Duke economist William Darity is back to update us on wealth inequality in the Trump-Biden era.

Join us for part two of this two-part series, where we continue our journey as we sit down with esteemed scholars William Sandy Darity and A Kirsten Mullen, the architects of the Black Reparations Project Handbook. Our conversation is a deep and transformative look into the heart of reparations for Black Americans, a topic that unravels the fabric of our nation's history. We traverse the could-have-been world of 40 acres land grants, dissect the insufficiencies of piecemeal local and state attempts at reparations, and scrutinize the controversial HR 40 legislation. It's a dialogue that promises to challenge your perceptions, offering a nuanced perspective on the moral imperative to right the wrongs of the past and the potential to heal a nation through a comprehensive federal reparations program.In a twist that reveals the power behind the scenes, we pull back the curtain on how media shapes our understanding and collective narrative about reparations. From the intricacies of determining who is eligible to receive reparations to the crucial role Hollywood plays in influencing public opinion, our discussion with Darity and Mullen is a masterclass in the interplay of media, identity, and history. We look at how representations of diverse relationships and social issues in the media can lead to widespread acceptance and change, pondering the possibility for this to pave the way for reparations discourse.Finally, we reflect on the burgeoning support for reparations among different demographics and discuss the critical support HBCUs need, and deserve, as pillars of education and progress. We talk about closing the racial wealth gap, the tax implications of reparations payments, and the need for unity in the face of a fragmented support system. As we set the stage for future dialogues and action, we close with a heartfelt call to listeners, inviting them to join in the global fight for reparations—a fight rooted in justice, solidarity, and the unyielding belief that together, we can forge a path toward rectifying historical injustices.Support the show

What would it take, and what would it even mean, to heal from a wound like the Wilmington massacre and coup of 1898 — or from centuries of white supremacist violence, disenfranchisement, and theft? An exploration of that question with community members in Wilmington, and experts on restorative justice and reparations. By Michael A. Betts, II and John Biewen. Interviews with Bertha Boykin Todd, Cedric Harrison, Christopher Everett, Kim Cook, William Sturkey, Inez Campbell-Eason, Sonya Bennetonne-Patrick, Candice Robinson, Paul Jervay,Kieran Haile, Larry Reni Thomas, William “Sandy” Darity, and Michelle Lanier. Story editor: Loretta Williams. Voice actor: Mike Wiley. Music by Kieran Haile, Blue Dot Sessions, Okaya, and Lucas Biewen. Art by Zaire McPhearson. “Echoes of a Coup” is an initiative of America's Hallowed Ground, a project of the Kenan Institute for Ethics at Duke University.

In this episode, we'll be joined by esteemed guests, including Dr. William Sandy Darity, a leading expert on wealth inequality, Alejandra Montoya Boyer, the Director of Policy at Prosperity Now, Sergio C. Muñoz, a Mexican banker with a passion for broadcasting, and Abigail Golden VaZquez, a senior fellow at Prosperity Now who has been driving awareness of Latino contributions to the American economy. Together, we'll explore the concept of baby bonds as a means to address wealth disparities, particularly within marginalized communities. We'll discuss the potential impact of these bonds and how they can be used to create a more equitable society. We'll also delve into the current initiatives being proposed, such as the American Opportunity Accounts Act, which has gained traction with Senator Cory Booker and aims to provide newborns with trust accounts calibrated to their family's net worth. Join us as we unravel the complexities of wealth inequality and learn how targeted policies like baby bonds can be a stepping stone towards a fairer and more inclusive future. So, grab your earphones and get ready for another thought-provoking episode of the Multicultural Classroom!

