Dr. Jared Sexton joined us this week to discuss to his work in Amalgamation Schemes<\/a><\/em> and the politics of multiracial identification in an anti-Black world.\u00a0 As Sexton has written, \u201cMultiracialism cuts its teeth on the denial of this fundamental social truth: not simply that antiblackness is longstanding and ongoing but also that it is unlike other forms of racial oppression in qualitative ways\u2014differences of kind, rather than degree, a structural singularity rather than an empirical anomaly.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 We also paid a brief tribute to professor Derrick Bell<\/a> and his continuing influence.<\/p>\n
