There is racial inequality in America, and some people are distressed over it while others are not. Some White Folks: The Interracial Politics of Sympathy, Suffering, and Solidarity (University of Chicago Press, 2024) by Dr. Jennifer Chudy is a book about white people who feel that distress. For decades, political scientists have studied the effects of white racial prejudice, but Dr. Chudy shows that white racial sympathy for Black Americans' suffering is also a potent force in modern American politics. Grounded in the history of Black-white relations in America, racial sympathy is unique. It is not equivalent to a low level of racial prejudice or sympathy for other marginalized groups. Some White Folks reveals how racial sympathy shapes a significant number of white Americans' opinions on policy areas ranging from the social welfare state to the criminal justice system. Under certain circumstances, it can also spur action—although effects on political behavior are weaker and less consistent, for reasons Dr. Chudy examines. Drawing on diverse quantitative and qualitative evidence and integrating insights from multiple disciplines, Dr. Chudy explores the origins, importance, and complexity of racial sympathy, as well as the practical implications for political and movement leaders. A companion to the rich literature on prejudice, Some White Folks demonstrates the multifaceted role of race in American politics and public opinion. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

The Detroit Tigers continue their winnings ways, clinching 15 of their last 21 games. Coming out of Labor Day, the Tigers are five games out of the third and final wild-card spot in the American League, looking up at the Kansas City Royals and Minnesota Twins. What will it take for the Tigers to surpass one of those teams? Regardless, does the wild-card race change anything about how the Tigers plan to approach the offseason? To get to this point, the Tigers utilized their pitching depth to win games in August despite having just two traditional starters, thanks to the strategy created by president of baseball operations Scott Harris. Manager A.J. Hinch explains the role of the bulk reliever, as well as how it helps the Tigers win games. As for one of the starters, Tarik Skubal is running away with the AL Cy Young Award, but how dominant has he been compared  to pitchers of the past? (Hint: It's one of the best seasons in nearly 60 years.) Follow Mark on X/Twitter here. Follow Evan on X/Twitter here.  Read Evan's most recent work here 

Vice President Kamala Harris is poised to become the Democratic Party's nominee for president. The path to this nomination and the generation election has been a bit unusual—with President Joe Biden deciding not to pursue re-election but doing so after the primary season has concluded. Thus, there is a rather condensed election season, and Vice President Kamala Harris has worked to bring the Democratic Party together after she received President Biden's endorsement after he withdrew from the race. Given the changing dynamics of the presidential race, we also find ourselves with an unexpected choice for the presidency, Kamala Harris, a former attorney general for California, a senator from California, a former prosecutor, and now the vice president of the United States. Harris is also bi-racial, of South Asian and Black heritage, and she will be the second woman nominated as the standard bearer for one of the two major political parties in the United States. I invited three experts on presidential politics, gender, and race in American politics to join me to discuss Kamala Harris's historic and unique run for the presidency. Mary McHugh, Executive Director of Civic and Community Engagement, Stevens Service Learning Center at Merrimack College and member of the Political Science Department at Merrimack, Valeria Sinclair-Chapman, Deputy Director of the American Association for the Advancement of Science SEA Change Program, and professor of political science at Purdue University, and Linda Beail, Professor of Political Science at Point Loma Nazarene University and co-author of the 2012 book, Framing Sarah Palin: Pit Bulls, Puritans, and Politics, all joined the conversation to think about the presidential race, Kamala Harris, race, gender, masculinity, and partisan politics. We cover a lot of ground, including the presentation of masculinity at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee in July, how TikTok and viral memes may influence younger voters, and how Kamala Harris is trying to frame herself and how others are trying to frame her in the course of the abbreviated election cycle. We examine historical contexts for women ascending to office, and how that might be a component of the shifting candidates and how Americans think about elections. We also dive into some of the controversial comments about “crazy cat ladies” and concepts of motherhood, politics, and racial and gendered double binds. Learn more about your ad choices.

We also dive into some of the controversial comments about “crazy cat ladies” and concepts of motherhood, politics, and racial and gendered double binds. Learn more about your ad choices.

