The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy: And the Path to a Shared American Future | Robert P. Jones

2 posts | 2 read | 4 to read

"The story of three locations in the United States -- in Mississippi, Minnesota, and Oklahoma -- where the indigenous people were driven out by European colonists, where vicious racial killings took place in the last century, and how these places are coming to terms with the past, creating new organizations dedicated to racial repair and reconciliation as they aspire to a more inclusive, more promising future"--

The author makes the case that the Doctrine of Discovery fueled America‘s historically terrible treatment of Indigenous people and Black people. I like how the author divided the book into 3 parts of the country, with 3 similar patterns of land grabbing and lynching, and how the communities are reckoning with their history to create a “path forward” today.

I was thankful when Pope Francis, on March 30, 2023, officially repudiated the “Doctrine of Discovery.“ 🥲💝.

It was truly an important step forward. 7mo

I read this last month. It‘s excellent!! The author examines 3 racist crimes in 3 disparate American cities. He goes in depth into the ideological framework of European invaders/conquerors and how this influenced lasting prejudices in our culture. A must-read!!!
