) a rapacious and systematically racist White America - can be true at the same time. Add two other separate facts; a) America is a nation of constitutionally protected individuals, and b) America is a nation of economic and culturally competing ethnic groups. Blacks did not achieve either a or b status until 1964/65. Start there.
