PATHOLOGICAL RACISM, CHRONIC RACISM & TARGETED UNIVERSALISM |
109 California Law Review 1107 (June, 2021) |
Race and law scholars almost uniformly prefer antisubordination to anticlassification as the best way to understand and adjudicate racism. In this short Essay, we explore whether the antisubordination framework is sufficiently capacious to meet our present demands for racial justice. We argue that the antisubordination approach relies on a... |

11 Columbia Journal of Race and Law 471 (July, 2021) |
The Article argues that at the core of the American neoliberal policy regime, of which child welfare is a critical part, lies an enduring raced family policy logic of two racially stratified standards: a punitive Black economic utility family standard and a supportive white domestic affection family standard, whose policy roots and practices trace... |

PRETRIAL RELEASE FOR NON-US CITIZEN CLIENTS: ONE FRONT OF THE WAR FOR RACIAL JUSTICE |
45-JUL Champion 16 (July, 2021) |
Before the hearing, the prosecutor called to ask if I was planning on stipping to detention. I was not. But your client is an alien, the prosecutor replied. I pointed out that my client was still entitled to a detention hearing and pretrial release. But he'll lose, and it is just a waste of the court's time. The prosecutor was wrong.... |

The rich man's dog gets more in the way of vaccination, medicine and medical care than do the workers upon whom the rich man's wealth is built. Poor health outcomes are linked to long-standing wealth disparities for people of color in the United States. Wealth inequality has gotten worse over the past decades, despite attempts to improve it.

RACIAL BIAS STILL EXISTS IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM? A REVIEW OF RECENT EMPIRICAL RESEARCH |

The debate on whether racial bias is still embedded in the criminal justice (CJ) system today has reached its plateau. One recent article in the Washington Post has claimed an overwhelming evidence of racial bias in the CJ system. Whereas some scholars argue that racial disparity is an epitome of real crime rates, others indicate that implicit... |

This global health crisis has proven to be an equal opportunity discloser, in that it has spotlighted the layers of inequities and racial disparities so engrained in America's structural systems. Nowhere else is this more evident than in our criminal legal system, where justice is often austere for African Americans. The ghastly statistics of the... |

. an interesting paradox arises with the racialization of disabilities [because the] civil rights response for one group of individuals (i.e., learners with disabilities) has become a potential source of inequities for another group (i.e., racial minority students), despite their shared histories of struggles for equity.

Modern histories of the drug war coalesce around the premise that early antidrug laws took rise from racial animus.

I don't think we should ask doctors to remedy past discrimination. They can't do it, except haphazardly. And it's not their job. A doctor ought to consider a patient's present medical needs and nothing else: not her sex, not her race, not her long-term disabilities, not whether her mother loves her, not any fact about her, save as relevant to her... |
