Racial Deconstruction (Ep. 8)
from Sox and Sandals Podcast · host Emmanuel Williams
In this episode Emmanuel makes a case for the deconstruction of how we identify folks by race in America. Race is not a biological or scientific concept. Race is, however, a lived experience and a sociopolitical construct. We delude ourselves to think that we can achieve "racial equality" some day in America. Race in America is hierarchy! There is no equality in a hierarchy. Unless we run away from racial classifications we will never have a chance to achieve equality among all Americans.
