These three things render racism as a system invisible, and sustain the status quo.

(3) the overuse and misuse of the term "identity." This term has become a way to perform backdoor essentialism. It reduces socially constructed attributes as if they are hobbies (backpacker, kayaker, mountain climber, etc ).

Three things that limit our understanding of racism and race in the United States.

This is special to me. My last talk of the semester. I spent 9 1/2 years at the University of Nebraska. This is virtual and the website includes a link to register. news.unl.edu/article/willia…

2/2 If these types of statements tickle your intellectual fantasy, then you may want to attend this on Thursday. 👇🏾

1/2 "Race" is not a predictor or risk factor to hypothesize that an outcome will happen; "race" is the outcome that tells us that something has already happened. Something == racism as a system and racial as processes (e.g., racialization).

Causal modeling limits our theoretical and analytical imagination regarding racial inequality. Settler colonialism and the Transatlantic slave trade caused racial inequality. Our job now is to understand the mechanisms maintaining racial inequality.

The study of racism is how disinformation becomes normalized via ideologies, beliefs, laws, and social practices. And that disinformation gets stitched into the American fabric and presented to the population as if it is universally true.

Considering what MOST Americans did during slavery, Indian removal, Reconstruction, the lynching epidemic, Jim Crow era & JD Vance's futon phase... How long before MOST people recognize that America is in its fascist era? dlvr.it/TLQ5CG

@doc_thoughts How so?

The creation of racial categories should be viewed as a human rights violation. Because they standardized and normalized subjugation.

🚨new publication alert🚨 Super proud of @DeonteSoc on his first publication. This paper is an adapted version of his Masters thesis. Great work!

I miss the old Twitter.

@NuclearWomprat @MattPolProf I don't think my view and this Tweet mention of "universalism" are capable.

@doc_thoughts You’ve been critical of universalism in the past. Do you have thoughts on @MattPolProf’s statement? Thanks!
