WHY AMERICANS ARE A PEOPLE OF EXCEPTIONAL VIOLENCE |

WOULD JUSTICE SCALIA THINK BLACK GUNS MATTER? |
47 New York University Review of Law and Social Change 1 (2023) |
Do Black Guns Matter? This Article considers what Justice Scalia's opinion in District of Columbia v. Heller tells us about how the law treats Black gun owners' rights. The opinion appears to tell two stories. One elevates white gun holders through three white paradigms: the colonial revolutionary, the frontiersman, and the hunter. The second... |

38 Georgia State University Law Review 629 (Winter, 2022) |
Let us put the cannons of our eyes away forever. Our one and only Civil War is done. Let us tilt, rotate, strut on.

"DISCRIMINALIZATION": SEXUALITY, HUMAN RIGHTS, AND THE CARCERAL TURN IN ANTIDISCRIMINATION LAW |
110 California Law Review 431 (April, 2022) |
As lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights gain traction around the globe, many states have turned toward carceral punishment as a means of sanctioning discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. The carceral turn has been scrutinized in racial justice and feminist literature, but few queer scholars have grappled... |

The Fair Housing Act of 1968 includes a provision that requires that the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) administer the policies within the Act to affirmatively further fair housing.

"WITH ALL THE MAJESTY OF THE LAW": SYSTEMIC RACISM, PUNITIVE SENTIMENT, AND EQUAL PROTECTION |
110 California Law Review 371 (April, 2022) |
United States criminal justice policies have played a central role in the subjugation of persons of color. Under slavery, criminal law explicitly provided a means to ensure White dominion over Blacks and require Black submission to White authority. During Reconstruction, anticrime policies served to maintain White supremacy and re-enslave Blacks,... |

A COMMISSION ON RECOGNITION AND RECONSTRUCTION FOR THE UNITED STATES: ILLUSORY OR INSPIRATIONAL? |
66 New York Law School Law Review 359 (2021/2022) |
The United States remains a deeply divided society, with the fault line continuing to be that of race and racism. Of course, this is not new, as W. E. B. Du Bois famously noted more than a century ago that the problem of the color line would be the central issue of the United States in the twentieth century. And so it remains today. The statistics... |

Prosecutors play a central role both in weaponizing personality disorder labels in capital cases and in oppressing Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) within the criminal legal system.

America's use of police to maintain a social order that protects the interests of white upper-class citizens is similar to Taiwan's use of a police state to protect the interests of its authoritarian regime from 1945-1987.
