Mr Rothstein has researched the history of segregation with regards to housing and education. Theres many layers to this conversation, just as there to his book. The two discuss how segregated most major cities in the United States are right now and how “de-facto segregation” isn’t real and has been used as way to explain away laws and policies that have been in effect for a hundred years. The two also discuss the Reconstruction Era and how the effect of racial charged police polices shutdown that era and set in motion what we still see today. The Color of Law is a phenomenal book

Richard Rothstein - Color Of Law

Six days ago Colin Kaepernick's attorney's announced that Kaepernick and Eric Reid had reached an agreement with the NFL to dismiss their grievance and lawsuit that claims collusion amongst the owners and league personal to keep the two from being employed by a team. As part of the agreement, no details will be given on what the actual settlement is. Thats let supporters on each side wonders if their side won. Was this a victory for Kaep? For the NFL? Was this the wrong move for the cause? And why, after two years, are the facts surrounding Kaepernick's employment, and lack there of, still so often wrong. This weeks episode takes a look at the defying moment for Colin Kaepernick and a moment in NFL history they'll attempt to quickly erase.

Where Ya Been? Where We Going? How'd We Get Here?

A special early holiday edition of Be Conscious. Camara Williams, an attorney in Florida, and guest columnist for the Orlando Sentinel, joins me to discuss the mid-terms in Florida, why Andrew Gillum lost and how big of a factor race was in the campaigns. We discuss the parallels between what happened in Florida, what happened in Georgia, and which one of these states got away with stealing the election. Camara gives his thoughts on the electoral college, the voting system as a whole, and what these mid-terms may mean for Donald Trump in 2020.
