"Chair eric dot com. I have saved. Because honestly i'm kind of the point. Where like do i really do. Because it's the news. And i'm going to start with the phone call because it is in the news in fact there's a hearing going on right now on capitol hill about the military and and their discussions of critical theory. And i want to start with the phone call. So i am going to go to greg it about this very topic gregg. Welcome to the program. Thank you for taking my call. Sure go ahead. Your opinion on the lack. The lack of discussion that i believe. Well there's not enough discussion about the question is are. We raising a generation of white kids for a better term or kids of european descent from a very early age because of all the exposure to the media social media maybe school curriculums feel guilty and to have a sense of guilt from from young kids. All the way into adult as a father to kids. fourteen eight. I've had to answer questions from then that that i wouldn't think an eight year old should even know about up. They're hearing about it from their friends. Who are hearing about it. From who knows where about responsibility and white yield white privilege white fragility jill. The are we racing generation of white kids. That are going to have psychological problems arising from this kind of dialogue. Yes i actually think. We're going to greg and it's deeply problematic in the sooner all of us can get our kids at a government run schools. The better and a lot of people can't and it's unfortunate unless we can push this back now. There is a parental uprising around. The country happening over this very topic. I'm gonna play you some audio I it really amounts to background. Noise is in virginia in loudon county. Which is a progressive of the state or the parents are seething because the schools kept everything locked down with the schools came back and are preparing for this coming year. They've announced that they're going to brace critical theory and start teaching about systemic racism in the country name of equity by the way they've moved the goal posts again. We're no longer advancing equity in this country. It's gotta be justice in in. So here's the ocean. I wanna give you illustrative before. I get into this audio. So there was a cartoon that came out that was shared by kamla harris and elizabeth warren and several others on the differences between quality and equity. And the first one. I think it says a disparity. And what would it shows with disparity is. You've got kids watching baseball game behind defense and you've got the the white kid can see over the fence. The the hispanic kid can barely see. The black kid is a hole in so can't see at all and then there's equality and equality is The waikiki steelseries events. These events in the black you'd is out of the whole but can't see over the fence. Equity is the white kid sees over the fence. The hispanic kid has a little bit of a riser. So the same head levels the white kid and the and the Younger black kid on a box.

There's no wall so the kids are on the field playing the game And they're going to get killed by a flying baseball and the bible sue and make a lot of money. I guess but that that's other now frightening. Justice in the whole thing is nonsensical when you delve into it but is whether talking about now trigger exploit. Will there be psychological. Yeah i think there will. I mean we're already seeing this. Among progresses in the country. And i really do think it's all an intentional. Slow game to get to reparations. But i wanna play for you. Perish fighting back. This is the audio from the loudon county school district. Shame on you shame on you know. Why are they chanting. Shame on you because the loudon county school district in loudon county virginia decided to have a public period of conversation and parents showed up to tell them that they should reject teaching critical theories. They'd already voted to do it. They didn't announce they were going to vote on that and they did it. And so now they're allowing the parents come in and after they voted in the parents showed up and started talking about critical theory and so they shut down the public period of comment. They voted to close the comment period. And then when several parents refused to leave intending to have their say they had them arrested. That's the way it now. What what's really authoritarian. I i mean. I thought it was only donald trump only. Donald trump was authoritarian. Actually no no no. it's it's not just donald trump apparently if at all the left or the ones arresting parents for showing up at their school board that their tax payers pay for demanding that they stop talking about or teaching critical theory in schools. Now this does i think. Get us to We're we're headed. I would play for you. This william charity is a civil rights activists and this speaks for itself. I don't even need to comment on it. You listen black. Americans particularly those who have ancestors who were enslaved in the united states constitute about twelve percent of the nation's population but possess less than two percent of the nation's wealth. This leads us into what we think. Is the appropriate target for a reparations project which is to bring the black share of wealth into consistency with the black share of the population. And we estimate that this would require an expenditure somewhere in the vicinity of eleven.

