About this episode
For many Americans, Donald Trump’s incendiary tweets aimed at immigrants show him to be a racist and white nationalist.

Stephen Sackur interviews prize-winning writer on race and founder of the Anti-Racist Research Centre in Washington, Ibram Kendi. He says the roots of racism run deep and an honest assessment of their strength has barely begun. Can the US ever fix a problem so intimately bound up with its past? (Photo: Ibram X Kendi.
