American democracy is in the peril. And racism will be the sledgehammer that destroys it | Kimberlé W Crenshaw

Sep 6, 2024 | theguardian.com | Kimberle Crenshaw |Kimberlé Crenshaw

Racism has been the achilles heel of American democracy since its founding as a racialized project, predicated on theft of land, of labor and of the reproductive autonomy of Black women.

If there are two things it makes sense to bet against these days, they are the United States of America and the movies. The faltering status of both institutional bedrocks is well-known. It’s understood they are on the way out; it’s common wisdom, the stuff of countless op-eds online, of conversations at work, over dinner, wherever.