On this edition of Parallax Views, freelancer writer Bertrand Russell joins me to discuss the issue of black poverty, which he grew up in, and his article for The Atlantic entitled "The Failure of Affirmative Action". This article has led to Bertrand appearing on media outlets like MSNBC and Slate. It doesn't argue that Affirmative Action didn't help black Americans, but rather that Affirmative Action didn't adequately address the plight of the black poor in America. In this discussion we'll discuss how black America isn't a monolith, specifically socioeconomically. This'll lead us to talking about the black poor, black middle, and black upper class. We'll also talk about "class reductionism" and "race reductionism", Bertrand's criticism of black intellectual thought leaders like Ta-Nehisi Coates and Ibram X. Kendi, class interests in the black community, the Netflix show Beef and how it deals with the class in relationship to the Asian-American experience, the racial wealth gap and the work of scholar William "Sandy" Darity, the ADOS (American Descendants of Slavery) movement, Ibram X. Kendi's recent piece "'Working Class' Does Not Equal 'White'", acknowledging the human elements when discussing class as well race, the "Ambassador" model of having someone from the upper echelons of a marginalized group represent the rest of that marginalized, class tensions in the black community, lack of representation of the black poor in media and academia, Bertrand's personal experience in University as someone who came from a background of poverty, cultural appropriation of the black poor and their experiences, "authenticity" as a social currency and the potential problems with it, and much, much more!

Paying the price. One of the typical questions asked during conversations about reparations is how to pay for them. Fabiola talks with economist William “Sandy” Darity and folklorist Kirsten Mullen about how reparations could be executed. The husband-and-wife team lays out a comprehensive framework in their book, From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the Twenty-First Century, for who would qualify and how the federal government would afford the $14 trillion price tag.

In this 8th episode of Mixtape: the Podcast, I interviewed Sandy Darity, the Samuel DuBois Professor of Public Policy at Duke's Sanford School and pioneer in a framework within economics called "stratification economics". Stratification economics focuses on the determinants of group-level inequality rooted in group identity, relative position within society, and historic inequalities that compound over time. But we also discuss his love Tarheels basketball, growing up in the Middle East and the degree to which scarcity should be the foundation of economics or not.

Racism in the United States has created an enduring wealth gap between Black and White Americans. This gap is rooted both in slavery itself and in the systematic exclusion of Black people from government assistance and social safety programs beginning after the Civil War and continuing through the Jim Crow era and after. Although it's not easy to capture the magnitude of this injustice, paying reparations to Black Americans is one way to begin to correct it. This week on EconoFact Chats, Professor William (Sandy) Darity Jr. explains the history of the racial wealth gap and why reparations remain necessary today. Sandy Darity is the Samuel DuBois Cook Professor of Public Policy, African and African American Studies, and Economics and the director of the Samuel DuBois Cook Center on Social Equity at Duke University. His most recent book, coauthored with A. Kirsten Mullen, is 'From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the 21st Century.'

Greta Thunberg famously chided world leaders for pursuing “fairytales of eternal economic growth”. In this episode we learn how short-termism is baked into our current economic story, and why we need to change this narrative. Ella meets poet, podcaster, and economics student, GEORGE THE POET and together they visit “the belly of the beast” - The Bank Of England - and begin to reimagine a new economic storyline.  We then meet people all over the world, creating the new economic systems that work for the long-term future of all inhabitants of the planet. This is economics for people who feel like economics isn't for them!Special thanks to the contributors to this episode, George The Poet, Jason Hickel, Kate Raworth, Andy Haldane, Temuera Hall and Sandy Darity, as well as Immy Kaur, Eduard Müller, Jared Bybee and Fanny Brøholm.George the Poet's latest project Common Ground encourages interaction with his Peabody Award-winning podcast Have You Heard George's Podcast?Jason Hickel's fascinating work can be found HEREFind out more about Kate Raworth's Doughnut Economics in action HEREMore about Temuera Hall's work can be found HEREMore about William Sandy Darity's book From Here to Equality HEREWatch Greta Thunberg's full speech at the September 2019 UN Climate Action Summit HERE CREDITSThe Long Time Academy comes to you from Headspace Studios and The Long Time Project, and is produced by Scenery Studios.The series was created and produced by Lina Prestwood and Ella SaltmarsheProduced by Ivor Manley and Madeleine Finlay with research by Momoe Ikeda-ChelminskaExecutive producers at Headspace Studios are Ash Jones, Leah Sutherland & Morgan SelzerOriginal artwork by Mavi MoraisDesign by Loz Ives and Lewis Kay-Thatcher Original music, sound design and mixing by Tristan Cassel-Delavois, Scott Sorenson & Chris MurguiaClip of Greta Thunberg at the September 2019 UN Climate Action Summit courtesy of the United Nations 

During this show, we discuss the case for reparations for Black American descendants of the enslaved with William ("Sandy") Darity and A. Kirsten Mullen, authors of the award-winning book From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the Twenty-First Century.