"Larry this economists who attended brown university undergraduate the same year idea his name william dairy and he's assessing how much money america is going to have to pay in terms of reparations number fourteen please black-americans particularly those who have ancestors who were enslaved in the united states constitute about twelve percent of the nation's population but possess less than two percent of the nation's wealth. This leads us into what we think. Is the appropriate target for a reparations project which is to ring the black share of wealth into consistency with the black share of the population. And we estimate that this would require an expenditure somewhere in the vicinity of eleven to twelve trillion dollars. Levin twelve trillion dollars a trillion dollars is a thousand billion dollars. This is twelve thousand billion dollars in order to bring people up where they should be and who's responsible for paying all of this as my colleague. Michael medved points out only about five percent of white. People have any sort of generational connection. Slavery either came here after slavery was over or fought on the union side or if they weren't from the south didn't own any slaves as a majority of southerners did not because they share of wealth into consistency with the black share of the population. And we estimate that this would require expenditure somewhere in the vicinity of eleven to twelve trillion dollars. Good luck good luck. Extracting that people had nothing whatever to do with whatever plight you believe is what caused the lack of wealth in the black community people right now. What are they doing slavery.

"Three percent of of of of white wealth is held by households at the median or below for whiteout souls But it's not just because of these extremely rich billionaires a handful of them Although there are a handful of extremely rich billionaires but Twenty five percent of white house all seven net worth in excess of one million dollars. And it's only four percent of black households so if we were to ignore the wealth that was held above the white median we would be taking the vast majority of of wealth off the table for consideration and and how much of a home ownership is central to understanding the concentration of wealth as well. I mean that would be in terms of asset accumulation. Probably one of the the largest factors that drives this this dynamic for a and how it continues so it certainly very important for households are closer to the middle of the distribution. But when we start talking about how cells that in the upper thirty to twenty five percent of the wealth distribution than the share of their assets attributable to a primary becomes considerably smaller. And if we were to look at the average across all households A primary residence constitutes maybe about twenty five percent of the assets that That households so the remainder is retirement accounts business ownership stocks and bonds and non residential real estate. Also which is very very important. I still. I'm just trying to do to work my way around the mean where ninety seven of the wealth is held outside of that mean is above the media above the median. Okay and And yet and yet we should use the mean as the as as the mechanism is that it to determine the actual disparity. Yes so another way to think about. It is a black american. Descendants of persons. Enslaved in the united states are about twelve percent of the nation's population but possess less than two percent of the nation's well so we sat as a target bringing the black sheriff wealth the consistency with the black share of the population. It would require us to simultaneously.

I do think my personal opinion is anyone you know has a public facing occupation or a role that comes in contact with other individuals with there should be a mandate to get vaccinated. Nobody has a right to spread a deadly highly infectious disease to other people. We still have a large population.

We're looking individuals that are not vaccinated are at higher risk of getting infection of succumbing to disease requiring hospitalization. So we need to make sure that we're looking at it from that lens. And so we want to do a much much better job here domestically and around the world to get more people needed and this also includes i think when we look at the global equitable sharing of covid nineteen vaccine the. Us only is not absent from it. In fact the us is one of the leading countries that is supporting acropole vaccine distribution. And you seem the another. The president biden's recent announcement of providing tens of millions of pfizer vaccines to many different countries. And so it's time that other countries also step up because the world health organization has mentioned that we need about eleven billion vaccines to backseat about seventy percent of the population around the world. And only as of today we've only administered over two billion and so we need to make sure that we're in a phase of this pandemic where we look at now. These vaccines made available. These saving preventative vaccines. They need to go into arms of people around the world if we are to truly end this pandemic for everybody before we go to the rest of the world.

How you believe you came down with it. I think no one. Is you know when we talk about the virus. It's good and anybody could even get infected and even when you are applying these preventative measures. These risk reduction measures. There's still a chance of getting infected if there's a slip up here in my own household early on last year it was hard to see who brought the virus into our home. Many of us have occupations where we're in hospitals where we're interacting with many different people in our home health aid that we have four of that care for a family member that requires assistance around the clock. They were living in some of the hardest hit areas that were experiencing very high volumes of infection of covid nineteen so back in april. We started to have all of us come down with with this disease. And it was probably one of the most frightening experiences of my life and i wanted to multiple different infectious disease outbreaks from ebola to seek to musil's too many others and so this has been a certainly one of the experiences where it involved my family my children and so when we look at the early days and how i responded to it at home it was very similar to how i was looking at it. From a hospital standpoint i was standing protocols and processes to ensure that we're limiting transmission to one another this includes opening windows and having less people in the kitchen or areas where we're congregating more but it was definitely a challenge and somebody like myself who's knowledgeable.

Aides were eligible starting january and as of today we have two that are fully vaccinated in two. That are one that made an appointment and one. That's completely on the fence. And so these conversations that have them on an ongoing basis and so when. I talked about the vaccine.

