If the lower/working class band together to support someone like Bernie or Andrew Yang, the poorest demographics benefit the most. And that is something the entire lower class can band together on. Not some non-sense of whites who never owned slaves paying people that were never slaves. Again, African American's are disproportionately poor for egregious historical reasons, and so policies that help with poor in general benefit them disproportionately (which is great!) while also helping other lower class demographics.

He doesn't want to go into politics, he dislikes politics. He's an intellectual scholar and an honest man -- similar people (intelligent and honest) have tried politics but don't usually do well. Look at Andrew Yang, definitely my candidate, but his honest and rational use of facts didn't have the mass appeal of sound bites and emotionality ("boo-hoo billionaires") -- no matter how appealing he was to a contingent of many intelligent and concerned people. If Coleman doesn't want to do politics we should be thankful for his work as an intellectual and hope he continues to get a platform as a thinker.

Gen X metalhead D&D nerd here. Am amazed at the level of maturity and assreness of this young man. Light years ahead of where I was at that age. We had racism on the ropes, but it will never end. In-group preference and all of that human type stuff. We grew up right after the Civil rights movement. Our teachers taught us. So we laughed at racist jokes about others and ourselves but regarded racist people as fools stuck in the horrible past we were lucky to be born after. In the 90s if you were against racism it just meant you were a regular person. The person making the hard-core racist jokes usually got the hint nobody was laughing with him. Occasionally he got knocked out. Go look up Anthrax and Public Enemy onstage together. Too much togetherness isn't good for those at the top sticking it to us. So, Division became the game once again. Politicians been playing that game since forever but it takes you growing up and seeing enough of it. It's why when we are young all of our energy is quite useful to the manipulative mfers. In the 80s I saw the TV lie about Dungeons and Dragons, telling my parents it would make me a devil-worshipper. And then the TV and government told my parents Judas Priest and Ozzy put subliminal messages in their songs to make me commit suicide. Look up Gelman Amnesia. Don't let the TV, tablet, phone, or Teachers make you hate your neighbor. Keep thinking and keep talking to one another, people!

John Stewart Mills: "Those who know only their side of the issue know little of that." Such might be the case for the skewed bias of the second questioner, still residing in a cloud of pseudo-intellectual hubris. Oftentimes, one can deduce the questioners underlying ideology by the framing of their question, in attempt to catch the other in a "gotcha" moment. All are still young, appropriately curious, idealistic, wishing and hoping H. Sapiens genome is truly egalitarian. This is what non-STEM, social science Social Justice professors profess to eager malleable minds, then not knowing how to handle data showing biology is unfair. Sadder still is to ignore or discount data that does not suit long-term neo-Marxist, globalist, hate-speech censoring, projecting, rationalizing, any means necessary, indoctrination through tyrannical methods, while disarming and silencing open dissent, considered to be blasphemous. That's all. I'm seventy and still go by the old adage of "Sticks and stones." Even Z gen must still know that one, yet many scoff at the idea, pleading "My feelings are hurt and count greater than facts!" Next to go will be the assumption of innocence. Good luck to all and my progeny.

I tend to frame it as antiracism vs. liberalism, since reading the intro of "Critical Race Theory" where the espousers of that viewpoint make clear that they regard liberalism as a failure, and set out to reject it. Many supporters of antiracist and CRT views regard themselves as liberals, so I hope it provokes reflection. The past doesn't exist - only its effects. Attempts to "fix" that which is immutable are doomed to failure and heartache. Present problems can always be addressed purely by reference to and action within the present, which constitutes all that is. Correlation does not imply causation. Repeat as a mantra until it sinks in. Great talk.

