Summary

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to economist Glenn Loury about why he is against affirmative action and reparations. Glenn shares his thoughts on why the narrative of systemic racism is wrong and how the Democratic Party pushes lies to get black votes. Glenn describes how the U.S. has come as close as it possibly can to solving institutional racism and why people hold on to the belief that systemic racism is the reason for racial inequality. He also points out why systemic racism fails to explain why disparities occur. Glenn demands that if African Americans want to start eliminating these disparities, they need to stop playing the victim. The victim mentality will only lower the bar for what is possible.
