Sahar F. Aziz RACE, ENTRAPMENT, AND MANUFACTURING "HOMEGROWN TERRORISM" 111 Georgetown Law Journal 381 (March, 2023) At what point does offensive speech cross the line from being constitutionally protected to criminal? Rarely--would be the response of a free speech purist. Indeed, the First Amendment is intended to protect unpopular, offensive, and even subversive speech.

The wider society is still replete with overwhelmingly white neighborhoods, restaurants, schools, universities, workplaces, churches and other associations, courthouses, and cemeteries, a situation that reinforces a normative sensibility in settings in which black people are... 2023
Bennett Capers , Gregory Day RACE-ING ANTITRUST 121 Michigan Law Review 523 (February, 2023) Antitrust law has a race problem. To spot an antitrust violation, courts inquire into whether an act has degraded consumer welfare. Since anticompetitive practices are often assumed to enhance consumer welfare, antitrust offenses are rarely found. Key to this framework is that antitrust treats all consumers monolithically; that consumers are... 2023

Jack Thorlin RACIAL DIVERSITY AND LAW FIRM ECONOMICS 76 Arkansas Law Review 131 (2023) There is an eternal temptation to think that if one recognizes a moral problem and does something about it, then one is blameless even if the action taken does not solve the problem.

Rodney D. Chrisman RACIAL RECONCILIATION: A BIBLICAL FRAMEWORK 17 Liberty University Law Review 507 (Spring, 2023) American society is greatly polarized and divided on many issues, including issues relative to racial reconciliation.

This is the misplaced notion... 2023
Jon J. Lee RACISM AND TRADEMARK ABANDONMENT 91 George Washington Law Review 932 (August, 2023) As companies have come to terms with the fact that their brand names and imagery have connections to America's racist history, they have publicly announced their commitments to shed their ignominious trademarks.
