Can race be transcended?
The Gray Area with Sean Illing
Race Essentialism and Racism
I share your discomfort with racial essentialism for lots of reasons. The whole notion of his or anyone's white supremacy sort of falls apart without the bogus claim that white people are biologically distinct from and therefore superior to other races. Richard Spencer believes a lot of the same things that you can hear the most prominent anti-racist like Robin DiAngelo say. He thinks that whiteness is a thing that's very real and that curtains people like you off from people like me. I don't think that gets us to where we want to be if we want to make a multi-ethnic society that allows individuals to flourish.
