Featuring: Karen Hunter, Pulitzer Prize-Winning Journalist and host of The Karen Hunter Show on SiriusXM Urban View, and Professor Mehrsa Baradaran, author of The Color of Money: Black Banks and the Racial Wealth Gap.   In this episode, Karen and Mehrsa continue their discussion about the racial wealth gap in the United States. They discuss a potential blueprint for a way forward and how change is possible.   They also consider how the racial wealth gap could be closed sooner than 200 years and how individuals can (and should) actively participate.   Additionally, Karen and Mehrsa discuss modern social movements, pushback, and the logistics of finding a way forward.

Featuring: Karen Hunter, Pulitzer Prize-Winning Journalist and host of The Karen Hunter Show on SiriusXM Urban View, and Professor Mehrsa Baradaran, author of The Color of Money: Black Banks and the Racial Wealth Gap.   Racism within the systems of the United States has led to a wealth gap that some reports claim will take over 200 years to close. In this episode, Karen and Mehrsa discuss the reality of the racial wealth gap, what that looks like, and why it exists.    Mehrsa spent over a decade studying and debunking the myths around the racial wealth gaps and the exceptions we have made rules. With Karen, she discusses her findings, frustrations, the reality of American history, and its impact on finance today.    Karen and Mehrsa also examine how violence, domestic terrorism, and legal looting as a means of control and suppression are utilized against the Black community and prevent wealth growth.    The pair round out the discussion with the legacy of events like the Red Summer and the passage of the New Deal have left behind.

In the second Spotlight on Race and Wealth episode Dedrick speaks with Mehrsa Baradaran, Professor of law at UCI Law about race and wealth inequality. Mehrsa discusses Postal Banking and The Homestead Act, policies that can lead to bridging the racial wealth divide.Episode Highlights:Mehrsa: When you have a natural system where a few people are going to hold a lot of capital or one raise doesn't have capital was not allowed to own homes and their property was not protected. Can you disrupt that? What you see in history is that the only way you build wealth in new communities is a capital shift. Mehrsa: This is where wealth vs income comes in to play. Wealth inequality is much stickier and much less dependent on individual decisions. Yes, a person could increase their income within a certain range, even that is pretty sticky. It is very difficult to go from a very low wealth family or environment into a high wealth one and vice versa. The passed down nature of wealth really creates these intergenerational disparities. Mehrsa: This is why this idea of individual decision is this false promise of equality. I don't think any class has a monopoly on good decision making.Dedrick: The problem is if you look at Black or Latino wealth, it is mostly in-home ownership while white wealth is more in stocks and these types of things. The issue is that blacks need to be more in stock but it's not looking at the reality of if you have a median wealth of 3 or 4 thousand dollars you are not running around trying to figure out what stocks to invest in. You're lucky to be a homeowner and you're trying to pay off that mortgage.Mehrsa: 60% of Americans have their main asset in a home. It's cross racial, but with black and brown homes they don't increase in value as much as do white homes because of embedded natures of segregation and racism. The market is racist because it embeds people's preferences. People would rather move in to an all-white community than a black one and those market rates reflect that. Mehrsa: Poor people pay 10% of their income just to use their money because banks are no longer serving these clients. And then you have payday lending and high interest rate other forms of lending: pawn, title. So how do you fix this? A lot of people respond with community banks, small banks, credit unions. My research and history show that these banks either are not or are not doing it. Credit unions are not offering accounts to the unbanked. They're just as big, their clients are more wealthy than bank clients even. Mehrsa: One of the most effective, in American history, of financial inclusion was through the postal bank. It is not a radical idea, but it has been approached as one. The idea is the Post Office already exists everywhere. It already has that transmission mechanism of it already gives money orders, already has its own network. You could transfer money; you could deposit money in a little saving account there. You could link up and get a digital account. You could even get loans at the Post Office. Dedrick: There is much more mainstream conversations about big policy ideas that could help address some of these issues. Even though postal banking wouldn't bridge the racial wealth divide. It would disproportionately help the under banked which are African Americans, Latinos and large numbers of Whites as well.Mehrsa: This is where the Homestead Act comes in. Over the last 30 years, and I have spoken a lot against this, we have these tax incentive programs like opportunity zones or enterprise zones. The idea is we are going to give businesses goodies like tax cuts and the business investment in this community is going to benefit everybody. And that just doesn't work, one, because of the capital idea. The person getting the capital is that business. The person getting the tax cut is the outside business.

This month Mehrsa Baradaran, author of The Color of Money: Black Banks and the Racial Wealth Gap and associate dean of strategic initiatives at the University of Georgia School of Law, joined Maurice A. Jones and Imani Darden from our Knowledge Management team to discuss the history of the racial wealth gap and its impact on economic prosperity for communities of color. The conversation explores the viability of entrepreneurship and business ownership in the context of this history and the role of the industry at large in pushing for economic justice.

The racial wealth gap is among the most dire problems in contemporary society. As of 2014, Black households had fewer than seven cents for every dollar owned by white households. This situation of racial wealth inequity is disturbingly similar to the one that existed at the end of slavery. Today, we welcome back to the show Mehrsa Baradaran, our guest from episode 30. We speak to Mehrsa about her recent book about the history of the racial wealth gap and how Black banks—a solution that is often suggested—have instead operated as a decoy, and distracted from more far-reaching solutions. Mehrsa Baradaran is author of The Color of Money: Black Banks and the Racial Wealth Gap. She is Associate Dean for Strategic Initiatives & J. Alton Hosch Associate Professor of Law at the University of Georgia School of Law.

