American democracy is in the peril. And racism will be the sledgehammer that destroys it | Kimberle W Crenshaw
Briefly

Racism has historically underpinned American democracy, influencing land theft and the oppression of Black women, which current anti-democratic forces aim to erase.
The fight against woke ideology transcends critical race theory; it targets Black history, the civil rights movement, and threatens the foundations of multiracial democracy.
Mainstream media's failure to highlight racism's role in our democratic decline obscures the dangerous intersections of anti-democratic sentiments and racial injustice.
Without acknowledging the racist narratives that exclude certain groups, society cannot confront the fascist tendencies that threaten the structure of democracy.
