30: School of Thought

Neely Fuller, White Supremacy, and Coronavirus Social Dynamics

Using Neely Fuller's definition of white supremacy as a global system of governance, the hosts draw a parallel between the black experience of racism and the public's experience during the COVID-19 pandemic. An anecdote about a woman in Florence, Italy, being targeted for not wearing a mask serves as a metaphor for racial profiling. The segment likens pandemic travel restrictions and "papers please" requirements to the "stop and frisk" policies historically used in minority communities.
