"I would love it if New Jersey was the future."
Metzger always gives great interview, and he's got one of his most interesting subjects yet at this week's Dangerous Minds interview. Dr. Nell Irvin Painter is on, talking about her new book The History of White People . She talks about the different things that race and whiteness has meant over the centuries and in places around the world, imparts some fascinating information about Ralph Waldo Emerson and Thomas Jefferson that I'll bet you never would have guessed, and explains why she thinks Newark, New Jersey is a fantastically enlightened place. Watch it.
