Dating and Racial Politics w Dr. Ray Winbush

Dr. Ray Winbush, ‎Director of the Institute for Urban Research at Morgan State University will join us to discuss interracial dating, reparations, and white rage. he pushes for racial equality in the United States got a boost from the demands placed on all facets of society during the Second World War.

Furthermore, the ideals of freedom and equality, which were the backbone of the Allied war cry and the foundation for the anti-communist Western movement, did not sit well alongside Jim Crow laws and public acts of racial discrimination.  The Jim Crow system of segregation was a process in which white Southerners legitimized their racial supremacy over their black counterparts. It was a system based on ethnic and racial differentiation. It is important to note that such a system enabled the “definition of racism as an institutional fact”
