There are so many courses of action! I'll name a few, beginning with Derrick Bell's critical race approach to racial realism which does not collapse into paralysis but, instead, advocates permanent agitation, organizing and disruption. https://twitter.com/SandyDarity/status/1265606748481691649
Another course of action, which is really about political education and ethics: Engaging with indigenous studies and grappling directly with the immorality and racial violence of settler colonialism.. @SandyDarity
Another course of action, which again, has to do with shifting the framework we use to even formulate lines of action: Refusing to allow the political boundaries of nation founded on slavery and indigenous genocide to set the terms for the future we imagine wanting to inhabit.
Another, related course of action: Cosmopolitan internationalism! The very thing advocated by socialists, Black radical lesbian feminists and even white women philosophers like Martha Nussbaum.. @SandyDarity
And again, my point is not that it is impossible to "change" the U.S., it's that it is impossible to eradicate racism in the U.S. because it is a settler colonial state characterized by endemic white supremacist ideology, institutionalized policies and practices. @SandyDarity
