is it the people who make up the place who are can be racist. bakari, when you look at the pro-trump mob on january 6th, one of the hero officers called it a white nationalist insurrection. and there was a clear racial component to it. that happened at the u.s. capitol, right? yes. don, there are a couple of things. one is that republicans really don t have an agenda to run on. that s first. second, and probably even more importantly, this is something democrats have to really worry about, is that joe biden and the democratic administration have not addressed, as mark may have said, these racial issues. they have not tackled these issues. justice was on the ballot in 2020. but voting rights, the justice in policing act, these things have still not been addressed in a way that until that happens, that i think you re going to have a stagnant
country. by the way, it s real. i mean it was not just some perception. in fact, people in america thinks that black are discriminated almost twice as much as they did in 2008. back then 26% of americans thought blacks were discriminated against and other ethnic minorities and today that s 58%, 59%. so it s more than doubled. so it s a reality they have to deal with. but i tell my democratic friends, beware, be carefcarefu. i remember when we first heard defund police and i called my democratic friends and said get on top of this because you got to dig down beneath what the message they re really selling. the message they re selling with part of that message is to say that democrats hate america and democrats think america is wrong. so that s my signal. i feel you on that. i have to think about that more, if it s fair so say that can a place be racist, or is it the people who make up the place who can be racist? bakari, look, when you look at the pro-trump mob on january
