It was an extremely difficult and confronting read, but one that I think is so necessary. Anderson traces a history where our political wing has undermined our legislative one by rendering impotent the 13th to 15th Amendments that were to help Blacks and lead to race integration, but I want to return to the thread of education throughout this work.

Richmond decision confirmed the legality of shutting down Black schools if that was needed to keep White schools open. A sobering primer on the myriad ways African American resilience and triumph over enslavement, Jim Crow and intolerance have been relentlessly defied by the very institutions entrusted to uphold our democracy. She lays out the clear case of white rage rearing its racist head throughout history every time Black people attempted to assert their humanity. Ask them if they felt free. White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide Writer There is so much more wrong that needs fixing "in addition to", not "instead of" or "ahead of" my African American existence. There are unforgettable and horrifying scenes here in this spare and sombre memoir of this experience of the hanging of a child, of his first farewell with his father who leaves him an inheritance of a knife and a spoon, and of his last goodbye at Buchenwald his father's corpse is already cold let alone the long months of survival under unconscionable conditions.

It never mattered anyway. Feb 13, Michael Perkins rated it really liked it. And yes it succeeded in making me furious. Compelling and dramatic in the unimpeachable history it relates, White Rage will add an important new dimension to the national conversation about race in America.

I would highly recommend watching the live show discussion about this book and White Fragility on her YouTube channel. The second chapter, Derailing the Great Migration was especially potent, highlighting the many hurdles read, The Warmth of Other Suns for depth placed on Blacks attempting to "leave" the South.

She begins with slavery and completely corrects any fantasy you may have regarding Abraham Lincoln as a friend of African Americans. In many places, in many ways. The unarmed child ends up dead, while the grown man is acquitted. The police can kill an innocent black man and get off. America is currently in the midst of a clear whitelash, as evidenced mostly clearly by the election of Donald Trump, a man whose bigotry and white supremacy were cornerstones of his campaign. For a better shopping experience, please upgrade now. Carefully linking these and other historical flashpoints when social progress for African Americans was countered by deliberate and cleverly crafted opposition, Anderson pulls back the veil that has long covered actions made in the name of protecting democracy, fiscal responsibility, or protection against fraud, rendering visible the long lineage of white rage. Board of Education decision was met with the shutting down of public schools throughout the South; the Civil Rights Act of and Voting Rights Act of led to laws that disenfranchised millions of African American voters and a War on Drugs that disproportionally targeted blacks; and the election of President Obama led to an outburst of violence including the death of Black teen Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri as well as the election of Donald Trump.

Like a meticulous prosecutor assembling her case, Anderson lays out a profoundly upsetting vision of an America driven to waves of reactionary white anger whenever it's confronted with black achievement. It is a reference, and should be revisited. The end of slavery did not presume an acceptance by Whites that Blacks were here to stay, but Anderson reminds us that Lincoln was to convince Africans to move to Panama en masse. They are also on the streets where the police can shoot and kill an unarmed black man, getting away with it because the courts are filled with white men who let them off. Dear Lord.

I think it's important to look toward the future, and hopefully toward change, but I also believe in the importance of understanding how the past has shaped our current country.

  • Culture Wars' Reloaded: Trump, Anti-Political Correctness and the Right's 'Free Speech' Hypocrisy
    The 'Culture Wars' Reloaded: Trump, Anti-Political Correctness and the Right's 'Free Speech' Hypocrisy Dr. Valerie Scatamburlo-D'Annibale University of Windsor, Windsor, Ontario, Canada Abstract This article explores how Donald Trump capitalized on the right's decades-long, carefully choreographed and well-financed campaign against political correctness in relation to the broader strategy of 'cultural conservatism.' It provides an historical overview of various iterations of this campaign, discusses the mainstream media's complicity in promulgating conservative talking points about higher education at the height of the 1990s 'culture wars,' examines the reconfigured anti- PC/pro-free speech crusade of recent years, its contemporary currency in the Trump era and the implications for academia and educational policy. Keywords: political correctness, culture wars, free speech, cultural conservatism, critical pedagogy Introduction More than two years after Donald Trump's ascendancy to the White House, post-mortems of the 2016 American election continue to explore the factors that propelled him to office. Some have pointed to the spread of right-wing populism in the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis that culminated in Brexit in Europe and Trump's victory (Kagarlitsky, 2017; Tufts & Thomas, 2017) while Fuchs (2018) lays bare the deleterious role of social media in facilitating the rise of authoritarianism in the U.S. and elsewhere. Other 69 | P a g e The 'Culture Wars' Reloaded: Trump, Anti-Political Correctness and the Right's 'Free Speech' Hypocrisy explanations refer to deep-rooted misogyny that worked against Hillary Clinton (Wilz, 2016), a backlash against Barack Obama, sedimented racism and the demonization of diversity as a public good (Major, Blodorn and Blascovich, 2016; Shafer, 2017).

