Joe Feagin
is the guest on this week's episode of The Chauncey DeVega
Show. This is part two of our conversation which began on
last week's very special 200th show.
He is a distinguished professor of sociology at Texas A&M
University and one of the leading scholars of race and social
inequality in the world. Professor Feagin has written dozens of
books including The White Racial Frame:Centuries of Racial
Framing and Counter-Framing, Racist
America, and How Blacks Built America.
Professor Feagin and Chauncey discuss "liberal racism", the
so-called "browning of America", how the language developed by
social scientists and others to describe racism and white supremacy
is inadequate, and white racial logic and social change. Professor
Feagin also shares his hopes and fears about America's future and
the long view of the country's history. Chauncey also shares a
story--that is more proof--of how white supremacists have infested
Trump's White House.
In this week's special part 2 of the 200th episode of The
Chauncey DeVega Show, Mama DeVega makes her triumphant return.
She is angry at the local Chinese restaurant, is combating Trump
fiends at the gym, and explains that she wouldn't be nice to white
bigots with the hope of changing their minds about racism like
Daryl Davis does. Mama DeVega also shares a story about seeing the
great late Aretha Franklin in concert.
And at the end of this week's show Chauncey explains the real
reason that Trump is stripping his enemies of their security
clearances, calls out ICE thugs who waylay pregnant women and their
partners, and has a good time discussing how a white man in Florida
was caught on video complaining that the police were "treating him
like a black man".
In honor of the 200th episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show, Chauncey also shares one of his favorite things as an "Easter egg" at the end of this week's podcast.
