How Will Racism Be Eradicated?
Mohit Mookim

22 September 2017

在这篇长篇的、诚实的、有见地的文章中，讨论了我们这个种族主义社会的未来。我们将如何从我们社会的各个方面消除种族主义，从制度到日常互动?Kendi相信下面的建议:把那些被种族主义压迫的人，给他们权力的位置。肯迪通过反思这个国家过去五十年来的种族主义和反种族主义的反复，得出了这个结论。

There's a lot to glean from this splendid article. Read it as part of "The long read" series atThe Guardian:

This is a long and arduous

This is a long and arduous journey. Many among us do not wish to embark. This may be because we are imbued with the racism of our long-dead ancestors; because we have never "bought in" to the notion of equality for all; because we have (in our own minds, at least) suffered economically due to the efforts of others to secure equality for all; or because we simply refuse to recognize the right of all to " life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". My take on this became clearer after I read Matt Ridley's Evolution of Everything. In that book, Ridley remarked that even if we ever do realize equality of opportunity, we will probably not realize equality of outcome. In an essay of my own, after quoting the Ridley observation, I mused that if we have been talking about this for fifty years or more and things have not materially changed, how can they ever change? And THAT is the right sort of question for this issue.
