Lovable racists, magical Negroes, and White messiahs
Book • 2017
In this book, David Ikard examines the persistence of white supremacist narratives in American society, particularly through the tropes of lovable racists, magical negroes, and white messiahs.
He argues that these tropes reinforce white privilege and perpetuate racial inequality, often by portraying minimal acts of white civility as heroic.
Ikard critiques the notion of a postracial society and emphasizes the need for continued efforts towards racial equality.
