Join Atlas Society Senior Scholar and Professor of Philosophy at Rockford, Stephen Hicks, Ph.D. Wednesday, February 7 @ 3:30 PM PT / 6:30 PM ET for a Spaces on Twitter/X where Dr. Hicks will discuss why racialist language is wrong historically and philosophically. Those interested can listen HERE.

“Beware of racialist language. When revenge racism leads some to blame ‘whites’ for slavery, some respond by pointing out, accurately, that the battle against slavery was firstly and mostly accomplished by European and North Americans. The dangerous temptation, though, is to adopt the same racialist premise and—instead of blaming ‘whites’ for slavery—crediting ‘whites’ with ending it.”
