Popular lecturer Dante King is back. This time to delve deeper into how anti-blackness emerged as a philosophy in Christian American academic institutions and still permeates our present cultural landscape. 

In conversation with Marguerite M. Malloy, King will reveal, emphasize and discuss anti-Blackness as an academic philosophy that emerged as a foundational subject through Christian American academic institutions. He will provide a pattern of examples of academic philosophers whose theories and practices served to shape and cement delusional ideas about White superiority, Black inferiority, and America's overall socio-cultural relationship with Black people (specifically African Americans). He shows that anti-Black phenomena and principles were firmly and deeply rooted within the European/White colonial Christian church and served as the bedrock for the ensuing educational landscape that emerged throughout the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The impacts of this miseducation combined with the legal and economic disenfranchisement of Black people can be seen and felt today.  

Dante King is a native of San Francisco, California. He is an author of the new book The 400-Year Holocaust: White America's Legal, Psychopathic, and Sociopathic Black Genocide and the Revolt Against Critical Race Theory. King is also a professor of American History, African American History, and Black Studies. His research interests include the intersections of race, racism, and legality throughout pre-and-post colonial America. King currently serves as guest faculty at the University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine (UCSF), as well as the Mayo Clinic.
