Dr. Terrance Dean and "The Other Side" podcast host, Scot Kirk, talk to Dr. Karen Powell Sears about her recent Dispatch op-ed column on systemic racism and white privilege.

The Denison University sociology professor explains the history behind racist practices in the real estate and banking industries that were implemented to restrict Black home ownership. Even though some of those practices are now illegal, the legacy of those practices still hurts Black communities today.

Powell Sears also explains why race is a construct, and why ignoring racism puts us at risk for repeating our mistakes.