  • Thesis “It's Just a Cross, Don't Shoot”: White Supremacy
    THESIS “IT’S JUST A CROSS, DON’T SHOOT”: WHITE SUPREMACY AND CHRISTONORMATIVITY IN A SMALL MIDWESTERN TOWN Submitted by Kate Eleanor Department of Ethnic Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fall 2017 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Caridad Souza Co-Advisor: Roe Bubar Courtenay Daum Copyright by Kate Eleanor 2017 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT “IT’S JUST A CROSS, DON’T SHOOT”: WHITE SUPREMACY AND CHRISTONORMATIVITY IN A SMALL MIDWESTERN TOWN This paper, guided by poststructuralist and feminist theories, examines public discourse that emerged in response to a controversy over whether a large cross should be removed from public property in a highly visible location in Grand Haven, Michigan. Situating the controversy within the context of the election of U.S. President Donald J. Trump, this thesis seeks to answer the inquiry: How do the events and discourse surrounding the controversy over a cross on public property in a small, Midwestern city shed light on the Trump phenomenon? A qualitative study using document data was conducted, using grounded theory method to analyze 152 documents obtained from publically accessible sites on the internet. Three conceptual frameworks, Whiteness, Christian hegemony, and spatiality were utilized in evaluating the data. Findings reveal a community that sits at the intersection of White and Christian privileges. So interconnected are these privileges that they create a system of “codominance,” in which they cannot be conceptually separated from one another, and together constitute the necessary criteria for full inclusion in the community. This qualitative study paints a compelling picture of the ways in which racial and religious privilege affect the underlying belief systems of many members of an overwhelmingly White, Christian community.

    Controversies in the Making: Race, Trump, and Time Debra Thompson Associate Professor Department of Political Science University of Oregon [email protected] John Meisel Lecture Series in Contemporary Political Controversies Queen’s University Introduction It seems fitting to begin with a controversy. Last July, HBO announced that D.B. Weiss and David Benioff would follow their hit series, Game of Thrones, with a new drama entitled Confederate. It will be set in an alternate timeline in which the southern states did not lose the Civil War, but rather seceded from the Union and formed “a nation in which slavery remains legal and has evolved into a modern institution.”1 The series, they claim, would chronical the events leading up to the “Third American Civil War,” following characters on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Demilitarized Zone, including slave hunters, freedom fighters, journalists, abolitionists, and the executives of a slave-holding conglomerate. In short, the new series will ask, “What would the world look like … if the South had won?”2 Shocking nobody other than the white executives of HBO, who had to put down the piles of money they were holding in order to defensively posture that we should all “reserve judgement 1 Emily Yahr, “‘Game of Thrones’ creators announce new show set in a world where slavery still exists,” Washington Post, July 19, 2017, available at: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and- entertainment/wp/2017/07/19/game-of-thrones-creators-announce-new-show-set-in-a-world-where- slavery-still-exists/?utm_term=.8ba0ba16b409 2 Ta-Nehisi Coates, “The Lost Cause Rides Again,” The Atlantic, August 4, 2017, available at: https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2017/08/no-confederate/535512/ 1 until there is something to see,”3 the backlash was immediate.

    Below, you will find a list of non-fiction titles that can start or deepen your understanding of race and racism in the United States, and how you can take actions every day to Stand Against Racism. This is by no means a complete list, and we’d love to know what you’re reading. Me & White Supremacy – Layla Saad. New York Times Bestseller. Me and White Supremacy: A 28-Day Challenge to Combat Racism, Change the World, and Become a Good Ancestor leads readers through a journey of understanding their white privilege and participation in white supremacy, so that they can stop (often unconsciously) inflicting damage on black, indigenous and people of color, and in turn, help other white people do better, too. The book goes beyond the original workbook by adding more historical and cultural contexts, sharing moving stories and anecdotes, and includes expanded definitions, examples, and further resources. • White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard For White People To Talk About Racism – Robin DiAngelo. New York Times Bestseller. o “The New York Times best-selling book exploring the counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged, and how these reactions maintain racial inequality.” • How to Be an Antiracist – Ibrahim X. Kendi. New York Times Bestseller. o “Ibram X. Kendi’s concept of antiracism re-energizes and reshapes the conversation about racial justice in America–but even more fundamentally, points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other. Instead of working with the policies and system we have in place, Kendi asks us to think about what an antiracist society might look like, and how we can play an active role in building it.” • So You Want to Talk About Race? – Ijeoma Oluo.

There is no topic too big, small or uncomfortable for Acho as he tackles white privilege, cultural appropriation and the notion of “reverse racism.” Acho promotes compassion and understanding in delving into difficult topics and also lights a passion in readers to embrace and join the anti-racism movement. Extra resources: ● Uncomfortable Conversations website ● Emmanuel Acho’s YouTube channel The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander Civil rights lawyer and legal scholar Michelle Alexander’s unflinching dismantling of racism in the U.S. criminal justice system spent more than 4 years on The New York Times bestseller list since its 2010 publication.
