Racism with Dr. Frances Cress Welsing on Evening Exchange Interview (1992)

The reaction to the acquittal of police officers involved in the Rodney King trial has put the topic of racism back in the spotlight nationally, and this episode explores what racism is. The discussion cites the difference between overt racism witnessed in the 1950s and 1960s and the subversive racism in American systems and institutions in practice currently (1990s). Frances Welsing defines racism as a global behavioral system as expressed by persons who classify themselves as a dominant group who subjugate another group based on certain physical or other culturally-specifics.
