Donald Trump's hand signing his name, from the AAPF report Anti-Blackness Is the Point

AAPF (10/25 ([link removed]) )

This week on CounterSpin: After every police killing of a Black person, every announced policy ([link removed]) singling out Black immigrants as the cause of crime and disorder, every declaration, like that from Arlington National Cemetery, that as of now materials on Black and female service people will be scrubbed from the website ([link removed]) —we hear from corporate media about how, boy, this country is for sure “reckoning” with “racism.” ([link removed]) But then: If we reckoned with racism every time elite media claimed this country was “reckoning” with racism, seems like we ought to be fully “reckoned” by now.

US corporate media have a white supremacy problem (and you see how that term lands differently than “racism”): They decide who they think, and hence you should think, is worth talking to, based on an accepted conflation of power with worthiness. They decide whose ideas are taken for granted and whose deemed marginal, and they tell us how to define progress: Is it moving toward actual equity, or just things quietening down? Who needs to be reassured, and whose lives is it OK to disrupt, whose basic humanity is it OK to question, day after day after day?

A new report ([link removed]) titled Anti-Blackness Is the Point, from the African American Policy Forum, engages this age-old if ever-morphing narrative.

Kimberle Crenshaw ([link removed]) is a leading legal scholar and justice advocate, the force behind the transformative ideas of intersectionality ([link removed]) and critical race theory ([link removed]) . She’s co-founder and executive director of the African American Policy Forum ([link removed]) , as well as a professor of law at both Columbia and UCLA. We talk with Kimblerle Crenshaw this week on CounterSpin.
