Causal modeling limits our theoretical and analytical imagination regarding racial inequality. Settler colonialism and the Transatlantic slave trade caused racial inequality. Our job now is to understand the mechanisms maintaining racial inequality.

The study of racism is how disinformation becomes normalized via ideologies, beliefs, laws, and social practices. And that disinformation gets stitched into the American fabric and presented to the population as if it is universally true.

Considering what MOST Americans did during slavery, Indian removal, Reconstruction, the lynching epidemic, Jim Crow era & JD Vance's futon phase... How long before MOST people recognize that America is in its fascist era? dlvr.it/TLQ5CG

The creation of racial categories should be viewed as a human rights violation. Because they standardized and normalized subjugation.

It took me a while to realize this but the "Moving to Opportunity" project is rooted in racial essentialism. That's why I have a hard time grappling with those studies.

I may delete this later, but quick update: ✅The Engine of Racial Capitalism → UC Irvine Law Review (2026) ✅The Spirit of Oligarchy in American Agriculture → Columbia Law Review (2026) Grateful to those who helped along the way. Much work left to do. Connect to chat more.

White Mediocrity Empowers White Villainy, so we need white people to have objective criteria for considering themselves good and decent. Our culture lies when it says Black & Brown folk need to prove they're good, but white people simply are... publicbooks.org/white-mediocri…

Excited to share my new article in @SF_Journal ! Using a survey experiment with 995 families, I show how race shapes beliefs about school safety. White, Asian, and Latine families perceive Black schools as less safe—even when safety ratings are identical. #Education #Race 1/4

My research is not about social categories; rather, my work focuses on the processes and mechanisms that make social category salient in the first place. There's a difference.

#AcademicTwitter are there "go-to" articles on measuring race, measuring gender, and measuring sexuality?
