10:36Now PlayingDarren Wilson recently had an interview with The New Yorker, and it is the first major interview he has done since the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson Missouri. The interview gives you a sense of his hypocrisy regarding his views on black culture and white culture. Ana Kasparian (The Point), Karamo Brown, and Becca Frucht (Pop Sugar) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.
Is Darren Wilson definitively a racist? Does this interview redeem him in your eyes? Let us know in the comments below.

“Writing for the New Yorker, Jake Halpern has turned in the first extensive interview with Darren Wilson, the former Ferguson, Mo., cop who shot and killed black teenager Michael Brown. In conversations at his home, hidden somewhere “on the outskirts of St. Louis,” Wilson reveals he’s not exactly haunted by second thoughts about what happened: He “did his job” that day, and just wants to move on with his life.
According to the Department of Justice report on the circumstances of Brown’s death, Wilson is right: the shooting was defensible and he didn’t violate Brown’s civil rights. That’s the Justice Department report Wilson would prefer to focus on, not the second one that determined the Ferguson police and courts—of which he was a part—are racist and heavily weighted against black people.”
