Summary

Commentator and political pro Zerlina Maxwell's book "The End of White Politics" could not be better timed. It comes in the summer of BLM and COVID when America's racial inequities and their costs could not be clearer. But it also comes as America begins a 25 year transition to becoming a society in which whites are in the minority for the first time in our history. The GOP is seeking to play on the fear those changes instill in white America. Will Democrats step up to seize the moment and become the party that produces the transformational changes America's emerging majority demands? We discuss with Maxwell, one of the smartest observers of American politics and a woman with a vision for the future of American politics that must not be ignored. Don't miss it.

0:56.3	episode of the podcast today with Zerlina Maxwell whose new book is The End of White

1:37.2	One is what I would call the small moment the moment that we're in right now, right? COVID, Black Lives Matter, the crisis that we're facing economically and socially.
1:50.0	And the other is what I would call the big moment, the politics of the next quarter century,
1:55.3	where we are undergoing a transformation, which I think is driving a lot of this moment, is driving a lot of the politics of the GOP.
2:06.0	But I think the point your book makes pretty well, and I am unfortunately reminded of it on a regular basis is that I don't think the
2:15.6	Democratic Party has quite caught up with that reality. Do you agree?
