Heather McGhee’s specialty is the American economy–and the mystery of why it so often fails the American public. From the financial crisis to rising student debt to collapsing public infrastructure, she found a common root problem: racism. But not just in the most obvious indignities for people of color. Racism has costs for white people, too. It is the common denominator of our most vexing public problems, the core dysfunction of our democracy and constitutive of the spiritual and moral crises that grip us all. But how did this happen? And is there a way out?
McGhee embarks on a deeply personal journey across the country from Maine to Mississippi to California, tallying what we lose when we buy into the zero-sum paradigm–the idea that progress for some of us must come at the expense of others. Along the way, she meets white people who confide in her about losing their homes, their dreams, and their shot at better jobs to the toxic mix of American racism and greed. This is the story of how public goods in this country–from parks and pools to functioning schools–have become private luxuries; of how unions collapsed, wages stagnated, and inequality increased; and of how this country, unique among the world’s advanced economies, has thwarted universal healthcare.
But in unlikely places of worship and work, McGhee finds proof of what she calls the Solidarity Dividend: gains that come when people come together across race, to accomplish what we simply can’t do on our own.
McGhee marshals economic and sociological research to paint a story of racism’s costs, but at the heart of the book are the humble stories of people yearning to be part of a better America, including white supremacy’s collateral victims: white people themselves. With startling empathy, this heartfelt message from a Black woman to a multiracial America leaves us with a new vision for a future in which we finally realize that life can be more than a zero-sum game.

In psychiatry, an ‘idée fixe’ is a thought that so dominates the mind that it becomes the pivot of an obsessive mental illness. The public conversation in the United States is an obsessive insanity built around the idée fixe of “white” racism and “of color” resistance. Why have the leaders of government, education, and corporations become deranged babblers of this fixation? Here’s why. They needed a lie so gigantic that it could enable them permanently to get away with crimes against this nation and her people.
…
Biden, get the words of color code out of your lying, demented mouth. Oprah Winfrey, get whiteness out of your race-baiting mouth. The pathetic, billionaire heinie-sniffers, Harry Whineser and Markel — she a loose-tailed heifer — get the word “white” out of your mouths. All of you who have stolen our nation’s happiness and brotherhood to control the people with your hateful lies, get the white-shaming out of your mouths. We are not white-colored people. Cancel back any liar who calls you white.

alnilam, nice find. This has been gearing up since the 1990’s. It’s tearing america apart. One group of people are going to be ultimately blamed for this. Their anti-white bias has been unchecked for decades. We’re not there yet, though.

Are you guys saving up all the race baiting material on earth and dribbling it out, rather like the authors dribble on themselves, a day at a time?
Anyone who finds this kind of material profound is dumber than a box of potatoes.
