so i've a good news about the state of race relations in America 18
week understand that the this country
is not quite there yet in terms of our race relations
now wise a good news it's because he knowledge a problem you understand the
problem evening
we go on your way to fixing is actually one who that doesn't understand the
problem the
going first to be the context and then tell you that group it's
so first of all by 2043 the non-hispanic whites will become a minority of our
populations there already majority of course today
how n already the among the new kids that are born
though non-hispanic whites or a minority
by 2043 for in the if you look at the entire population
whites will be a minority so him back to break down
according to estimates by 2050 will be non-hispanic whites 47 percent Hispanics
28 percent african-americans thirteen-percent
Asian 7 percent and multiracial individuals 4 percent surprise that
numbers that low
my guess is that I would actually be higher by that time
because I suspected given these numbers
will be a lot more a multi-racial couples going
in the future more so than the tradition 3 indicates today
so now when people were asked today though
well look even though we're headed to that situation
out do you still believe that minorities are at a disadvantage in we should do
something about it
and the results were fascinating this was a no
report that was on for the Center for American Progress and Policy link it was
a massive
study and they say new steps this was a question new steps to reduce racial and
ethnic inequality in America
through investments in areas like education job training infrastructure
improvement do you want to do that
seventy-one percent of Americans say that they agree with that
thing about the day recognize but there are racial and ethnic inequalities in
america
and a way to fix that is to invest 71 percent not a small number
you know the idiots in washington teaching is a center-right country
really
if seventy-one percent of Americans say yes there is racial inequalities
and yes we should spend money to address that you really think it's a
center-right country adding the center-left country
and decidedly so in fact if you look at White's
who theoretically should be against us or what you're going to spend money to
help minorities
now if you think like a right-winger you out for yourself and you think I don't
care about our community our care about other is a
so look out for my own you think the whites would be against as well they're
not
actually sixty-three percent of All Whites support this as well
they want to spend money to make sure that we get rid of racial
an ethnic inequality there's only one group
that oppose conservative whites
and they're not even that large percentage in this case
its 51 percent a white conservatives oppose the idea of spending money
to address racial and ethnic inequalities there though
only remaining standouts saying no
either there is no problem with race in a quality or even if there is I don't
give a damn
and only you to spend any money a so
i think thats enormously encouraging that means they are losing
that number is hittin smaller smaller every day and
all-americans including white americans are saying in aggregate
yes there is an issue and yes the government should do something to fix it
are you disagree about
what it is that the government should do to fix it and I think that's so were the
debate
but they realize is a problem and the someone needs to address it
finally I found one other thing encouraging here it's that
when they ask for much tougher question and that was
are you willing to invest significantly more public funds to help close the gap
in college graduation rates between black and Latino students and white
students
sixty-one percent of Americans said yes
61 percent on a small number either I think comfortable when you win an
election with 61 percent
as amended as a blowout rate 61 percent saying we should spend
significantly more resources to make sure
we get equality of opportunity nation between the different races
america's on the right path yes there are some
leftover conservatives that are still fighting the bad fight
but they're gonna lose there in the middle losing right now
