Race And Racism In America (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

First it was ragin’ rancher Cliven Bundy, with his assertion that African-Americans were better off as cotton-picking slaves.  Then it got stranger.  The billionaire owner of the L.A. Clippers, Donald Sterling – whose NBA franchise depends on the talents of a whole lot of black men – apparently taped telling his girlfriend, courtside, that he did not want her seen with black men.  That it bothered him.  That that’s the culture we live in and so it goes.  Is that the culture we live in?  This hour On Point:  race and racism in America now.  Where do we stand? / Tom Ashbrook
