Today we're joined by Heather Mac Donald, author of \u201cWhen Race Trumps Merit: How the Pursuit of Equity Sacrifices Excellence, Destroys Beauty, and Threatens Lives." First, we're covering the Chicago "Teen Takeover," which saw hundreds of teens in the streets of Chicago causing chaos, smashing car windows, firing guns, and attacking bystanders. Chicago's mayor-elect argues for defunding the police and said we shouldn't demonize these young people. We explain why this leads to demonizing cops instead and preventing them from keeping order in these cities. We talk about how it is social breakdown that leads young people to feel no hesitation about going out and shooting people and why the lack of parental control is the biggest problem. We compare two nearly identical stories of young people shot outside strangers' homes and the media response. One victim was white and one is black, but race is only brought up when it comes to the black victim. We explain why racial double standards are lethal and why, while this conversation is uncomfortable, it's necessary.\n\n---\n\nTimecodes:\n\n(01:33) Introduction\n(03:56) Chicago "teen takeover"\n(11:26) Guns\n(15:50) Comparing two stories of shootings & media response\n(20:50) Intraracial crime\n(23:40) History vs. now\n(26:03) "When Race Trumps Merit"\n(30:46) Racial double standards are lethal\n(40:40) What can we do?\n(45:15) Uncomfortable but necessary conversations\n\n---\n\nToday's Sponsors:\n\nBirch Gold \u2014 protect your future with gold.
