On CNN NewsNight, The Atlantic’s Jemele Hill argues that capitalism is oppressive and bound up in white supremacy.

Kmele Foster: “It's one thing to not think capitalism isn't working ideally. It's another thing entirely to insist that it is oppressive, that it is bound up with white supremacy.

Hill: “How is it not?”

Foster: “I've always preferred Adam Smith's description of capitalism as the natural system of liberty. The idea that people can own property, that they can exchange it freely with one another for profit, that they can find ways to put their resources to good use and profit in a way that is actually beneficial to everyone else, that there can be gains from trade that are mutually beneficial. These are foundational ideas that have created more wealth than any other system in human history. That is what capitalism is! That is not white supremacy.”

Hill: “Do you think capitalism has always worked that way?”

Foster: “I've actually just described the basic facts of the economics.”

Hill: “That ain't how it's always worked.”

Foster: “Slavery is an institution that is older than writing. It predates capitalism. The notion that white supremacy and all these other things are bound up with capitalism in an intrinsic and fundamental way is so absurd and laughable, it barely needs to be defended.”

Hill: “How was it absurd?”

Foster: “It barely needs to be defended.”

Hill: “What do you mean it barely needs to be defended?”

Foster: “You actually have to articulate what the connections is. How are these two things the same? I'm talking about private property, the right to exchange and sell with whomever you like. What does that have to do with white supremacy? … What is the white supremacy dynamic of private property?“

@JStreble82 So good

[Brad @FCKYPeav]

@JStreble82 Short answer. No.

[Brad @FCKYPeav]

@DrewFranklinKSR Do it. 36 inch blackstone is a game changer.

[Brad @FCKYPeav]

@StevenPeakeKSR 😂

[Brad @FCKYPeav]

@DenimBlueCats @KySportsRadio 😂

[Brad @FCKYPeav]

@DenimBlueCats @KySportsRadio Sure.

[Brad @FCKYPeav]

@JStreble82 It’s harmless. I have two teenage girls that would do the exact same thing.

[Brad @FCKYPeav]

@JStreble82 @CL1c4 He is. At times arrogant and lacks real sorts knowledge imo. There’s room for the both of ya. Haha.

[Brad @FCKYPeav]

@JStreble82 @CL1c4 Got ya. I think you both do a good job. Keep doing what you’re doing.

[Brad @FCKYPeav]

@KySportsRadio @KyleTuckerCBB You need to get him on more. That was great stuff.

[Brad @FCKYPeav]

@JStreble82 🤣🤣

[Brad @FCKYPeav]

@TheOnlySweeney He will absolutely not get a 4th year if he can’t show that he can put an elite team together in year 3. A new AD will want to make a splash. May winning it in year 2 at Michigan only increases the pressure.

@KySportsRadio If it weren’t for club volleyball tournaments, there would be nobody visiting downtown St. Louis.

@JStreble82 Almost seems like uk is innovative when it comes to NIL.

[Brad @FCKYPeav]

@JStreble82 hard to have any angst over losing assistant coaches from a staff that can’t close. If they leave and we still don’t get the right recruits, then Pope is clearly the problem.

[Brad @FCKYPeav]

@KyleTuckerCBB And you all would say, “he don’t say no.” Com
On. Haha

[Brad @FCKYPeav]

@KyleTuckerCBB That is a no win question for Pope to answer. He say, “no” and the next time the kid is as the podium, he’s going to be asked about it. It’s not that serious.
