Jemele Hill: US does not deserve a white supremacist president

Richelle Carey discusses the intersection of racism, politics and sports with journalist Jemele Hill.

US President Donald Trump’s failure to condemn white supremacy during the first presidential debate triggered renewed focus on his racist rhetoric.

In this season’s first episode of UpFront, we discuss Trump’s racism with journalist Jemele Hill, who faced a backlash for calling the president a white supremacist back in 2017 and was not long after suspended from the US sports network ESPN.

And in the Arena, we debate whether an administration led by Democratic challenger Joe Biden in Washington would make any difference in US policy towards the Palestinians.