Mehrsa and Makena will be talking about growing up.

When the Emancipation Proclamation was signed in 1863, the black community owned less than one percent of the United States’ total wealth. More than 150 years later, that number has barely budged. According to a new book by Mehrsa Baradaran, The Color of Money, this absence of wealth isn't just a failure to atone for oppression imposed by slavery and Jim Crow — it's the product of contemporary acts to maintain their legacies. Today, the racial wealth gap persists in building wealth for those who already have it and sowing debt among those who don't. Many policies animated by this trend — fees and fines levied my municipal governments and the criminal justice system; residential segregation; the rise of predatory payday lenders — disappear mainstream banks from communities of color, pass off responsibility of investment in their wealth, and enforce conditions that disproportionately push them from profit to poverty. Join New America NYC and the NYU McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research for a conversation with legal, business, and racial equity leaders on the fight for economic justice and how to pioneer strategies that reform how government works — and who it serves.

The 2017 Salt Lake Sunstone Symposium convenes in two weeks (July 26–29), and this episode introduces some of its highlights. But far more than just that, two of Sunstone's leaders—executive director and event coordinator Lindsay Hansen Park, and Sunstone magazine editor Stephen Carter—speak candidly about the new directions Sunstone has been moving in lately, and the new identity it is embracing. And it is also an identity that many listeners to this podcast will find fascinating and empowering for themselves in their individual lives within the Mormon tradition. Rejecting the foundation's past attempts to try to bend its focus to convince people that it is not primarily is a group of Mormon misfits who negatively influence the wider LDS Church, it has completely tossed damaging scripts that play over and over in wider Mormonism about who is "in," who is "out," who is "heretic," "apostate," or a "real" Mormon, etc. Instead it is embracing the motto that "There are many ways to Mormon." It recognizes the individuality of paths within the Mormon tradition and invites all to come and share about their journeys, beliefs, peculiarities, and spiritual cores. If you're able to speak well and respectfully of others, Sunstone welcomes you to its gatherings and to submit pieces to be considered for publication. It will no longer play identity games that ultimately only benefit institutions rather than individuals. And just as Sunstone embraces all ways to Mormon—active and fully engaged in the LDS church, post-Mormon, ex-Mormon, fundamentalist Mormon, member of the Community of Christ or groups who separate from the Salt Lake headquartered church, or individuals who are in any other way shaped in some way by the Mormon tradition might think of themselves—might we also consider this attitude and path for ourselves? What might our Mormon journeys look like if we truly internalized the message that our way of "Mormon-ing" is just fine. Listen in as this approach and embrace of every path (whether others consider it "fringe" or not) is laid out. Along the way you'll learn more about the history of the Sunstone organization and its development alongside key moments in the past four-plus decades of Mormon history, including those brought on by the emergence of the internet and other things that have led it to seek new ways of connecting with Mormons. And, if you're interested in learning more about its 2017 Salt Lake symposium and some of its key sessions, and other details such as how to register and how to purchase audio of the sessions should you not be able to attend (or that you missed because there were so many good ones happening concurrently!), you will not be disappointed. Those come in the final third of the episode.

A conversation with Mormon political commentators Brad Kramer, Joshua Madson, Mehrsa Baradaran about the US Presidential elections.  They tackle the question 'What happened to America?'  & 'What happened to the Mormons?'

Author and academic Mehrsa Baradaran joins me to discuss her unique Mormon upbringing, her work on Wall Street, and the Christian ethics of the financial system.

It’s our back to school episode. We pick up in the middle of a conversation about the order of the months of the calendar and then turn to our main topic: how to teach law. With Mehrsa Baradaran we delve into why classes might turn on you, how to manage the awkward student-teacher relationship, and presumptions of competence and incompetence. We dig into Mehrsa’s Teaching While Woman blog post and all our experiences with privileges, failures, and successes. First names, last names, cold-calling? Authenticity, professionalism, and, obviously, nudist colonies. Also: Mehrsa’s aspiration to be the Postmaster General and Joe’s to be, somehow, a “Lord High Chancellor."

Law and banking in one podcast. Take deep breaths lest your racing heart burst in your chest. You think I'm joking. Probably because you don't know Mehrsa Baradaran. But then, you probably do, because everyone does. We talk about, among other things, how one should say “Mehrsa,” what banking is, It’s a Wonderful Life, how banks are subsidized and regulated, how 40 percent of the country doesn’t really bank or at least “underbanks,” and payday lenders. Christian does not call Joe “Adam Smith.” Mehrsa defends banking at the post office (dubbed by one banking industry exec “the worst idea since the Ford Edsel”). From the bank bailouts to moral hazard to the the precarious financial position of the working poor, we cover a lot of ground. And, naturally, speed traps. (Update 11/24/2018: Christian here. A listener got in touch with some very thoughtful criticism of our discussion during the intro. Talking about a gendered list, I casually raised switching genders to get on this list, in a way that the listener perceived as making a joke of transgender people. It pains me that this discussion would hurt anyone. I’m very sorry. Although it has been a long time since this conversation, I know my intent was to poke a little fun at the gendered nature of the list, though I winced at my ham-fisted mention of reassignment surgery. I hope it’s a sign of progress that I don’t believe the conversation would be the same today as it was then. But we feel strongly that retroactively editing the show should be reserved for truly exceptional situations, not to save face.)
