Keith Boykin On Why Race Continues To Matter In American Society | The View

Be Color Kind, not Color Blind

We should talking about race until people stop being offended by it!

I have become convinced that once our Black brothers and sisters finally had their rights acknowledge and given equal status with White people, all other minorities would be given the same. Every time Black rights and lives are brought up, people begin speaking of the other minorities treated badly, which dilutes the unique bigotry that has been foisted on the descendants of Africa, by the descendants of Europe.

He is right no black person with Donald Trump resimay or rap sheet would ever be taken seriously as a candidate for President.

My brother was a high school teacher for over 20 years & when asked about whether he thinks affirmative action is fair he says " We had affirmative action for white people for 200 years and no one seemed to have a problem with it, the rest of us are just catching up now" 😂

I listened to the audiobook and it was so good I had to buy it! PLEASE READ THIS BOOK! only thing I don't like, which comes towards the end is the falsehood that anybody can be racist which is a miseducation of how racism has played out from 1607 to the 1964 passage of the civil rights act which then gave white men who were in charge, and still are mostly in charge in our government, the ability to write into law what racism is going forward. Racism is discriminating based on "race" (skin color) by means of legal authority or constitutional control, as Robin Diangelo explains perfectly in her book "White Fragility" in Chp 2 & 3. As Stokey Carmichael said many years ago "If a white man wants to lynch me that's his problem. If a white man has the power to lynch me thats MY problem. Racism is not a question of attitude, it is a question of power"

We should always consider race!!! Different races makes us beautiful & unique, the problem is the inequalities because of race, not the fact we have different races!

I've been recommending this book to all my white, Republican friends just to upset them. 😆

Interesting how they spoke with him vs how they spoke with Coleman Hughes on the same topic......

This book has constantly been recommended to me on Audible for months. After hearing him speak I am gonna finally listen to it

George Santos anyone? BTW Trevor later said to Tomi "If you don't see color, you don't know how you are treating it." #applause

I wonder why they haven't had Roland S Martin on as a guest, his book is on topic with this as well.

It is a little perplexing why people get so defensive and agitated when discussing race

This country is insane, how is the yeti a presidential candidate, this makes no sense.

I liked how Sunny acknowledged Keith when he quoted Dr.King about color blindness because she agreed and Dr King is her fraternity brother He's a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Inc. founded at Cornell University and She's a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Inc. founded at Howard University Washington, DC.

The world is DIVERSE , celebrate our diversity ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Don't start because it's easy. Start because it's worth trying. Don't stop because it's hard. Stop because you've tried your best.

Everything is about race if you lived long enough, you will know that. 😮

Well just last week i was falsely accused of trying to shop lifting because they caim they didnt see me pay for my groceries luckily i had my recept

Loved this authentic interview. Keith Boykins is a brilliant political scholar. I'm looking forward to reading his book.
