Abstract:

This paper presents an addition to the “Rules of Racial Standing” presented in Derrick Bell’s Faces at the Bottom of the Well. Race Relations are presented as a game in which there are “playas”, “playa-haters”, and the “played”. The “Rules of Racial Standing” are also given for whites, as well as blacks, in order to play the game to one’s fullest potential. Historical examples are given regarding where the game is played, how it is played, and when it is played within an American context. The conclusion addresses whether the game is permanent or simply a temporary fixture, leading towards an ability to end it.
