Summary of Karen E. Fields & Barbara J. Fields's Racecraft

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The practice of a double standard is the missing step between someone’s physical appearance and an invidious outcome. In a word, racism.

#2 Minority is a verbal prop that slips its literal meaning and its core definition, which is quantitative. It is used to justify a dragnet in which police round up all the black and Hispanic men in Oneonta, New York, in 1992.

#3 The will to classification is so fundamental to racecraft that it is impossible to understand American race relations without understanding it.

#4 Visualize the Afro-American professor, this time in New York City, flagging down a taxi in 2008. The African driver spots a soaked white traveler, and asks if he can pick up another traveler as well. The white traveler jumps, his face showing the portrait of fear.