Sam and Emma host Duke University Economist Sandy Darity to discuss his latest book, From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the Twenty-First Century on addressing the racial wealth gap in America. After covering the modern state of the stratification, they look into the origins of the racial wealth gap, stemming from the establishment of the union in 1776 and the federal policy that redistributed indigenous lands to white families as a part of the settler-colonial project. Then, Professor Sandy Darity walks through how U.S. policy promoting white wealth accumulation went from land acquisition to homeownership as we moved into the 20th century, how federal housing policies and the GI Bill saw the continuation of this stratification, and why these issues caused by federal policy must be solved with federal policy. They follow that up with a discussion on the failures of universal socialist policy in addressing the wealth divide, and why solutions such as direct cash are more effective than indirect attempts such as college investments, before touching on the nation's failure to “de-confederatize,” and why an educational project is a necessary part of the reparation program. The interview is rounded out by covering the theoretical divisiveness of reparations, whether or not it interferes with class-focused socialist projects, and they look into the slow but sure rise in reparation support among white Americans. Emma and Sam finish off the free half with the expansion of medicare that occurred during the pandemic, and look into Sinema's excuse that democracy means we shouldn't pass legislation. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma bask in the glory of Stephen Crowder's pitch-perfect performance in the H3 debate, surpassing even the crew's wildest dreams, and thank Crowder and his staff for the unwavering support of the MR program. Walking through the highlights, Sam and Emma touch on Crowder's “we don't know who you are” excuse (which he made sure to back up with research on who Sam is), Sam attempts to normalize podcast hosts wielding samurai swords, and the crew tries to comprehend Crowder's best blows, from to name dropping Noam Chomsky among conservatives that won't debate Sam to uhh calling Sam a woman. The fun half finishes with a fantastic call from Brandon from NC, certified Louder with Crowder Mugholder, covering why Crowder's fanbase would, indeed, like to see him debate Sam Seder, plus, your calls and IMs!

This week on the show we are joined by Dr Keston Perry. Keston is a lecturer in economics and political economy at University of West of England (UWE). We discuss in practical terms what reparations would mean, the historical racism embedded into Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal and how a Green New Deal must be designed in that context, as well as the reverberations of the Haitian Revolution and how taking a paternalistic approach to defeating climate change won't bring justice to those most effected by it.

Reparations: The Debt That Is Owed ::: Reparations Series Episode #1:  "The Debt That Is Owed": Reparations  & the Descendants of US Chattel Slavery      Guest:  Dr. William "Sandy" Darity, Jr. and A. Kirsten Mullen  Co-Authors, "From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the Twenty-First Century", A. Kirsten Mullen is a lecturer whose work focuses on race, art, history, and politics; Darity Jr. is an American economist and researcher. The wealth of the United States was for the most part greatly enhanced by the exploitation of African American slave labor: some argue it is the bedrock for the U.S. economy and capitalism. However, former slaves and their descendants are among the poorest demographic in America. Accordingly, reparations would be valuable primarily as a way of correcting modern economic imbalances. The call for reparations has intensified in 2020. More injustices and discrimination have continued since slavery was outlawed in the US. Black communities and civil rights organizations have called for reparations for those injustices as well as for reparations directly related to the US chattel slavery system.