Vice President Kamala Harris is poised to become the Democratic Party's nominee for president. The path to this nomination and the generation election has been a bit unusual—with President Joe Biden deciding not to pursue re-election but doing so after the primary season has concluded. Thus, there is a rather condensed election season, and Vice President Kamala Harris has worked to bring the Democratic Party together after she received President Biden's endorsement after he withdrew from the race. Given the changing dynamics of the presidential race, we also find ourselves with an unexpected choice for the presidency, Kamala Harris, a former attorney general for California, a senator from California, a former prosecutor, and now the vice president of the United States. Harris is also bi-racial, of South Asian and Black heritage, and she will be the second woman nominated as the standard bearer for one of the two major political parties in the United States. I invited three experts on presidential politics, gender, and race in American politics to join me to discuss Kamala Harris's historic and unique run for the presidency. Mary McHugh, Executive Director of Civic and Community Engagement, Stevens Service Learning Center at Merrimack College and member of the Political Science Department at Merrimack, Valeria Sinclair-Chapman, Deputy Director of the American Association for the Advancement of Science SEA Change Program, and professor of political science at Purdue University, and Linda Beail, Professor of Political Science at Point Loma Nazarene University and co-author of the 2012 book, Framing Sarah Palin: Pit Bulls, Puritans, and Politics, all joined the conversation to think about the presidential race, Kamala Harris, race, gender, masculinity, and partisan politics.

