- Why does the racial divide persist between comparatively similar segments of the workforce? If additional education is not the solution to racial inequality, what is? In this interview, Professor Sandy Darity discusses the troubling systemic and psychosocial challenges that have faced black Americans since the formation of the United States.
Dr Darity from Duke University definitely needs to be part of any congressional study or legislation on reparations!
Henry George wrote Progress and Poverty in the context of abolition. He knew that de facto slavery could not be fully abolished without land reform, without ending the protected monopoly on a major part of the commons - land. If we implemented his Single Tax idea there would be a massive re-balancing of the economy towards the ordinary worker, and towards productive business.
So glad I have learned who William Darity is; had never heard of him before today. I will be looking for his book, "From Here to Equality" and also for more of his videos. He is a brilliant man.
“Our beliefs control our bodies, our minds, and thus our lives...”
Thank you Dr. Darity for the work you have done and continue to do. ADOS
I was studying for a university economics midterm. And Russel Means got me looking for more knowledge.
The inheritances that are discussed here derive mainly from land value, from owning land. If we taxed this instead of wages and doing business then workers and entrepreneurs would be able to leave inheritances instead of landowners - who accumulate wealth created by others. LVT still gets far too little discussion.

Video quality is amazing.
Love this interview. Very enlightening. You guys should read the book “Breaking the chains: the road to mental emancipation”. Speaks in detail on same topics.
Wonderful clip, thank you!
Until we leave our children inheritance, invest our money and build our own economy, the wealth gap will continue.
I read, "When the oppressed set themselves free, they not only free themselves but their oppressors." Paulo Friere.
Very well said. Ignore the racebait trolls.
People should stop interfering with our justice claim if other have one bring it leave ours alone
I support giving Black people a guaranteed income, free eduction, and free medical care. Oh wait...we should all have that.
I’m just curious as to how that work there are people whose ancestors didn’t live here during slavery. There are people who had nothing to do with economic disparities of black people. How do you take taxes from them for a crime in which they were not involved. Also, there were plenty of black men who owned slaves in the south. How do you decide who they were so that you can collect from their families as well. And what about the African nations that first enslaved and sold their brethren. Will you ask them for money? I guess I don’t understand how you decide who committed the crimes of the past that were so egregious that you can take from their descendants to give to people who were not victims of the original sin.
Dr Darity looks like Toni Preckwinkle
Give us some of that wealth. And watch us save America.
I will say this I would like for Dr. Darity to investigate some of the works of Thomas Sowell, Jason Riley, Walter E. Williams and then get back to me on the top. Because I am tired of Black complaining about race, racism, inequality etc. Black American lacks accountability, moral, and the ability to put differences aside to work together. If this society not working for you, I still think believe should be given the opportunity to go where they think things will be much more perfect. Because last I checked I have yet to see a movement to return to African if that is where you think you come from and will be treated much better.
