Show Notes

Today we chat with Aaron Pomerantz, a bright young social psychology graduate student at Oklahoma University. He wrote a very good article discussing the idealogical language divide in our current political climate and the origins of "symbolic racism". It's all too common today that when one disagrees with a policy, they immediately use the ubiquitous "R" word. That is a shortcut to intellect and we chat all about it.

Aaron's articles are found at www.FEE.org and are linked to below.
