Madang Podcast: Robert P. Jones, Ep. 32
About Madang:
Madang is the outdoor living room of the world. Here, we invite you to sit and tune into unreserved, remarkable conversations with renown authors, leaders, public figures and scholars on religion, culture and everything in-between.
This has been a dream of mine for many years and now it is a reality. Please join me at Madang Podcast hosted by the Christian Century.
This is the 32nd episode of Madang where I converse with Robert P. Jones on his book, The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy. Jones is is the president and founder of Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI). His writing on religion, culture, and politics has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, TIME, and Religion News Service. He is the author of White Too Long and The End of White Christian America. He writes a regular Substack newsletter at robertpjones.substack.com.
On this episode, Robert talks with me about The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy, Doctrine of Discovery, 1619 Project, 1920 lynching of three Black men, divine entitlement of European chosenness, racism and so much more.
“If you’re White and of European descent, there’s a lot of self-interest in ignoring history. It’s a way to pretend we deserve to keep all the stuff we got.” Robert P. Jones
