"A DANGEROUS, REVERBERATING SILENCE": RACIAL SILENCE, WHITE MONEY, AND SCOTUS? |
55 Seton Hall Law Review 847 (2025) |
The result and the reasoning in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard did not occur in a historic vacuum. Through its history, the Supreme Court has relied on abstraction to maintain a deep silence about the category of race, even as it creates and maintains race doctrines in an evolving context that favors a persisting imaginary image of White... |

The irony, alluding to the title of the 1915 silent movie Birth of a Nation, seeks to make conspicuous the counter-stories that more authentically account for the birth and development of American society. Ku Klux Klan-sponsored propaganda designed to evoke hyper-racist fearmongering and perpetuate sexual paternalism over White women, the plot... |
