Author Thaddeus Russell joins the Freedom Report podcast today to discuss racism, minorities, and American culture in the backdrop of the shootings in South Carolina.
Russell is the author of The Renegade History of the United States, a controversial book that examines how the malcontents, mischief makers, and ne’er do wells in American history were the true pioneers of American freedom as we know it today. He’s also a professor at Occidental College, with a controversial history of his own. Russell was fired from a job after he made controversial comments about MLK and black culture. So what does he say when asked about whether the problems of blacks in modern America are of their own making? Were the blacks under slavery more free than they are today?
Today’s interview with Russell examines racial problems in America, as well as the culture of conservatism in the wake of the legalization of gay marriage. Please subscribe on iTunes.