Took place there That i think is extremely oppressive. And it's the Most important dimension of of his visit to tulsa yesterday on the other hand. I extremely skeptical about the consequences of the types of proposals that he brought forward For actually addressing the enormous racial wealth gap that exists in the united states today We need something much more. Potent and much more substantial than the array of policies that he mentioned yesterday and professor diary. Could you explain why why you need something. More substantial is or why something more substantial is needed and how do the president's proposals especially in terms of addressing inequities in home appraisals contracting or eliminating trump era housing rules. Why that's not sufficient. Well let me start by saying that. We need to be aware of how large the gap is wealth between blacks and whites in the united states. The average black household has network. That is eight hundred forty thousand dollars less than the average white household a corresponding fact. That's associated with. This condition is the is the black population of the united states. That is descended from persons. Who were enslaved. Here is about twelve percent of the nation's overall population but that's a community that possesses less than two percent of the nation's wealth. And so if we were going to bring the share of black wealth into consistency with the share of the black population it would require an expenditure of at least eleven trillion dollars and so as a consequence when we think about any set of policies or any individual policy that is alleged to close the racial wealth gap. We've got to ask whether or not it's going to bring us any way close towards eliminating an eleven trillion dollar deficit. And i'd like to argue that. What the president proposed yesterday will do very little in terms of getting us there. Let me talk specifically about the home ownership emphasis of of the policies that he proposed. And i i certainly am Highly enthusiastic about the idea of eliminating discrimination in home appraisals but homeownership in and of itself is not something that can be augmented sufficiently to erase the racial wealth difference. I think we have a tendency to overestimate the significance of home ownership alone. As a component of an individual's total array of assets. If we look at the average americans portfolio we find that home ownership specifically ownership in a primary residence is about twenty five percent of all of the assets that an individual might possess the other seventy five percent includes business ownership retirement accounts financial assets like stocks and bonds and non residential real estate so if we focus exclusively on home ownership ownership in a primary residence. We're going to be ignoring these other components of the asset package It's also interesting. To note that white non homeowners non homeowners have thirty one times. The median wealth of black non homeowners so home ownership is not the whole the whole the whole package of things And so as a consequence. I think we need to have a much wider focus on the full array of assets that people can potentially possess and i recommend that the way in which we closed the racial wealth gap is by literally closing the racial wealth gap by providing black american descendants of us slavery with a level of funds that's adequate to eliminate the racial wealth gap and to let them make a decision about how to spend those funds in terms of the array of assets that they would like to possess. I wanted to ask you terms of reparations of clearly a decade or two decades ago that was considered a pipe dream. Because you talk about the increasing support among a white americans for reparations and also you you mentioned now a couple of times those. Those african americans descended from slavery. Clearly there's a significant proportion of the black population of the us. That is has immigrant origins. Whether that's from jamaica barbados. Nigeria ethiopia sudan and panama and so forth. So your view of reparations with specifically deal only with black americans descended from slavery is correct. I think the term only is a bit misleading and so far as approximately ten percent of the current black population in the united states is from families of recent immigration Ninety percent of the black american population consists of individuals who have an ancestor at least one ancestor. Who was enslaved in the united states and so that ninety percent corresponds to approximately forty million people So it's it's not an only But indeed the position that i take is that a reparations plan for african americans should be specific to those individuals who have ancestors who were enslaved united states. Because it's that community that has experienced the cumulative intergenerational effects of federal policies that have built white wealth to the detriment of black wealth in the book You mentioned that. Kirsten mullen and i wrote from here to equality We actually talk about various phases in american history in which the federal government either or passively supported white wealth accumulation while it denied black americans. The opportunity to accumulate wealth. One of these is what we refer to as the wagon train period which is the period of homestudy which occurs Could terminus with the civil war. In the end of the civil war That's the period. In which black americans who had been formerly enslaved were promised forty acre land grants as restitution for their years of bondage and that promise was never met but at the same time the federal government was providing one hundred sixty acre land grant to upwards of one and a half million white families in the western territories as the country completed its colonial settlers project and that allocation of land has ramifications for the wealth differential that we today The scholar trina williams shanks has estimated that there are forty five million living white americans who were beneficiaries of the homestead ax.

