"We want to say that campus racism is wherever 'the other' is," says Lawrence Ross, author of Blackballed: The Black and White Politics of Race on America's Campuses. "But no, [racism] happens at Missouri, Yale, Berkeley, Columbia, my alma mater, UCLA...whether it's a small college, or a private college, or a state college, it happens in every place."

In today's podcast, we've got the audio from a public debate between Ross and The Fifth Column's Kmele Foster over the following proposition: "America's colleges have fostered a racist environment that makes them a hostile space for African American students."
