Obviously I’m an educator so I think anti-racist education matters...but mostly at the margins. Systemic changes have mostly come from social movements forcing organiztions and the state to change.

I think of this as similar to trying to convince oil executives that global warming is real. For the most part, they know it is real and the derive short-term benefits from that reality. And they use every cognitive and propaganda trick deny that reality.

Without a power analysis, the #1 useless response by so many (assumedly) well-meaning liberals to absolutely everything is "we need better education." I also always thought it seemed like a self-complement, "If people were simply better-educated they would agree with me."

Either a compliment or a subtle form of absolution along the lines of, “they know not what the do.” They know and that is why they do it.

All of this, and also, many of our educational institutions reproduce - rather than resist - systemic inequality. It doesn't take the most highly educated to build racism into the system.

I need "You can’t just educate away a power system" on a t-shirt. And a tote bag. and a few billboards. For starters.

The notion that education cures racism is predicated on the idea that racism is due to personal ignorance, rather than a deliberate power structure embedded in society.

they're right on the idea that hate is taught, but as with much of liberalism, they fail to realise the scale of it. when the system is built on hate, better education within it won't do shit. better education is what we need when we rip that system out and replace it
