Why are brown and Black people supporting the far right?

The Republican Party in the United States has moved farther right in recent years. And as it has, you would think racialized Americans might be distancing themselves from it and its policies.But at last week’s GOP Primary presidential debates, three of the seven people on stage were candidates of colour. Racialized citizens also have been drawn to far-right politics, including key players in the January 6th Capitol attack and recent racist attacks.Which begs the question: Why are racialized people upholding white supremacist ideologies that work against them?Daniel Martinez Hosang, a Professor of Ethnicity, Race and Migration and American Studies at Yale University has been exploring this question for a long time. He is the author with Joseph Lowndes of _Producers, Parasites, Patriots, Race, and the New Right Wing Politics of Precarity_. HoSang sat down with us to discuss what he calls the politics of multicultural white supremacy.
