Margaret Kimberley · Racism and Violence Against Blacks Endemic to US

Critical Race Theory holds that racism is endemic to US society, while Afropessimism and Social Death “suggests that, regardless of what Black bodies do, [they] will experience gratuitous violence,” said Shameka Powell, co-director of Educational Studies at Tufts University. Powell is co-author of a paper titled, “Kissing Cousins: Critical Race Theory’s Racial Realism and Afropessimism’s Social Death.”