As a court stenographer myself, I’m interested in the study about inaccuracies of transcripts. In my experience, blacks are not really that difficult to understand in court. The notoriously difficult witnesses to transcribe are people with thick foreign accents, especially Indian. Where I have trouble with blacks are when they are from the Deep South. But it’s the same thing with whites or anyone fro the Deep South. I’m also interested in how the study was done. How do they verify an error? The certified transcript is the official court record. I guess you could record it, and compare to the transcript, but that’s difficult. I would venture to say that most seasoned reporters, even if they committed errors, it would be so rare that it would take countless hours pouring over audio and transcripts to find it. I’m skeptical of the methodology of the studies. Also asked several of my colleagues about this and they said the same thing, that blacks, by and large, are not very difficult to understand and follow

In a required diversity class I went to at University, a phrase “to treat people equally you sometimes have to treat people differently” hung on the wall. I think the tension within this phrase gets to the crux of this discussion. I have wrestled with it extensively.

"Everyone is equal, but some people are more equal than others." -George Orwell, Animal Farm. The greatest tragedy of that book was that they presented it to a bunch of high school kids (including me) who were too immature to fully understand the metaphor....although from your anecdote, it seems that some university professors missed the message as well.

Diversity classes are a waste of your time and brain cells. It’s an attempt to brainwash you with a Cultural Marxist ideology. No white person should ever attend anything related to diversity training. It’s just a room full of people trying to justify why they hate you for being white.

Love what he said about trying to save the left from its excesses. I have been saying the same thing for years, whenever someone asked why I was calling out someone on my side of the aisle. I point to the how the extremists on the right took over because the mainstream refused to defend itself from the extremists, or were too afraid to lose an election to do so, and the extremists ended up taking over (or mainstream politicians moved further right to compensate). I refuse to let the same thing happen to the left, which often involves me calling out woke nonsense, and standing up for true liberal and progressive ideas (not modern perversions of them). It's funny though, that those on the right call me (at best) snowflake, and those of the left (at best) call me alt-right, whenever I choose to call someone on their side out. In reality, I would mostly be what he describes as humanist, or what I call a "90's progressive"... in other words, I support what the progressive movement stood for 20 years ago, not the monstrosity it has become. For instance, should gay people be allowed to marry and adopt kids? Of course. Should using a slur against gay people be a hate crime? Of course not; freedom of speech. There are numerous other examples, but yeah, I feel him on the trying to save my party from the small number of ridiculous and overly-vocal extremists trying to take it over. The woke/antiracist movement is our version of the Tea Party (or maybe Qanon), and unless we want to end up with our version of Trump, we need to fight for the party's principles, both against the right, but also against the extreme left.

A lot of the commenters below are a bit mystified by Hughes' example of systemic racism--the stenographers. I think I can explain. He is trying to give an example of "pure" systemic racism, in which no individual is even remotely racist, but that the system nonetheless impacts one group in an unfair way. So the stenographers, whether black or white, and with no animus on their part, simply through their lack of skill, misrepresent the defense of some of the black defendants. I would point out that, once this problem is detected, it could be addressed--the stenographers could be trained in the dialects they may typically encounter in their work. Anyway, that's my effort at explaining his use of that example.

This gets to the very HEART no one wants to address of all that is wrong with the usa today!!! There's no humanism behind addressing racism anymore. The current situation is just regressing back into this repetitive cycle of toxic tribalism that I feel has been imprinted in American culture from the start. The belief in "born enemies", "born hatred", tribal territory, segregation and eugenics. The USA has been VERY tribal, nationalist, and identiarian from the beginning. When foreigners (of any ethnicity) come into America from places that view "race" as an adjective, and believe people can love whomever they want and identify with any culture they want, Americans who treat race like the core identity of your being take great offense, as they expect everyone to fall in step with this culture of tribal warfare: both in America and everywhere else. Americans need to accept humanism and empathy, pure and simple!!! Accept individualism also!!! The individual is not their tribe, nor the property of their tribe!!!

I love this talk so much I am listening to it for a third time. I also think it is the basis of Coleman's forthcoming book. I want to niggle a particular point about the court stenographer thing. Studies have shown that people of different ethnic backgrounds in fact do have difficulty distinguishing facial differences between people of other ethnic backgrounds. It's not a racist thing it's a human psychology thing. A brain thing. A visual perception thing. So the same seems to follow about following the meaning of different dialects or accents. Am I mistaken on this thought?

