Connections: The Difference Between Personal and Systemic Rascism

Henrietta supervisor Jack Moore insists he's not a racist, and he's not resigning. His comments, captured on video and reported by 13WHAM News, include referring to African Americans as "city cousins." His own party leaders are asking him to step aside. We'll talk about his comments, and the larger questions centering around racism. What is the difference between personal racism and systemic racism? We discuss with our guests:

  • Verdis Robinson, professor of history and African American studies at MCC
  • Simeon Bannister, Henrietta town Democratic leader
  • Dave Andreatta, Democrat & Chronicle
