This week, we get some help clarifying our thoughts on race and civil rights from Hubert Humphrey, specifically from his speech to the 1948 Democratic National Convention.
Is there a problem with race in the US? Maybe you don’t see a problem, but does that mean it doesn’t exist? What do we have to lose by listening to each other?
If you have any questions or comments, leave them on the episode page, send us a message on Twitter, or send us an e-mail.

This is the “lost episode” of The Monarchist. Recorded in the past few weeks, Phil got a little crazy, so this episode had to be edited for excessive anger, intensity, and insanity. As it stands now, this is a fairly even discussion of affirmative action, questioning the purpose behind the policy. We hope you find it interesting. Maybe motivating.
