Vor ein paar Wochen habe ich mir (endlich) ein Abo der @woz gegönnt (nachdem ich sie das letztemal während der RS 1986 abonniert habe - hat mir glaub geholfen, nicht weitermachen zu müssen…) Anyway
Sie kommt Donnerstag und liegt dann bereit, dass ich sie am Samstag morgen in Ruhe lesen kann. Hat schon was, so haptisch und auf Papier zu lesen.
Neben der @republik_magazin meine zweite - langsame - News Quelle.

Yes seriously
This summer, I've been able to freelance for newspapers in two communities I care about a lot — Southeast Texas and the Pikes Peak region.
Here's what I wrote for the Beaumont Enterprise and the Pikes Peak Bulletin. #journalismlife #LocalNewsMatters #supportjournalism #freelance

Only one form of anti-racism actually works: And it ain't "reasoning with racists".

❝
The liberal tradition sees racism as essentially a matter of irrational beliefs and attitudes. Its founders, such as the anthropologist Ruth Benedict and gay rights pioneer Magnus Hirschfeld, were interested in understanding the rise of nazism in the 1930s. They concluded that, in societies where racial prejudices were widespread, liberal democracy could be undermined by political extremists inflaming race hatred to gain power. To remove this danger, they called on the liberal establishment to persuade the masses, especially the poor and uneducated, that racist opinions have no legitimate basis.
This approach remains at the core of liberal antiracism today, from the enthusiasm for diversity training – a $4.3bn business in the US

❝
The radical tradition, on the other hand, sees racism as a matter of how economic resources are distributed differently across racial groups. In a 1938 article on “racism in Africa”, for instance, the Trinidadian writer CLR James argued that British colonial racism was not a set of beliefs or attitudes but a structure of generally observed social rules and policies that enabled economic exploitation. Individual racist attitudes no doubt existed but were not the decisive factor.

❝
Radical antiracists argue that the only way to fight this oppression is to build autonomous organisations with the power to dismantle existing social systems and build new ones.
❞
❝ Liberal antiracists are powerless against this new structural racism. They demand we use the correct racial vocabulary, shaming Conservative MPs or sports commentators when they use derogatory terms; but abolishing a word does not abolish the social forces it expresses.❞
