Author Thaddeus Russell joins the Freedom Report podcast today to discuss racism, minorities, and American culture in the backdrop of the shootings in South Carolina. Russell is the author of The Renegade History of the United States, a controversial book that examines how the malcontents, mischief makers, and ne’er do wells in American history were the true pioneers of American freedom as we know it today. Today’s interview with Russell examines racial problems in America, as well as the culture of conservatism in the wake of the legalization of gay marriage.
