Director of Antiracism Research and Policy Center US - Ibram Kendi
Can the US ever fix its problem with race? And are we exaggerating the importance of Donald Trump's contribution to it?
For many Americans, Donald Trump鈥檚 incendiary tweets aimed at immigrants show him to be a racist and white nationalist. But maybe we exaggerate the importance of Donald Trump鈥檚 contribution to America鈥檚 problem with race? Stephen Sackur interviews prize-winning writer on race and founder of the Anti-Racist Research Centre in Washington, Ibram Kendi. He says the roots of racism run deep and an honest assessment of their strength has barely begun. Can the US ever fix a problem so intimately bound up with its past?
