If possible, it was worse than I expected it to be. Fareed Zakaria's FIRST question was, “Why are there SO MANY crimes committed by white supremacists?” He then listed Charlottesville, New Zealand, Dylan Roof, the 2017 shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas. Not many.
Compare those four examples to the hundreds (if not thousands) of examples of black-on-white crime reported here over the years.
How seriously can you take a program whose premise is convoluted at the very beginning? Not very seriously—but it gets wackier.
Jared Taylor, the “white supremacist,” who was advertised as a major part of this investigation, received three minutes’ time to talk—tops. That was for the sole purpose of Zakaria refuting everything Taylor would say with “science.”
Zakaria brought the audience quick sound bites from experts (those who agree with Zakaria) that there is no genetic difference between blacks and whites. One prof said, “The reason for differences in color is the exposure of the various racial groups to the sun. Color is no indicator of a racial group’s intelligence.”
How about their SAT scores? (Avoided.)
Zakaria tried to convince us (through the “experts”) that white people are wrong and unduly fearful about blacks, mainly because, “there’s no such thing as white people, anyways.”
Taylor was allowed on air to give the oft heard numbers of the IQ differences of the races, which Zakaria didn't argue with too strenuously, but continued the “all people are one race” theme throughout.
On top of it all, it was boring and condescending to the group of people he continually said doesn't exist—whites.
Don't waste your time if it ever shows up again.

There are considerable differences between the races. And race is real. White men get bladder cancer at a rate three times that of negroes. Blacks get prostate cancer at a rate twice that of whites. And none of that is because of a lack of medical care or other.
