Was America Founded on Racism and Slaver...

Lucas Skrobot
About this episode

We continue to answer a question from a listener like you were we cover:

  • What was America REALLY founded on?
  • Jim Crow Laws
  • Brown vs. Board of Education
  • Neo-integrationism
  • Dunbar Highschool
  • Social interventionism
  • The Health Care System
  • Who started the KKK?
  • Who abolished Slavery?
  • When was slavery FIRST abolished in America?

This isn't my favorite topic--as US History isn't my wheel house. It isn't my favorite--and for sure there is currently a lot of controversy around this topic, but it is a necessary topic to address, particularly government role in society and that dangers of interventionism.

Society needs the freedom to self sort--even if we don't like the "results".
