Understanding the new politics of race - Prof. John McWhorter

Towards the Common Good: Rethinking Race in the 21st Century conference, hosted by The Equiano Project Emmanuel College and King's College, Cambridge Keynote speaker: Professor John McWhorter, Professor of Linguistics, Columbia University This video is a segment from the below panel discussion. Understanding the new politics of race Despite the success of the civil rights movement in the 1960s in transforming the lives of black people, race politics in the US at the start of this century seems more polarised than ever. Racial inequality persists but there are fierce debates over the causes and solutions. Rather than seeking to realise the liberal ideal of a 'colour-blind' society, a new anti-racism politics wants to raise consciousness about race and the 'problem' of whiteness. Is this leading to more equality and progress or not? How should liberals approach this question? Crucially, how is the US experience influencing what happens in the UK and what can we learn from it?
