Cries of “Reverse Racism” Distract from Reality of Systemic Racism

This brief video by Terry Keleher at the Applied Research Center explains how claims of  “reverse racism” misdirect the public’s attention away from systemic racism by confusing personal prejudices or biases, that can go in any direction and exist to some degree in just about all of us, with the systemic inequalities that put people at a disadvantage “from birth until death.” can only be addressed through broader policy and legal solutions.  Racewire’s Channing Kennedy discusses the resurgence of the “reverse racism” frame in light of the Sotomayor hearings.  [On a related note, don't miss Stephen Colbert's "Report" on reverse racism and the "reverse civil rights" movement.]
