Race As A Social Construct

Filed under: Events, Media, Islam — webmaster @ 11:06 pm

As a part of Dr. Jackson’s two-day stay in New York at NYU he partook in a panel discusion on race. Here’s a collection of Google videos that give an account of pertinent words. To quote Dr. Jackson,

“My view is that race is a social construct, but my view is also…, so what?!“

Links here and here. Enjoy.

Update

Due to learning that the complete videos for Dr. Jackson’s lecture was not uploaded in its entirety, it has been retracted here as well as on other sites. As per Dr. Jackson’s request, we would as that anyone who has uploaded the videos, remove them. You can see the reason for his request here.