When I refer to this perspective I always use quotations, “anti-racist” because the perspective isn’t really anti-racist and the goal doesn’t seem to be to reduce or get rid of racism... Even if that was the original intent of these ideas, and some of the people following along, they aren’t going to lead to less racism. This ideology inevitably leads to creating conflict out of simple misunderstandings and alienating potential allies. This ideology isn’t changing hearts and minds because in practice, the movement is against dialogue with white people. You aren’t allowed to have a back and forth with white people. Communication for this movement is authoritarian. And the way to have more authority is to be more oppressed. The communication style is hypocritical and ineffective as far as reducing racism. To reduce racism people need to connect, be civil and engage in respectful dialogue with one another. Instead of dialogue, the movement is all about virtue signaling by vilifying other people. So, this has degraded into the ole “us and them” game which also happens to be the root of our terrible racist past. I used to be very sympathetic to radical activism, SJW types and hardcore “anti-racists” because I believed they were working towards a goal I could support (I despise racism). But after trying to be an ally, attempting to be supportive and even giving loads of money to activists over time I got to peak in to that world and it was full of manipulative toxic people in the leadership. Even if you do everything they ask you to support be supportive, they will still be nasty to you. In fact the more involved I got the more they attempted to have abusive power over me. The perspectives of “anti-racism” are designed to build social power, that’s why they set double standards... And that power isn’t good for anyone. It’s not good for the minds of the people wielding it and they tend to become more and more obsessed until everything is about race or whiteness or colonizers, etc. It just brews and brews on itself becoming more intense and toxic and it builds up anger and resentment... But there isn’t any specific area for all that negative energy to go, so it just goes to anyone who is around who fits the mold of the bad guy. This is why they are constantly calling people racist when evidence is to the contrary. Or they call people who disagree with them racist or nazis or alt right. The ideology needs to have villains and the adherents to the ideology need to feel offended or oppressed in order to feed into it, so they are seeking that out. I think this ideology is leading young people to a dead end or even to harming their development. They need to be learning about the real world so they can function and be successful. They need to learn how to have dialogue with other people who have different views. So I am %100 anti racist but I’m not part of this “anti-racist” group.

Very well said. This really echoes my own experience. I’m a far left leaning liberal in nearly every sense of that term and yet within the “anti-racism”/SJW world I’m just a cis het white supremacist monster! This faction is starting to lose potential allies in droves as people reach their limits of abuse. It’s incredibly frustrating when you care so much about something and have nowhere to turn. The culture is among the craziest of our times and largely exists online, though of course it exists in the ‘real world’ as well.

I can't imagine not being able to see, notice, and even react to skin color different than my own. I think it depends on how you do it. It depends a lot. Because if I claim ignorance of or blindness to a color different than my own, that in itself can diminish or negate that person. Intelligent people can acknowledge each others' differences in ten thousand subtle ways. Again, depending on how you do it, that can be a beautiful thing. Understanding that we are of course, NOT the same, why is it not permissable to also understand the differences? Which is a damned difficult thing to do if you can't admit that they exist. Especially when different does not mean better or worse - just different. I still notice, for example, how children, while being obsessed with wanting to be exactly like everyone else - can still be fascinated by difference, with no bias whatsoever, if they have not learned to be biased. In many ways we can hear or see evidence of the character of a person that we can admire or relate positively to. An inner strength, or truth, or beauty, or style, or whatever it is. That still doesn't mean that regardless of whatever it is we "divine" with our own inner cognizance, we are not still prone to some guidance from the mere play of our basic senses. Which is how and why the mere sight and sound of someone can have such a powerful effect. Maybe this is just a longwinded kind of way of pointing out that colorblind - is still, in some form and fashion....blind.

Your statement is somewhat paradoxical. How would you know someone's color is different than yours, if you couldn't see it? Doesn't you noticing that it's different require being able to see it?
