Challenging Privilege, Colonialism, Racism & Post racial America mantra
Given the recent economic change to free market over the past 20 years around the world, Milton Freedman logical of running a Capitalist, globally interconnected economy & the rapid spread of globalizing Western culture (once through European colonialism & now American influence ie corporations such as Ford, New York Company & Coca Cola) wonder ones has racismo really ended? Can we now finally with a new American president Barack Obama as the first African American president in U.S. history & the creation of a multipolar world via rise of China, Brazil, Venezuela, Russia, etc. can we all rest easier? Can we forgive Eurocentrism for making European culture the status quo for most of the world even today? Can Globalization answer: why is the non western world stereotyped, our concerns ignored and voices muted in the media? Whose voices do we hear most on the radio? Why is Europe always humanized, "normal" and ordinary compared to Asia, Africa, Americas? Why is the non western world still considered complex, "exotic" and controversial newswise? What is the history of normalizing Europe and Anglo-America and what are the consequence in a globalized world as ours? And has the U.S. become a post racial society as President, his supporters and the "forget about the past injustices" media pundits, conservative historians and right wing talk show hosts say? Pitcher looks at all of the above below.
