Jokes are one way racism is normalized and Black people are dehumanized - Tricia Rose on the BBC — Tricia Rose Tricia Rose joins the BBC to offer her perspective on the racist video circulated by the White House.

The dehumanization of Black people is a long-standing device of racist storytelling. It is part of a bigger anti-civil-rights project to justify the destruction of equal rights for all human beings, especially the rights of Black and Brown people.

Reflecting on the legacy of Rev Jackson yesterday on the BBC, I shared my view that his greatest legacy is a coalition building powered by a moral vision of mutual recognition, not policy negotiations. This builds bridges between us and gives us the courage to cross them.

Racist jokes powerfully reinforce dehumanizing tropes about Black people. When we’re depicted as less than human, injustices against us can be understood as “justified.”

I’ve spent a decade researching systemic racism, and I am struck with awe by the power of Black cultural resilience.

Baltimore is seeing a historic drop in violent crime rates. How? Essentially, they’re now taking a “comprehensive” (i.e. systems) approach. Investing in young people helps everyone!

Way Outta No Way | Home | Way Outta No Way This site uses stories and research to show the harmful effects of systemic racism on African Americans and to show Black culture's insistence on making a way out of no way.

For generations, Juneteenth has been an occasion to celebrate African American freedom and a poignant reminder that it continues to be fought for, claimed and defended.

As part of this ongoing pursuit of justice, I’m proud to share my latest project, #WayOuttaNoWay

My book “Metaracism” offers a way for us to see & understand the complexity, interconnections, & compounding effects produced by systemic racism. Once we know how it works, we can better see and target its weaknesses.

The NFL is removing “End Racism” but keeping “Choose Love”? These things are completely interconnected. To choose love, you have to end racism.

“Metaracism” is the meta effect of systemic racism. It is the dynamic & compounding patterns of racial disadvantage & discrimination produced by the interconnections among policies & practices across society over time.
