we have a massive racial wealth gap so to me it is a fantasy that we have race neutrality, other than affirmative action. just like it was a fantasy a century ago that the schools were separate but equal. >> so you write that we need a new legal movement to expose race neutrality as a fantasy. what is the new legal movement? >> well, i think it starts with your previous guest, he was actually demonstrating that legacy is actually not a quote, race neutral. that it actually gives preferences to white students. we start to look at something at our admissions factors that are their which demonstrates they are leading to racial inequities. and disparities. and i think that's what we have to show. we have to demonstrate the outcome of these policies and be less focused on whether they have racial language or even the intent of the policy maker. cy maker >> you talk about the outcome

discussed. according to the post, while doug ducey was certifying the results of the election arizona for joe biden, trump was calling to ask him not to do it. quote, in a phone call in late 2020, president donald trump tried to pressure arizona governor doug ducey to overturn the state's presidential election results, saying that if enough fraudulent votes could be found, it would overcome trump's narrow loss in arizona, according to three people familiar with the call. we know that special counsel jack smith is investigating donald trump's similar attempt to pressure georgia's secretary of state officials to overturn the election. but according to that washington post, it is unclear if doug ducey has been contacted yet by the special counsel's office. even his front page news, i would imagine that calling governor ducey would be added to jack smith's to do list, if he hasn't already done so. now, jack smith is under an extraordinary amount of scrutiny, as he continues to lead criminal investigations into donald trump, who as we

is color blind and neither tolerates glasses among citizens. and in part for that reason, the court find affirmative action in violation of the 14th amendment equal protection. 14t amendment equal protection but that roberts majority opinion happened to skip this part of harlan's 1896 dissent right before the color-blind constitution. harlan, writes quote, the white race deems itself to be the dominant race in this country. and so it is in prestige and achievements and education and wealth and in power. so i doubt not that it will continue to be for all-time if it remains true to its great heritage and holds fast to the principles of constitutional liberty. a color blind constitution on one hand, and a quote, dominant race on the other -- two diametrically opposed concepts on the same page. so this contradiction was actually laid bare in a new piece, coauthored by ibram x. kendi, author of how to raise an anti-racist. and founder of boston

supreme court's decision striking down university affirmative action programs. last week's decision bans race conscious decision-making in college admissions. but in their opinions, a couple of the justices brought up a different form of preferential treatment at elite american universities, giving extra weight to applications from children of alumni and donors, so called legacy admissions. in her dissent, justice sanya sotomayor noted legacy applicants are predominantly white, and although they make up less than 5% of applicants of harvard, they constitute around 30% of the applicants admitted each year sotomayor called these legacies part of a, quote, admissions puzzle where most of the pieces disfavor underrepresented racial minorities. even conservative justice neil gorsuch who joined with the majority expressed discomfort with the legacies system of harvard preferences for the children of donors and alumni. he wrote, quote, while race neutral on their face, these preferences undoubtedly

adjacent to the political party apparatus. operatingand now, he decided tt involved. that's a power shift, and it's getting the attention of leaders in the community who also serves. here is what michael jr., a pastor at a baptist church in harlem told the new york times, that salaam's nearest competitor. he said, quote, endorsed by the institutions, the names, it didn't help. it is definitely a signal that in harlem, at least right now, the politics is a little bit more open than it may have been ten or 15 years ago. well joining us now is yusef salaam, the candidate for new york city's ninth district seat. he is also, as i said, one of the exonerated five. it is good to see you, sir. thank you for making some time this evening for us. let's start with talking about this election in this primary, because you want twice as many votes as your closest competitor, inez dickens, who formerly held that seat for at

university center for anti racist research. dr. kendi writes quote, the color blind often see either color or superior, as harlan did. the peoples production costs in the constitution figured by legal fantasy yet again, to protect racial inequity. history repeats sometimes without rhyming. race neutral is the new separate but equal. then, the fantasy was that separate facilities for education appointed to the race this were equal and that actions to desegregates them were unnecessary if not harmful. today the fantasy is that regular college admission metrics are race neutral in that affirmative action is not necessary, in fact harmful. now racial neutrality is a doctrine of the land as separate but equal was a century ago. we need a new legal movement to expose its fantastical nature. joining us now is dr. ibram x. kendi, professor and founding director of the central center for interest researcher boston university.

dr. kendi, thank you so much for being here. i appreciate writing that piece because i've been trying to make this case to my team over the weekend and they were like i don't know. will somebody go right? and you definitely did. black and latino students are still underrepresented in many of our country's most selected public universities. but the supreme court believes that we are ready for a race neutral or even a color blind approaches to emissions. which excludes affirmative action. you called this legal fantasy in the atlantic. why is it a legal fantasy? >> i think it is best to contextualize it how it was a century ago in which you have those litigants who were trying to desegregate schools, who were going up to the supreme court hearing that supreme court was telling them that these schools were separate but equal.
