Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Are mechanisms to promote and support minorities helping those who really need it, or are they doing more to fuel racial tension than anything else? In a tough economic environment, some are questioning whether these programs might be counterproductive. Our regular guest Howard Ross joins us to explore bias and so-called “white privilege” in today’s workplace.
Guests
- Howard Ross Diversity consultant; Principal, Cook Ross
- Richard Thompson Ford Professor of Law, Stanford Law School; author "The Race Card: How Bluffing About Bias Makes Race Relations Worse" (Farrar, Straus and Giroux)
