Which Black Lives Matter?

Touré F. Reed’s Toward Freedom: The Case Against Race Reductionism presents a forceful critique of race reductionism and makes a persuasive case for the return to a redistributive, public goods approach to governance. Reed brilliantly shows how black political actors have used race reductionism to...

An old way to be an antiracist

After learning that diversity trainings may be ineffective and at-will employment is a structural constraint for diversity workers, I have concluded that it is reasonable for an antiracist to support policies that provide protections for people who push for organizational change. One way to...

The 1619 Project perpetuates the soft bigotry of low expectations

That is what is so disturbing and dangerous about the 1619 Project’s aspiration for children: to create in the minds of students and teachers of all races a vision of America that is imbued with a permanent malignancy that is hostile to the dreams of students of color

(With McWhorter, John.) Turning the Tide on Affirmative Action

On Monday, the Supreme Court heard arguments in the affirmative action cases against Harvard and the University of North Carolina. The Court will issue its decision next year, but if it goes the way that many predict, we may finally see the end of racial preferences in college admissions.

The Souls of Black Folk

One of the best known works of African American literature, The Souls of Black Folk contains a remarkable mix of generic forms, including history, memoir, philosophy, biography, and fiction, to examine the situation of African Americans in the United States at the beginning of the twentieth...

Racial Critiques of Legal Academia

[T]he writings of Bell, Delgado, and Matsuda reveal significant deficiencies - the most general of which is a tendency to evade or suppress complications that render their conclusions problematic. Stated bluntly, they fail to support persuasively their claims of racial exclusion or their claims...

On the Authority of Experience in Black Thought

The spectrum of thought amongst African Americans is and has always been much broader and multifarious than commonly perceived. Neglect of that fact has led to an homogenization that has tended to submerge African American individuality. [...]

‘Viewpoint Diversity’ is About Much More than Politics

If we get more people of color, more immigrants and international students, more low-income and first generation students, more students from rural areas, post-industrial regions and small towns – they will bring with them a much wider range of viewpoints than we currently have, including with...

Injustice in a World Without Villains?

Contemporary white college students (and increasingly college-educated people writ large) skew liberal and tend to be more ostensibly ‘woke’ on racial issues than most people of color. So when racial issues come up, most whites know what they ‘should’ say, and fully expect that their expressed...

Beyond ‘Race Relations.’

Part of it has to deal with the liberal anti-racists evacuating the class content of American society. So they can talk about race and racism in a vacuum. As soon as you do it that way you are in a self-defeating cycle because then you have people you’ve identified as a race who are permanent...
