The Obamalisk
from [Un]phased Unedited Podcast · host Lisa Ingarfield
In this week's episode, the hosts touch on the notion of jawboning as a means of political coercion and the Obama Presidential Center - the 8-story, 225-foot-tall museum tower designed for community in ways that the other presidential centers have not accomplished. Lastly, the Drs deep dive into the theory of colorblindness using the Voting Rights Act as a backdrop. It can make intuitive sense to people, but the Drs argue it actually perpetuates inequality.Mentioned in the showThe ‘Obamalisk’ Rises on Chicago’s South Side - NYTWelcome to the Obama FoundationRacial Color Blindness: Emergence, Practice, and Implications – The Association of Psychological ScienceVoters Can Be Disenfranchised Now – Adam Serwer, The AtlanticJohn Roberts Believes in an America That Doesn’t Exist – Jamelle Bouie, NYT Opinion
