| Abstract:
| This presentation is a socio-historical analysis of the changing status of African Americans from slavery to the present in the context of a white nationalist America. At its inception, citizenship in America was racialized by the restriction to being white. Racialized slavery was a well-established institution by the time of America’s revolution. Exploitation for their labor was the raison d’etre for the presence of blacks in America. White supremacy was the political system that reduced blacks to being less than fully human, as specified in the Constitution. This problem has been viewed as one of “race” with its attendant assertion of biological inferiority rather than national oppression. From the Civil War and Reconstruction to the Civil Rights Movement, the major goal for African Americans has been to for full citizenship status. The obstacle to that citizenship and civil rights has been a racialized white nationalism. This paper argues that the “race relations” model and its assimilationist concepts like “racial balance” and “white privilege” are limited in that blacks are an exploited “internal colony.” The assimilationist model ignores that blacks and other people of color have interests unique to their own “national” interests in their pursuit of citizenship rights and economic justice. | Most Common Document Word Stems:
