episode 88: #88. The End of Race Politics: Arguments for a Colorblind America
Coleman Hughes is a writer, podcaster, and musician, focusing on race, public policy, and applied ethics. At the age of 28, he is already becoming a well-known commentator and critic on issues related to race-based policies. He was a fellow at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research and a fellow and contributing editor at their City Journal. He is also the host of the podcast, Conversations with Coleman. In 2019, he testified before a U.S. House Judiciary subcommittee at a hearing on reparations for slavery, arguing against the campaign. In 2023, he delivered a talk at the annual TED conference, in Vancouver, Canada, advocating a societal goal of color blindness, i.e., treating people without regard to race, both personally and in public policy. Internal opposition from TED prevented the internet posting of this talk, which was eventually released after Hughes agreed to its being paired with a debate between him and New York Times columnist James Bouie. In addition to writing columns for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and other publications, Hughes is the author of the recently published book, The End of Race Politics: Arguments for a Colorblind America, which is the subject of today’s interview.
