Is Nikki Haley delusional? Did she really say America has never been racist? Well, in this thought-provoking episode of "The Political Education For Freedom" podcast entitled "America in Racist: Unmasking the Legacy of Exclusion," host Nitra takes listeners deep within the often unspoken chapters of American history. The episode is part of a journey into the past as it reveals the origins and consequences of the systemic racism buried deep in policies and practices within the nation.

From the Militia Act of 1792, whose provisions explicitly exempted anyone but “free able-bodied white male citizens” from military service, to the segregationist policies of the 20th century, Nitra shows how racial exclusion and discrimination have been sewn into the very fabric of American society. The episode puts a lot of historical context behind these policies, showing how easily they were not oversights, but actually things set up that way to move the country forward.


The episode also grapples with the thorny legacy of American presidents and elected officials ranging from Thomas Jefferson to Woodrow Wilson, whose policies and statements were reflective of their times' racial prejudices. Nitra never flinches from hard truths as even how some reputed leaders contributed towards the perpetuation of race inequality is explored.

"America in Racist" is more than the expository piece of history but an exploration into the emotional and human awakenings brought about by racism in America. It's a call towards acknowledgment of, and understanding of that painful part of the nation's history, learn from it, and with these knowledge at heart forge a way toward a more inclusive and equitable future.

Come along with Nitra in this enlightening episode as she peels back the layers of America's racist past and invites us all to reflect, feel empathy, and join the ongoing conversation about race, history, and justice.
