Summary
This week’s In Class With Carr confronts an enduring question at the heart of the U.S. experiment: How long can White nationalism strain the U.S. political order before the contradictions at its core permanently rupture the federated system itself? We trace this week’s racially politicized Southern gerrymanders back to the founding racial logic of the United States, moving from Virginia state court battles to US Supreme Court encouraged anti-Black legislative wars in Tennessee, Louisiana, and Alabama. Together, these conflicts reveal that organized power—not faith in the durability of local, state, or federal institutions—has always driven transformations in the U.S. Social Structure. Echoing social comedian Roy Wood Jr.’s reflections on the centrality of Black locality, the Black-led Human Rights Movement of the Second Reconstruction and contemporary coalition politics, we emphasize culture, memory, and solidarity as essential sources of resistance and transformation. Anticipating intensifying disinformation, fascist unrestraint and escalating legal attacks on voting rights, this week’s session reminds us that “everything ends,” including systems rooted in White racial domination. More inclusive and equitable Social Structures can emerge if and when people fight collectively for them from our strengths.