Krystal and Saager In this episode, the Hill gets caught red-handed misinforming their audience on the value and merits of Affirmative Action. The video is called "Krystal Ball: Time To Admit Affirmative Action FAILED" from the Rising, starring Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti. The Reset Race Squad lays out the facts and clarifies the numbers that Ball and Enjeti get horrifically wrong. Please enjoy this dismantling with the family for Thanksgiving. No one should be subject to distortions of fact from what is ostensibly a left-leaning news source. We would really like to see a public apology and retraction of this information. However, integrity is hard to find in modern media outlets. The source of Sam's number is a study called "Running the Numbers on Closing the Racial Wealth Gap" by Dr. William "Sandy" Darity of Duke Univerity. Also, none of us are economists and we get decile, quintile, and percentile all messed up. The charts are in the video. Race Reset Podcast Welcome to the inaugural episode of the Reset Race Podcast. Reset Race is all about changing how we all view race in the United States. We unapologetically support reparations for the American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS) and part of that mission to pointing out when content creators on the American Left are wrong, right, and “it's complicated.” This is the team that is going to clarify these issues for you: Samantha Angelique- twitter.com/me17trillion; wwnsis.org Jon C- twitter.com/jondannyoc Mud- twitter.com/oflineage, bitterdosetv Michael ‘MG' Graham- twitter.com/racereset More info: https://wp.me/paRDyR-cBM --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/resetrace/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/resetrace/support

Published on 14 Jul 2020. With clarity and insight, economist and author William "Sandy" Darity discusses how the grievous injustice of slavery in the US led to the immense wealth gap that currently exists between Black and white Americans. He explains how reparations for descendants of enslaved people would work -- and why it's necessary that the US engage in this act of compensation and redemption to make progress towards true equality. (This virtual conversation, hosted by TED's current affairs curator Whitney Pennington Rodgers, was recorded June 30, 2020.)

Businesses are failing all around us...why isn't this making headlines? What about the American people? Do our [small economies] matter anymore? Dr. Connel "Connie" Fullenkamp, Director of Undergraduate Studies & Professor of Economics with Dr. William "Sandy" Darity, Professor of Public Policy at Duke University analyze the economic  status in late September, 2020. The global pandemic - the social justice movement - and businesses large and small going bankrupt nationally and world wide... Poverty looms for individuals & families every where. Will it mean an increase in conflict? Will our economic status and present state of political division lead to more civil violent conflict in the streets? What should individuals, families, small businesses and large businesses do? These questions are before us. Both guests agree - we need more forward thinking analysis of how to face these problems right now before the present economic spiral we are in intensifies beyond our ability to turn it back to stability.

Why are most Americans working 2-3 jobs and still struggling to survive, and most without benefits? Dr. William "Sandy" Darity of Duke University's Sanford School of Public Policy discusses (as a Professor of Economics) the meaning of "Employment" and measures today's measures of "Employment." He points out that the income inequality and wealth disparity in this country continues to widen and worsen.  Dr. Darity points out that a Federal Job Guarantee program would address this problem by guaranteeing quality jobs to individuals - which are defined by benefits and appropriate salaries. He clearly outlined that Blacks in American suffer two to three times as much as their white counterparts in terms of pay disparity and suffer from the worst wealth inequality. Dr. Darity pointed out many specifics of such a program that would address our increasing gap between the "have's" and "have nots."  I presented that as a professor of peace & conflict studies, the existence of poverty and as a result a difficulty to survive or thrive is the largest cause of conflict and terrorism.

William "Sandy" Darity, economist from Duke University, explains why America needs a federal job guarantee and not a universal basic income. The FJG will address inequality, build an inclusive, stable economy, and provide socially useful services, improving the quality of life for all communities.

The latest research on poverty indicates that a federal job guarantee is economically feasible. Such a guarantee could help address big American issues like crumbling infrastructure while at the same time ensuring workers aren't living in poverty. Kelly Brownell talks about the topic with William "Sandy" Darity, the director of the Samuel DuBois Cook Center on Social Equity at Duke University.

We're talking jobs this week on Flyover. Specifically, tax breaks and other government incentives given to private companies to bring jobs to your communities. Is that a good deal for you? Is this the way to a stronger economy? Our guests were Wisconsin Public Radio reporter Shawn Johnson; Matthew Mitchell, director of George Mason University's "Project for the Study of American Capitalism"; and William "Sandy" Darity, public policy professor at Duke University.

The concluding episode in our series, Seeing White. An exploration of solutions and responses to America’s deep history of white supremacy by host John Biewen, with Chenjerai Kumanyika, Robin DiAngelo, and William “Sandy” Darity, Jr.
