Strategic Racism is a Divide and Conquer Scam: Ian Haney Lopez
Thursday, April 28th, 2022 \xa0
Ian Haney L\xf3pez is the Chief Justice Earl Warren Professor of Public Law at the University of California, Berkeley. He specializes in race and racism. His focus for the last decade has been on the use of racism in electoral politics, and how to respond. We discuss strategic racism and its antidote: race-class fusion politics.\xa0

Strategic racism is a divide and conquer scam by elites that pushes us to hate each other while they rig the system for themselves. Race-class fusion politics is the antidote because it rejects the con and builds power with others across differences. Perhaps the real radicalism of race-class fusion politics today is the core radicalism of American democracy \u2013 a way of pushing power downward and outward to citizens.
