Topic: Creationism

A clip featuring New Yorker writer Adam Gopnik explores the tension between Darwin's historical vocabulary and modern scientific standards. Gopnik notes that evolutionary biologists often attempt to distance the science of Darwinism from Darwin’s personal views on race to avoid "cancel culture." The segment also touches on the coining of the term Darwinism by Thomas Huxley and the ideological battles between the religious right and the "woke" left regarding Darwin's legacy.

The segment concludes the Richard Rothstein clips, emphasizing that segregation was a legal creation (de jure) rather than an accidental occurrence (de facto). Rothstein argues that the deterioration of Black neighborhoods was a result of denied services and overcrowding caused by government policy. This created a false image of Black Americans as "slum dwellers" in the eyes of the white public.
