Today's episode is a recording of a debate that occurred a few weeks ago between me and Jamelle Bouie, who is a columnist for the New York Times. This debate was hosted by TED as well as Open to Debate, formerly known as Intelligence Squared. The motion was, "Does Color-Blindness Perpetuate Racism?" Jamelle took the affirmative and I took the negative.

Now there's a long backstory to this debate surrounding my recent TED Talk on color blindness and and I go into the details of this in the intro to the episode.

I really recommend that you listen to the whole debate and do share your thoughts in the comments.
