By Peter Laarman

…y for all to see over years and years? Recall that during his stint as New Republic editor, Sullivan gave Hernnstein and Murray’s atrocious Bell Curve friendly cover treatment and has never given up on his commitment to so-called race science. Earlier this year, from his perch at New York magazine, Sullivan served up the old and discredited “model minority” view of Asian-Americans in a way that was both insulting to Asian-Americans and openly cont…

Pat Robertson Gaga for Gbagbo

By Sarah Posner

…not be the first time Robertson has used his airwaves to support a brutal African dictator. As I reported last summer about Robertson’s American Center for Law and Justice’s activities in Zimbabwe (where ACLJ also promotes recognition of a “Christian nation”): The Zimbabwe outpost of the ACLJ isn’t Robertson’s first foray into Africa.

It is said, in fact, that Kahane was once asked in a radio interview in the 1970s, “What is the difference between you and Farrakhan?” To which Kahane allegedly replied, “The only difference between us is that I am right!” A militant American rabbi, Kahane founde…

Pious White Reformers and Race, Then and Now

By Peter Laarman

…condition that they be exiled beyond the Mississippi River; they could be freed but denied civil and political rights; or they could be freed and given the same rights as white people despite the ways in which slavery had “depraved their faculties.” The primary problem usually cited in regard to the third option was the one that John Adams raised in critiquing Tucker’s entire emancipation scheme: “Justice to the negroes would require that they sh…

MLK Monument That Never Was, is a Reminder of the King Too Often Ignored

By Ed Simon

…sed memorial would have been an acknowledgement that Lincoln’s vision was incomplete, that the task of emancipation was (and is) ongoing, and that as a nation we’re willing to understand this continuing task. It would have revised a beloved monument by including within it the central actor of that memorial’s most important event—the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Such would be a fuller encapsulation of King’s significance than the…

By Nilay Saiya

…dence supportive of this thesis in countries as diverse as Brazil, Central African Republic, Pakistan, India, and Myanmar, where vigilantes from dominant religious communities routinely attack the homes, businesses, and houses of worship of religious minorities with impunity.

The Islamophobia Election: How “Muslim” Became a Racial Identity

By Michael Schulson

…looking at African immigrants. When they come to the United States how do African immigrants get racialized as African Americans? I don’t want it to be misunderstood that I’m saying that skin tone and pigmentation don’t matter in the United States. They obviously very much do. But there are other ways that people are racialized. For example, Latinos may be racialized based on language, and accents. Sure. It is very difficult because in the public…

Good News: Religious Outreach Works On Vaccine Hesitancy. Bad News: We Need It.

By Daniel Schultz

…to consideration than other demographics across the board. That is to say, African Americans trust the vaccination system to serve whites and Hispanics even less than those groups do! Other surprises: while Americans without a religious faith routinely come in as one of the most liberal segments of society, when it comes to Covid vaccines, they’re right in the middle of the pack.
