China's leader, 50th anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King

50th anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King. According to the Brookings Institute, in 1940 60% of employed black women worked as domestic servants. Today the number is down to 2.2%, while 60% hold white collar jobs. In 1958 44% of whites said they would move if blacks became their next door neighbor. Today the figure is 1%. In 1964, the year the Civil Rights Act was passed, only 18% of whites claimed to have a black friend. Today that figure is 86%. 87% of blacks assert they have white friends. 75% of black married couples own their own homes. Andrew believes there is not one thing that will stop a young Millennial from succeeding in today's society because of racism. Racism is a moral philosophy that there is a moral quality difference between different races. Culture is the key (solid teaching, lowering the incidences of single-parent families, stopping drug abuse).

Ying Ma is Andrew's guest. She is the author of Chinese Girl in the Ghetto. Her view of the authoritarian Chinese leader is that he is interested in making China more powerful, more rich, more modern, but not more free! Andrew notes that leftists like Thomas Friedman admire the totalitarian leaders who modernize their countries. Ma replies that China is certainly not a market economy. There are vast sections still controlled by the state.
