Bob Woodson on the Myth of Institutional Racism
Civil rights veteran Bob Woodson argued on the American Thought Leaders podcast that the term "institutional racism" is used by black elected officials to avoid accountability for failing systems in their own cities. Woodson posits that if racism were the primary culprit, students wouldn't be failing in schools run and financed by black professionals. He suggests the term is an abstract distraction from the actual performance of local governments.
