The evidence of racism—and not just race as a marker—continues to make denying racism a fool’s errand (yet, it persists). Here are some powerful reads that counter those deniers:
- How School Suspensions Push Black Students Behind, Alia Wong
- The Punishment Gap: School Suspension and Racial Disparities in Achievement, ,
- Even Black Kids In Kindergarten May Face Racial Bias, Nick Visser
- Faces of black children as young as 5 evoke negative biases
- Does Seeing Faces of Young Black Boys Facilitate the Identification of Threatening Stimuli? Andrew R. Todd, Kelsey C. Thiem, Rebecca Neel
- Income Inequality Overall and by Race and Gender, Matt Bruenig
- Wealth Inequality by Race, Matt Bruenig

I have an African-American daughter. People thought she was my “foster” child. They would tell me how well she behaved. In kindergarten she was told she could not play Snow White in the class play because she is Black. This was 1986 and Los Angeles. I am grateful that some things have improved – such as the attitudes by young people towards “mixed race”. But we still have such a long way to go.
