It's no wonder racial identity is making a comeback, and it's no wonder critical race theory - which defines people by race and racial power structures - has taken over our culture's leading institutions.
In a world of unstable identities, race is an old certainty.
The Resilience of Race Racial identities have resisted the trends marking the decline of other sources of strong identities for several reasons.
Third, the continued importance of race legitimates the enormous civil rights bureaucracy that was established to squelch segregation and overt racial discrimination.
'Whiteness' vs. Everything Else Leftists would prefer the populace to identify as isolated consumers, but if we are to have group identities, they would prefer race to class.
Despite their unconcern, critical race theory is toxic, encouraging racial obsession and enmity.
In politics, critical race theory encourages vicious attacks on minority conservatives, who are treated as race traitors who are guilty of "Whiteness." For example, a Washington Post article used a theory of "Multiracial whiteness" to explain minority support for Donald Trump.
