    • 2020 June 4, Kihana Miraya Ross, “Call It What It Is: Anti-Blackness”, in New York Times‎[1]:
      Anti-blackness is one way some black scholars have articulated what it means to be marked as black in an anti-black world. It’s more than just “racism against black people.” That oversimplifies and defangs it. It’s a theoretical framework that illuminates society’s inability to recognize our humanity — the disdain, disregard and disgust for our existence.
