Dr. Frances Cress Welsing explains the concept of "benign neglect," a term associated with the Reagan administration's approach to racial issues. The hosts apply this to medicine, arguing that ignoring a problem like racism or cancer allows the system to maintain its strength while victims suffer.
The hosts compare Biden's rhetoric to Barack Obama's 2012 comments on Trayvon Martin. While Obama was careful to mention the ongoing investigation, his statement that "if I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon" is cited as a pivotal moment in the executive branch weighing in on local criminal cases. Mo notes the lack of emotional response from Obama compared to his reaction to the Sandy Hook shooting.
