In The Thick

Wearing the Mask

Listen Later

Two leading Democrats in Virginia have acknowledged that they did blackface in the past and a third Democrat has been accused of sexual abuses. Maria and Julio try to understand this mess (and more) with two All-Stars: journalist and Columbia professor Alexis Clark, and Dr. Eddie Glaude, Jr., James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor at Princeton University.     ITT Staff Picks:

  • Vox explains why we need to talk about blackface and racism now.
  • The Intercept on the power of the Green New Deal and its first "baby steps."
  • Trump's rally in El Paso —and Beto's response — is a preview of every 2020 debate to come, Julio's latest for NBC Think.