O.J. Simpson: A Life of Triumph, Tragedy, and Controversy Early Life and Football Career Orenthal James Simpson, known to the world as O.J., was born on July 9, 1947, in San Francisco, California. Growing up in the housing projects of San Francisco, Simpson faced numerous challenges, including poverty and juvenile delinquency. However, he found solace and purpose in football, a sport that would ultimately shape the course of his life. Simpson's remarkable athletic abilities became evident during his high school years at Galileo High School in San Francisco. He earned All-City honors as a running back and was named to the All-American team as a senior. His impressive performance on the field caught the attention of several colleges, and he ultimately chose to attend the University of Southern California (USC) on a football scholarship. At USC, Simpson's football career truly blossomed. He became a two-time All-American and won the prestigious Heisman Trophy in 1968, recognizing him as the best college football player in the country. His speed, agility, and uncanny ability to evade tacklers earned him the nickname "The Juice," a moniker that would stick with him for the rest of his life. After his successful college career, Simpson entered the 1969 NFL Draft and was selected as the first overall pick by the Buffalo Bills. He spent nine seasons with the Bills, setting numerous rushing records and earning five Pro Bowl selections. In 1973, he became the first NFL player to rush for more than 2,000 yards in a single season, a feat that stood as a record for over a decade. Simpson's on-field success translated into off-field opportunities, and he became a popular figure in American culture. He appeared in television commercials, endorsing products such as Hertz rental cars and Pioneer chicken. His charisma and good looks also landed him acting roles in films like "The Towering Inferno" (1974) and "The Naked Gun" trilogy (1988-1994). The Trial of the Century However, Simpson's life took a dramatic and tragic turn in 1994. On June 12, his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman were found brutally murdered outside Nicole's home in Los Angeles. Simpson quickly became the prime suspect in the killings, and what followed was a legal and media circus that captivated the nation. On June 17, 1994, Simpson was scheduled to turn himself in to the police but failed to appear. This led to a televised low-speed police chase, with Simpson riding in a white Ford Bronco driven by his friend Al Cowlings. The chase, which was watched live by millions of people, ended with Simpson surrendering to authorities at his Brentwood estate. Simpson's trial, dubbed the "Trial of the Century," began on January 24, 1995, and lasted for nine months. The prosecution presented a wealth of physical evidence, including blood samples and a bloody glove found at the crime scene that matched Simpson's DNA. However, the defense team, led by Johnnie Cochran, argued that the evidence had been planted by racist police officers seeking to frame Simpson. The trial also brought to light issues of domestic violence, as Nicole Brown Simpson had previously reported incidents of abuse by O.J. Simpson. The defense team, however, portrayed Nicole as a drug abuser and suggested that her associations with unsavory characters might have led to her murder. In a stunning turn of events, on October 3, 1995, the jury found O.J. Simpson not guilty of the murders. The verdict divided the nation along racial lines, with many African Americans viewing the trial as a victory against a biased criminal justice system, while many white Americans saw the verdict as a miscarriage of justice. Civil Trial and Later Legal Troubles Although Simpson was acquitted in the criminal trial, he faced a civil lawsuit filed by the families of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. In 1997, a civil jury found him liable for the deaths and awarded the families $33.5 million in damages, a judgment that left Simpson financially ruined. In the years following the trials, Simpson encountered further legal troubles. In 2001, he was arrested in Florida for road rage after allegedly pulling the glasses off another motorist during a traffic dispute. He was tried and acquitted of the charges in October 2001. In September 2007, Simpson was arrested in Las Vegas, Nevada, and charged with armed robbery and kidnapping. Prosecutors alleged that he and several associates had broken into a Las Vegas hotel room and stolen sports memorabilia at gunpoint. On October 3, 2008, exactly 13 years after his acquittal in the murder trial, Simpson was found guilty of all charges and sentenced to 33 years in prison with the possibility of parole after nine years. Prison and Parole Simpson served his sentence at the Lovelock Correctional Center in Nevada. During his incarceration, he was granted parole on some of the lesser charges in 2013 but remained imprisoned on the more serious offenses. In July 2017, after serving nine years in prison, Simpson was granted parole and released on October 1 of that year. Upon his release, Simpson expressed his desire to move forward with his life and stay out of the public eye. He settled in Las Vegas, where he had lived prior to his arrest, and largely kept a low profile. However, his notoriety and the enduring fascination with his legal saga ensured that he remained a subject of public interest and media scrutiny. Final Years and Legacy In his final years, Simpson continued to be a polarizing figure. While some saw him as a symbol of the flaws in the American justice system and the persistent issue of racial inequality, others viewed him as a guilty man who had evaded punishment for a heinous crime. Simpson's health began to decline in his later years, and he was diagnosed with cancer. Despite his illness, he remained active on social media, often sharing his opinions on sports and current events. He also made occasional public appearances, including a controversial visit to a Buffalo Bills game in 2018, where he was seen taking photos with fans. On [date], 2023, O.J. Simpson passed away at the age of 76 due to complications from his cancer diagnosis. His death marked the end of a life that had been defined by incredible highs and devastating lows, leaving behind a complex and divisive legacy. Simpson's impact on American culture and the legal system cannot be overstated. His trial exposed deep-seated racial tensions and brought issues of celebrity, justice, and media influence to the forefront of public consciousness. The outcome of the trial, which many viewed as a miscarriage of justice, led to widespread calls for reform in the criminal justice system and a reexamination of the role of race in American society. In the world of sports, Simpson's on-field achievements remain a part of football history. His record-breaking performances and his status as one of the greatest running backs of all time are still celebrated by fans and analysts alike. However, his off-field actions and legal troubles have forever tarnished his reputation and overshadowed his athletic accomplishments. As we reflect on the life of O.J. Simpson, it is clear that his story is one of triumph, tragedy, and controversy. From his humble beginnings in San Francisco to his meteoric rise as a football star and cultural icon, Simpson's life was a testament to the power of perseverance and the allure of the American Dream. However, the shocking events of 1994 and the subsequent legal battles that consumed the nation serve as a sobering reminder of the complexities of fame, race, and justice in America. O.J. Simpson's legacy will forever be a subject of debate and fascination, a reflection of the deep-rooted issues and contradictions that continue to shape our society. As we grapple with the enduring impact of his life and death, we are reminded of the ongoing struggle for justice, equality, and understanding in a world that is all too often marked by division and strife.

The conversation of race in American society isn't going away, as there is still much to talk about and a lot of healing left to do. Critical Race Theory seems to find itself at the center of much of that conversation. Whether you applaud restrictions on CRT or see those restrictions as masking a real issue, knowing what CRT is can be very important. Author and Speaker Neil Shevni has his Ph.D. in Chemistry but has taken up the task of helping Christians understand Critical Race Theory. He joined Bobby back in 2020 for a live discussion, answering questions such as: What is the difference between Critical Theory and Critical Race Theory? What is the worldview that unpins Critical Race Theory, and is that worldview compatible with Christianity? How does CRT work? And many other important topics.

