Ep 799 | Raising Victims: How Leftism Holds Black America Back | Guest: Leonydus Johnson
from Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey · host Blaze Podcast Network
Today we're joined by Leonydus Johnson, political commentator and author of "Raising Victims: The Pernicious Rise of Critical Race Theory," to discuss where our country is headed when it comes to how we deal with race. We discuss his accidental fall into the political sphere after realizing the lies of the Left. We talk about why people who claim to be apolitical tend to vote leftward and explain why the ideas of the Left in theory sound so appealing to the unengaged person. We also discuss the rise of BLM and social justice bullying and the real definition of critical race theory and DEI. And Leonydus shares his definition of color-blindness and explains his argument for moving to a post-racial society. --- Timecodes: (00:55) Accidentally falling into politics (03:46) Why do apolitical people lean to the left (05:30) Obama and the shift of mainstream opinion / BLM (18:10) Critical race theory (28:20) Reasons for disparities (35:06) Equality of opportunity / equity (46:44) Colorblindness --- Today's Sponsors: A'Del — go to adelnaturalcosmetics.com and enter promo code "ALLIE" for 25% off your first order!
