Companies and taxpayers pay MILLIONS to settle discrimination lawsuits.
Is America really so racist today?
No.
But we pay anyway because of a woke idea most have never heard of: Disparate Impact. Here’s more from John Stossel.
Why do college campus protestors shut down conservative speakers? Manhattan Institute’s Heather Mac Donald tells John Stossel that the “diversity bureaucracy” is to blame. Here’s the interview.
Data appears to debunk the left’s narrative that police brutality is a rampant problem in America that disproportionately victimizes blacks. Heather Mac Donald, Manhattan Institute fellow and author of The War On Cops, says that blacks make up a far greater percentage of violent crime suspects in the country and black victims comprise a disproportionate share of homicides and shooting victims.
“Blacks die of homicides at 13 percent the rate of whites when they’re between the ages of 10 and 43, according to the CDC,” McDonald says. “That’s a problem and that’s why cops are in minority neighborhoods.” The data clearly supports law enforcement. Mac Donald joins PragerU’s Will Witt to discuss the facts.

America’s campuses, particularly those in California, spend tens of millions of dollars on administrators and programs to combat issues like sexism, homophobia and racism on campus. But are these problems in any way prevalent at our universities? Or is this diversity bureaucracy a big waste of money? Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute explains.

A degree in liberal arts tradtionally offered a balanced curriculum featuring the great works of the Western artists–Shakespeare, Mozart, Eliot. Not anymore. Today’s same degree stresses Western racism, sexism, imperialism and other ills and sins that reinforce a sense of victimhood and narcissism. The Manhattan Institute’s Heather Mac Donald laments the shift, saying, “The modern professorate repudiated the great humanist tradition on which much of Western civilization and the Western university has been built.” So what happened? Mac Donald explains in this edition of PragerU.

Manhattan Institute political commentator and journalist Heather Mac Donald asks, “Are colleges across America rife with racism, sexism and homophobia?” The question is especially germane to California universities, which spend millions of dollars combating these issues. Mac Donald explains whether the problem is prevalent in our universities or whether the diversity bureaucracy is just a big waste of money in this edition of PragerU.
