Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Racial Authoritarianism in the US

Racial racism is an oxymoron. The flaw in racial authoritarianism is the assumption that it is only people of color who pay the price. But the radical tradition in Black Cultural Studies from Du Bois to Stuart Hall reminds us that it is race-class-gender dominance that is articulated at the expense of all the poor, including poor whites, poor women and people of color. For instance, the police kill 2.5 more white people than they kill African Americans, though the proportion of the killing of black people is 2.5 per million higher than the killing of white people by cops, according to the Washington Post. That is why many white people have always joined the struggle against authoritarianism because it is not a problem only for people of color.
