Those who decry critical race theory's impact in the classroom would do well to ask why they are so threatened by people of color being allowed to have their say, a welcome change after a long history of inequality. They might not like what they find.
Like most discussions on the national stage, the debate around qualified immunity is spit-roasted in partisanship, with some Republican politicians hesitant to make waves.
Republicans act like the new Georgia voting bill isn't racist, just because the bill doesn't explicitly say, "we want fewer people of color to vote." But that's exactly what it is designed to do, and as history shows, they probably know it.
I am a Palestinian from Gaza. Conspicuously absent from the five million Israelis lucky enough to get the vaccine were Palestinians living under occupation in the West Bank, and in the Gaza Strip.
"We've come to our nation's capital to cash a check," King declared, arguing that in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, the Founding Fathers "were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir."
Doing the work together requires submission of white power to the direction and self-interests of Black people and other people of color equitably. Then, corporate promises will have the power to become more than lip service.

Obama's moderate approach led to significant accomplishments and the most progressive presidency in a generation. But that was when the GOP was semi-sane.
The longer both the president and his party remain trapped in a conspiracy scenario, the more likely they are to paint themselves into a corner from which there is no escape.
