Racial Capitalism, Power & Resistance: Dr. Barbara Ransby

In October 2019, NFG's Funders for a Just Economy (FJE) held a breakthrough Racial Capitalism, Power and Resistance Convening (RCPR), an unprecedented conversation on the racial and gendered inequality defining US and global capitalism - and the role of philanthropy within these structures. This is a recording of the keynote, Racial Capitalism, Power and Black Radical Tradition, from Dr. Barbara Ransby, Distinguished Professor of African American Studies, Gender and Women’s Studies, and History at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

How many cultures in the world had slavery? Answer all cultures and races have had slavery . Not just the US.

[@kipwonder2233]

A common yet IRRELEVANT refrain. Reparations were paid to Jews by Germany...even though genocide was practiced in many cultures prior to Nazi Germany. Also, no other country has labeled itself the land of freedom and democracy. Finally, why would American Blacks be concerned with slavery in other places??? If your daughter was raped, you would NOT be comforted by the fact that thousands of other women have also been raped. You people...🤦
