Who is responsible for improving racial disparities, and why? Do White Americans today bear any responsibility for rectifying the sins that White Americans committed in the past? If they don’t, is there any moral duty to do something to help improve racial inequality anyways? And is there any benefit that White Americans still receive today for the legacy of racial discrimination and abuse from the past?
In this conversation, our guests discuss what responsibility we have for one another as human beings and as fellow citizens, and they apply their ideas of responsibility to the area of race. What is the role of White Americans and what is the role of Black Americans to rectify the racial inequities we observe in society? How can we show up and show support for people of different racial and other identities when they are being disparaged, put down, or discriminated against? Is there a moral duty to do so?
