Structural Racism

The Urgent Need For The Black Radical Tradition

March 15, 2026 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
The celebrated Pan-African revolutionary who was born Stokely Carmichael became known as Kwame Ture circa1969 at the age of 28. He died in 1998 at the age of 57, which means that he was called Kwame Ture for at least as long as he was known by his more well-known birth name. A museum dedicated to Black history should know this easy-to-discover fact, but oddly, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, part of the Smithsonian Institution, seems unable to provide this information and still uses the name Carmichael.

Prison System In Tennessee: A Cycle Of Racism And Control

March 14, 2026 Lindy Drolsum, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
Tennessee likes to call itself “tough on crime.” But what that usually means is locking up kids too young, targeting Black and brown communities, and pouring public money into the private prisons that exist because of an exploitative and racist system. Growing up in rural Tennessee, I saw punishment take priority over real support at every turn. There was a kid in my high school who came to class daily on downers — probably Xanax, which we all knew he sold. My teacher would pull him into the hallway to talk, trying to keep him awake and connected.

‘Inequality In Kenya: View From Kibera’ Documentary Premieres

August 28, 2025 Ajamu Baraka, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
Poverty is an artificial creation. Join political activist and Black Agenda Report’s contributing editor Ajamu Baraka and members of the Communist Party Marxist-Kenya on a trip to Kibera, Africa’s largest slum. It is symptomatic of a larger issue because, despite Nairobi being the wealthiest county in Kenya, contributing 27% of the country’s GDP, 60% of its 5 million residents live in squalor across 200 slums. Successive governments since independence have done little to change the status quo, leaving the people to predatory organizations that, at best, provide a band-aid to a gaping wound, or at worst, serve to depoliticize the masses. Black Agenda Report & North-South Project for People(s)-Centered Human Rights have come together to re-release African Stream’s Mini-Doc: “Inequality in Kenya: View from Kibera”.

How Structural Racism Fuels America’s Endless Wars

June 29, 2025 Sharon Kyle, LA Progressive. , , , , ,
From the very inception of the United States, a privileged elite has engineered laws, institutions, and cultural narratives to preserve its dominance—initially through racialized land seizures and redistribution, the brutal system of chattel slavery, and exclusionary immigration policies; later through Jim Crow segregation; and today through more insidious mechanisms like militarized borders, discriminatory policing, mass incarceration, exploitative labor practices, and the weaponization of poverty. At the core lies structural white supremacy—an evolving, interlocking system of racial and class oppression that resists democracy, adapts with time, and refuses to cede power.
