Color blindness while normalization of white supremacy. that dollarization of color blindness is what we saw on the shelby county freeholder decision that said that racism no longer exists. certainly not like it was. that s what we saw in the recent affirmative action decision that this has to be about merit, this is not about race. so, color blindness gives this heightened status while ignoring the operational power and halved of white supremacy in america. and dr. kennedy, i would love your reaction to this. also, how concerning is all of this for democracy? well, white nationalism is a branch of white supremacy. white nationalists believe that white people should dominate the united states. white nationalists believe the united states was founded for
Believed that the day of jubilee could come. who fought for a multi racial democracy that benefited everyone. so, i think standing in that tradition, i do believe we can get through this. the only way in which we get through this is by fighting white nationalists who do not believe in democracy, who believe in a form of white supremacy that is not even beneficial to most white people. if we fight them head on and build equity inequality for us all. you know, actually, the fact that we can have this conversation and the fact that the conversation we re having is not falling on deaf ears, people are actually paying attention. that s what gives me hope. doctor kendi, professor carroll anderson, thank you very much for coming to the sunday show. and coming, up it is time to sound. off renee graham and basil junior joins me next to discuss the week s top political moments. don t go anywhere. n t go anywhere.
A turning point for the 2024 election across roads for our democracy. donald trump gave a speech last night in florida where the truth he told were more alarming than the lies. plus, the climate crisis we re living every day and what can be done about it. we still don t know what s happening inside russia since you ve getting prigozhin s mutiny. there are clues, and we re gonna examine them all. then, one of the stupidest things happening on the internet right now is unfortunately important to democracy, involves these two guys. that s on another hour of velshi, starting right now. good morning, it s sunday, july 16th, i m ali velshi. we begin this morning with a crucial turning point in this election cycle and an inflection point for our democracy. donald trump brought our system
Political candidate against you in your life. it is a really dark path. story, i have to ask, i can understand trump s running so far ahead of desantis and everybody else in that race, he is using what works for the primary, but i cannot see why independent voters, why moderate republicans would go for this sort of top. it is really dangerous stuff. i mean, this lumping of communists, and marxists, and fascists, in 2024 is our final battle, if you believe in democracy than 2024 is not your final battle. look, i think we will have a close election, we ve learned the democrats with electoral college have to win by at least four points. so it is really important to keep in mind for everybody over this next year, when you see a poll, and biden is ahead by two points, he s probably losing the electoral college. so it is really a game of small numbers.