The history of race in American theater is more complicated than you might think, writes Dr. Josephine Lee in Oriental, Black, and White: The Formation of Racial Habits in American Theater (UNC Press, 2022). Dr. Lee, a professor of English and Asian American Studies at the University of Minnesota, examines the linked histories of orientalism, Blackface and Yellowface, in nineteenth and early twentieth century American theater, showing how identity creation and racialization occurred among multiple groups simultaneously. Within the context of large scale East Asian immigration to the West coast, labor debates, and American empire building. Theaters, both on the East and West coasts, and touring Black and white theater companies, thus both reflected and shaped American ideas about race and belonging throughout this time period. A fascinating and complex look at how Americans tried to make sense of their world, Lee asks readers to look beyond easy answers and assumptions, and look at American theater in a new way.

Heaton Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCXFCoe2sbc&t=34s On this episode of "We're Not Wrong," hosts Jen Briny, Justin Robert Young, and Andrew Heaton are diving into some of the most pressing topics making headlines. The historic indictment of former President Donald Trump is front and center, as he pleads not guilty to 34 felony counts, including falsifying business records and alleged violations of election laws. The team will discuss the details of the "catch and kill" scheme that prosecutors say Trump orchestrated to suppress negative information ahead of the 2016 election. With Trump's lawyer vowing to fight the charges and a trial date set for December 4th, the hosts will explore whether this is a sufficient charge against a former president who is also a current candidate. Finally, the episode will take listeners to Wisconsin, where the state's Supreme Court race has come to a close. As the most expensive state judicial race in American history, with over $45 million spent, the outcome could impact the future of abortion and other key issues in the state. The hosts will discuss the current 4-3 conservative majority on the court and the potential for change. They'll also debate the merits of selecting justices through partisan elections versus appointment and consider alternative methods for selecting high-level judicial authorities. Join Jen, Justin, and Andrew for an insightful and thought-provoking episode of "We're Not Wrong," where they'll tackle these hot topics and share their analysis. Don't miss it!

In Heathen: Religion and Race in American History (Harvard University Press, 2022), Kathryn Gin Lum shows how the idea of the “heathen” has been maintained from the colonial era to the present in religious and secular discourses—discourses, specifically, of race. Race continues to operate as a heathen inheritance in the United States, animating Americans' sense of being a world apart from an undifferentiated mass of needy, suffering peoples. Heathen thus reveals a key source of American exceptionalism and a prism through which Americans have defined themselves as a progressive and humanitarian nation even as supposed heathens have drawn on the same to counter this national myth. Piotr H. Kosicki is Associate Professor of History at the University of Maryland, College Park. He is the author of Catholics on the Barricades (Yale, 2018) and editor, among others, of Political Exile in the Global Twentieth Century (with Wolfram Kaiser). Learn more about your ad choices.

In Heathen: Religion and Race in American History (Harvard University Press, 2022), Kathryn Gin Lum shows how the idea of the “heathen” has been maintained from the colonial era to the present in religious and secular discourses—discourses, specifically, of race. Race continues to operate as a heathen inheritance in the United States, animating Americans' sense of being a world apart from an undifferentiated mass of needy, suffering peoples. Heathen thus reveals a key source of American exceptionalism and a prism through which Americans have defined themselves as a progressive and humanitarian nation even as supposed heathens have drawn on the same to counter this national myth.

If an eighteenth-century parson told you that the difference between "civilization and heathenism is sky-high and star-far," the words would hardly come as a shock. But that statement was written by an American missionary in 1971. In a sweeping historical narrative, Kathryn Gin Lum shows how the idea of the heathen has been maintained from the colonial era to the present in religious and secular discourses--discourses, specifically, of race. Americans long viewed the world as a realm of suffering heathens whose lands and lives needed their intervention to flourish. The term "heathen" fell out of common use by the early 1900s, leading some to imagine that racial categories had replaced religious differences. But the ideas underlying the figure of the heathen did not disappear. Americans still treat large swaths of the world as "other" due to their assumed need for conversion to American ways. Purported heathens have also contributed to the ongoing significance of the concept, promoting solidarity through their opposition to white American Christianity. Gin Lum looks to figures like Chinese American activist Wong Chin Foo and Ihanktonwan Dakota writer Zitkála-Sá, who proudly claimed the label of "heathen" for themselves. Race continues to operate as a heathen inheritance in the United States, animating Americans' sense of being a world apart from an undifferentiated mass of needy, suffering peoples. Heathen: Religion and Race in American History (Harvard UP, 2022) thus reveals a key source of American exceptionalism and a prism through which Americans have defined themselves as a progressive and humanitarian nation even as supposed heathens have drawn on the same to counter this national myth.
