GRITtv: Farai Chideya: America's Racial Crisis

Uploaded on Apr 19, 2010

Tea Party crowds held protests last week for tax day, but recent articles and polls have laid more blame for the anger at Obama at the feet of a deep-seated racial anxiety among certain sectors of Americans. "We have to embrace the fact that America is still going through a racial crisis," notes multimedia journalist and former NPR host Farai Chideya.

Farai joins us in studio to talk about the "battle for the soul of America," and why the problem for some people isn't just their economic situation--it's that situation in relation to that of others.