And i i certainly am Highly enthusiastic about the idea of eliminating discrimination in home appraisals but homeownership in and of itself is not something that can be augmented sufficiently to erase the racial wealth difference. I think we have a tendency to overestimate the significance of home ownership alone. As a component of an individual's total array of assets. If we look at the average americans portfolio we find that home ownership specifically ownership in a primary residence is about twenty five percent of all of the assets that an individual might possess the other seventy five percent includes business ownership retirement accounts financial assets like stocks and bonds and non residential real estate so if we focus exclusively on home ownership ownership in a primary residence. We're going to be ignoring these other components of the asset package It's also interesting. To note that white non homeowners non homeowners have thirty one times. The median wealth of black non homeowners so home ownership is not the whole the whole the whole package of things And so as a consequence. I think we need to have a much wider focus on the full array of assets that people can potentially possess and i recommend that the way in which we closed the racial wealth gap is by literally closing the racial wealth gap by providing black american descendants of us slavery with a level of funds that's adequate to eliminate the racial wealth gap and to let them make a decision about how to spend those funds in terms of the array of assets that they would like to possess. I wanted to ask you in terms of reparations of clearly a decade or two decades ago that was considered a pipe dream. Because you talk about the increasing support among a white americans four reparations and also you you mentioned now a couple of times those. Those african americans descended from slavery. Clearly there's a significant proportion of the black population of the us. That is has immigrant origins. Whether that's from jamaica barbados. Nigeria ethiopia sudan and panama and so forth. So your view of reparations with specifically deal only with black americans descended from slavery is correct. I think the term only is a bit misleading and so far as approximately ten percent of the current black population in the united states is from families of recent immigration Ninety percent of the black american population consists of individuals who have an ancestor at least one ancestor. Who was enslaved in the united states and so that ninety percent corresponds to approximately forty million people So it's it's not an only But indeed the position that i take is that a reparations plan for african americans should be specific to those individuals who have ancestors who were enslaved in the united states. Because it's that community that has experienced the cumulative intergenerational effects of federal policies that have built white wealth to the detriment of black wealth in the book You mentioned that. Kirsten mullen and i wrote from here to equality We actually talk about various phases in american history in which the federal government either actively or passively supported white wealth accumulation while it denied black americans. The opportunity to accumulate wealth. One of these is what we refer to as the wagon train period which is the period of homestudy which occurs Could terminus with the civil war. In the end of the civil war That's the period. In which black americans who had been formerly enslaved were promised forty acre land grants as restitution for their years of bondage and that promise was never met but at the same time the federal government was providing one hundred sixty acre land grant to upwards of one and a half million white families in the western territories as the country completed its colonial settlers project and that allocation of land has ramifications for the wealth differential that we today The scholar trina williams shanks has estimated that there are forty five million living white americans who were beneficiaries of the homestead ax. So that's the beginning of the racial wealth gap and it concerns of federal policy that provided essentially land handouts to white americans while black americans who had been enslaved for multiple generations received absolutely nothing during a news briefing tuesday aboard air force one white house. Deputy press secretary crane. Jean-pierre was asked. If president biden supports reparations for the families of the victims.

This isn't the first time. And it certainly won't be last time that you and i reflect on the absurdity of this. European union listing of so-called non-cooperative jurisdictions. Of course we call non-cooperative jurisdictions tax havens. But they don't like that term now. The european union list published in february two thousand twenty one includes twelve jurisdictions almost all small islands most of them located in the caribbean the pacific or the indian ocean this list which is prepared by the code of conduct group on business taxation. They do this work. On behalf of the european council that begs interesting question. Why isn't the united states of america listed. It has a massive offshore financial services sector. The us is ranked number twenty five on the tax justice network corporate taxation index and the. Us still hasn't signed up to the global common reporting standard for tax information exchange and yet somehow it avoids being listed by the european union. So i think the recognized. The listing process is ridiculous if we look at the twelve jurisdictions listed in february twenty twenty one it includes places like samoa fiji dominica and guam now these twelve jurisdictions between them are responsible for less than two percent of the global corporate tax abuse will risk and what makes the european union listing all the more outrageous. Is if you tally up. The global corporate tax abuse risks arising from european union member states that is ireland luxembourg the netherlands. So on you can see. They are responsible between them for eight. Percents of that global risk identified by the tax justice network corporate tax haven index politically. I think this is very damaging to the european union and it sends a really strong signal to the rest of the world that the european union is quite prepared to turn a blind eye to corrupt financial practices and the ways in which powerful corporations harm local economies and harm democracy. Yes indeed just at. The united states is number two in the financial secrecy index. So yeah they've got a lot of work to and Yeah i mean. The european union need look no further. Really you asked me we. We've got already financial secrecy index. I'm big corporate taxation index which thoroughly a non-politically looks at the evidence and the sexes countries. I mean You know the work is all. They're often to use if they are serious. Well let's hope that.

The findings support the strategy that some countries have employed of spacing out vaccine doses to get more people. Rapidly inoculated also contradictory.
