On the cusp of Western civilization, Caucasians aspired to a racial world order defining Caucasian as superior race status. Today, racial diversity is a societal theme facilitated by laws, which deems racial equality a right and racial discrimination illegal. Nevertheless, by globalization, a racial world order exists by locating light skin at the zenith of humanity. As pertains to the globalization of light skin, culture and social criteria are most significant considering the demands of a racist racial hierarchy. The existence of such a hierarchy by replacing racism with colorism then necessitates moving beyond race category. Critical race theory (CRT) per light skin as new world order must defer to critical skin theory (CST). Colorism per CST operates identical in manner to racism per CRT. CST must then be elevated to priority over CRT such that the future of humanity may be rescued from the tenacious transgressions of a racist societal past.

Systems Of Domination

Race has yet to be discussed as a significant factor in the field of speech-language pathology. Race is often conflated with nonmainstream dialects and discussed in purely linguistic terms. However, the terms we use to describe dialects are highly racialized, centering white mainstream norms and treating nonmainstream varieties of English as “different” and, therefore, inferior. Hierarchical thinking about language contributes to the misdiagnosis in Black and other communities of color because racialized language ideologies have been left unstated. This chapter demonstrates through a critical race theory approach how structural racism shapes the field's conceptualization of language and competence. Using an intersectional lens in particular, this chapter discusses race, disability, and language ideology as systems of domination that compound the effects of racism for communities of color. CRT is then used to reveal, critique, and intervene on the historically embedded racist structures that continue to manifest in speech-language pathology research, teaching, and practice today.

Jazz Musician

Drawing on recent theories of race from critical race theory, this article examines Michael Ondaatje’s 1976 novel Coming Through Slaughter to assess the involvement, or lack, of technologies of stardom such as photography and radio in the celebrity of the fictionalized jazz musician Charles “Buddy” Bolden. This essay builds on established postcolonial and aesthetic readings, and offers an alternative to the often-held view that Ondaatje is not concerned by race, or the suggestion that he is only preoccupied by art and artists. Its textual focus is an interpretation of the counterfactual (put differently, anachronistic) scene involving a radio and scenes related to the darkroom and the racial significance of its black and white negatives. It argues that these technologies “colour” the rooms in which they are found and thereby complicate ideas of domestic privacy and opposing publicity.

Qualitative Work

Ethnic Studies classrooms in many respects are spaces wherein healing, solidarity, and social change occur, particularly surrounding discussions about race. The discussion around race is a language in itself—complete with levels of engagement. Students from privileged groups may not have many opportunities to explore the language of race and marginalization, thus being an “outsider” to the language of these experiences. This often times leads to miscommunication and missing meaningful engagement toward collective social action and change in classroom spaces. As a result, students have powerful emotional responses to these topics, and if students’ affective and intellectual responses are not acknowledged and respected, teachers can be met with what is perceived as impermeable resistance. Drawing from the framework of Critical Race Theory, this qualitative work presents tenets of race as a language that allows for understanding identity formation and entry point into conversations of race and ethnicity. Furthermore, consistent dialogue as a way of gaining proficiency and a space for marginalized identities to share their lived experiences as a way to build upon their proficiency. This research assists in expanding the work in the pedagogy of Ethnic Studies as a space to radically connect, heal, and implement social change.

Abstrak Laki-laki dan perempuan biracial di AS, khususnya mereka yang memiliki warisan hitam-putih, terus-menerus dihadapkan pada krisis identitas pribadi, di mana mereka tidak dapat menyejajarkan diri dengan kedua sisi ras atau etnis mereka. Barack Obama, presiden petahana AS, juga mengalami situasi yang membingungkan selama tahap pengembangan kedirian dan identitasnya. Penelitian ini menyajikan penjelasan yang berkaitan dengan tantangan yang dihadapi Obama dalam pencarian identitasnya. Penelitian ini juga menyelidiki sejauh mana supremasi kulit putih dan inferioritas kulit hitam yang didesain sedemikian rupa masih terus berlanjut hingga saat ini. Dari penjabaran dapat disimpulkan bahwa ini merupakan kelemahan AS dalam upaya untuk mencapai keadilan dan kesetaraan antara Kulit Putih dan Hitam, bukanlah sarana yang dibutuhkan, melainkan realisasi dan penerimaan tentang pentingnya multirasalitas. Peneliti menggunakan metode kualitatif sebagai metode penelitian dalam upaya untuk memperoleh pemahaman secara mendalam tentang realitas sosial yang digambarkan dalam memoar.    Kata kunci: Kajian Budaya, Teori Critical Race, Nasionalisme Kulit Hitam, Rasisme Buta Warna   Abstract Biracial men and women in the U.S., particularly those with a black and white heritage are constantly faced with personal identity crisis, in which they are unable to align themselves with either side of their race or ethnicity. Barack Obama, the incumbent president of the U.S., also experienced such puzzling situations during the stages of his selfhood and identity development. This research presents an explanation relating to the challenges Obama faced in his search for identity. It also investigates the extent to which white supremacy and black inferiority by design still persists until today. It concludes by stating that what the U.S. is lacking in its effort to achieve justice and equality between the Caucasians and the Negroes, is not the means, but the realization and acceptance on the importance of multiraciality. The researcher employed qualitative method as the mode of research in an attempt to gain an in-depth understanding of the social realities depicted in the memoir.   Keywords: Cultural Studies, Critical Race Theory, Black Nationalism, Colorblind Racism
