The claim that the difficulties that the black community faces are entirely causally explained [in terms] of white systemic racism, white supremacy, and other forms of white discrimination&#8230; should be vigorously challenged by historians.<\/h5>\n<h5>Instead, it is being treated as an axiomatic truth without serious consideration of its profound flaws, or its worrying implication of total black impotence. This hypothesis is transforming our institution and our culture, without any space for dissent&#8230;<\/h5>\n<h5>A counter-narrative exists. &#8230;Consider the proportion of black incarcerated Americans. This proportion is often used to characterize the criminal justice system as anti-black.<strong> However, if we use the precise same methodology, we would have to conclude that the criminal justice system is even more anti-male than it is anti-black.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5>Would we characterize criminal justice as a systemic misandrist conspiracy against innocent American men?<\/h5>\n<h5>I hope you see that this type of reasoning is flawed, and requires a significant suspension of our rational faculties.<strong> Black people are not incarcerated at higher rates than their involvement in violent crime would predict. This fact has been demonstrated multiple times across multiple jurisdictions in multiple countries.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5><strong>And yet, I see my department uncritically reproducing a narrative that diminishes black agency in favor of a white-centric explanation that appeals to the department&#8217;s apparent desire to shoulder the &#8216;white man&#8217;s burden&#8217; and to promote a narrative of white guilt.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5>If we claim that the criminal justice system is white-supremacist, why is it that Asian Americans, Indian Americans, and Nigerian Americans are incarcerated at vastly lower rates than white Americans?<\/h5>\n<h5>This is a funny sort of white supremacy.<\/h5>\n<h5>Even Jewish Americans are incarcerated less than gentile whites. I think it&#8217;s fair to say that your average white supremacist disapproves of Jews. And yet, these alleged white supremacists incarcerate gentiles at vastly higher rates than Jews.<\/h5>\n<h5>None of this is addressed in your literature.
