Please mention the Thelonious Monk book!!

Will we have access to Robin's slides once the webinar concludes?

The recording will be shared. We will check on the slides.

The recorded video will include the slides.

I hope this is being recorded.

Here’s what the internet says about co-consitutive, if it happened to be a new word to others (it was to me). It probably means something like reciprocal interaction - symbiosis. Processes whereby relationships between co-constitute, make each node or element in the relationship what it is. In a relational ontology or relational worldview - anything that is, is co-constituted, or reciprocally constructed via relations to anything/everything else.

—all of capitalism emerged from race and racism

Making babies

mm hmm

Kin keeping and caregiving

Subsidized white suburbs

federally mandated

You can see that with new senior homes going up.

The Ford Americanization program is one I hadn't heard of; for those interested, there's some info in the 2nd half of this article https://jalopnik.com/when-henry-fords-benevolent-secret-police-ruled-his-wo-1549625731

Also https://www.jstor.org/stable/40969129 for those who have JSTOR access

Thanks!

Ford had a "melting pot" that was part of the americanization process. This was a ritual for Europeans to let go of their ethnic identity and become white. https://www.thehenryford.org/collections-and-research/digital-collections/artifact/254569/

Here's a good interview about the recent Supreme Court decision about civil asset forfeiture: https://www.theroot.com/does-a-new-supreme-court-ruling-mean-police-can-no-long-1832790192

Can you talk about the core tenets of capitalism and how those are co-constitutive with racism and patriarchy?

One of your hypothesis was that white racial solidarity across lines lines of class, notions of entitlement among white people is how capitalism maintains itself. Why isn’t that more widely accepted and why do you think efforts to organize white workers away from white racial solidarity have failed to get to scale?

Thank You!!

thank you!

Thank you Dr. Kelley

So… sounds like the thing to do is smash capitalism. How do we go about doing that?

Also, this is a really big topic when you first start. What’s an easy way to think about why capitalism needs racism? Why couldn’t capitalism work without racism?

+1000 to the last two questions!

The last one addresses my question as well

Thanks for doing this, Dr. Kelley. When we started, you mentioned holding a personal moratorium on discussing racial capitalism because it’s often misused or misinterpreted. What is an example of its misuse? What advice would you give to future scholars, particularly black scholars, to make sure we stay on message in our work?

Thank you so much! A question I have: in an age of technology and surveillance, how do we align and connect with the communities in Africa, Asia, etc. who are outside of the surveillance state, without bringing them under technological surveillance?

Perhaps Dr. Kelley can pick out a handful of these questions and respond to them via email then send them out to those registered for this event.

This was touched on briefly, but how has the concept of racial capitalism translated to higher education and what has been the impact?

Help an organizer out!! QUESTION: How do we organize against racial injustice in a time in which identity politics is more about protecting racial essentialism than dismantling racial capitalism?

What is your analysis around the police abuse and murder of people of color with disabilities?

General ? to organizers: Will the slides be included in the recording that is sent out?

Hi all - not sure about that, but we can ask Robin!

I’d really like to get a better handle on how capitalism and racism co-create each other - how can we point that out to others?

Worker ownership!!!!

..."its easier to vision the end of the world than it is to vision the end of capitalism"...

What groups or organizations are doing good work right now to dismantle or build alternatives to racial capitalism?

Ask about book suggestions please!!!!

Oh hey everybody, I recommend listening to the srsly wrong podcast. It’s really informative on what capitalism is, etc., as well as being really funny.

Gotta go, 4-year-old is complaining. (I’m doing the reproductive labor that capitalism requires!) Thanks so much!!!
