It's obviously the case that there are bigots, but are they in positions of power?

Are they running systems of policing that have black chiefs?

Are there major differences in treatment when you adjust for differences in behavior and what we generally find is no.

Good afternoon or evening of all of those things today's episode is with Professor

Wilfred Riley an associate professor of political science at Kentucky State

University and the author of books Tabu Ten Facts You Can't Talk About and Hate Crime Hokes.

So he'll be talking about, I suppose it's the Culture Wars and he weighs in on the free speech

authoritarian centre right side and I sort of debate a little bit

with him because I'm a sort of milk toast centrist as people accuse me of being but but it's a good chat I think interesting

some interesting ideas it's a shorter one today usually the Mondays and Thursdays

are an hour long and the Saturdays are half an hour this one's half an hour so that's just because I've just

had too much stuff going on over Christmas and holidays it's been impossible it's

been hard to get people because everybody you asked to interview says like yeah yeah

how's mid-January and you've got to be like well I need to put stuff

out now you know but it's a great episode anyway and also if you've got an extra half

an hour to spare afterwards come check out the YouTube channel because I put extra

videos on there all the time where I break down analyses of

different videos and all sorts of things that don't always go on the audio podcast so it's on the edge

with Andrew Gold on YouTube.

That's annoying, YouTube.

I won't talk like that anymore.

Coming up, Katie Holmes leaving Tom Cruise and Scientology,
