Racial Wealth Gap (w/ Coleman Hughes)

Coleman Hughes is a writer, podcaster, and opinion columnist who specializes in issues related to race, public policy, and applied ethics. He has been featured in the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The National Review, Quillette, The City Journal, and The Spectator. He's appeared on many TV shows and podcasts including "Real Time with Bill Maher," "Making Sense with Sam Harris," and the "Jordan B. Peterson Podcast." He's also a rapper who goes by the name Coldxman, and his latest tracks can be found on Spotify and YouTube.

In this episode, Coleman and I talk about:

  • The racial wealth gap and its origins

  • Why government action, including reparations, is not a solution

  • Whether 100% equality among all races is possible or even desirable

  • How progressive policies that supposedly help African-Americans are actually holding them back

  • What issues we should focus on if we actually want to empower Black economic autonomy
