Capitalism, Racism, and Trumpism: Whitelash and the Politics of Oppression
That the rising tide of fascism, headwinds of neoliberalism, or persistence of racism in the United States is institutional, systemic, and part of a long history of oppression towards various groups is not new news. The bigger question is how we got to a point in which overt manifestations of racism, sexism, faux democracy, and other forms of illegality and authoritarianism has once again become normalized. What does it mean when a sitting Presid…
The Continuing Challenges of Humanist Sociology
Humanist sociology has long faced challenges in remaining relevant amid mainstream sociology and ongoing political and economic turmoil. This piece explores the “science in service of humanity” tenets of humanist sociology in the face of challenges and changes of the twenty-first century. Drawing on humanist sociologists of the past to guide this discussion, it also explores how sociologists can survive and thrive amid cultural divisiveness, dist…
Racial Capitalism and Whitelash: Trumpism and the Politics of Oppression Redux–A New Normal or Just New Perfume in an Old Bottle
There is no question that Donald Trump’s actions in his second presidential term have many people bewildered, shocked, and frightened. What was deemed “not normal” in his first term in office has quickly become the “new normal.” In this paper, we argue that part of the explanation for the rise, and repeated rise, of Trumpism lies in Donald Trump’s ability to fuel and maintain a whitelash against the social progress of the 20th and early 21st cent…
Feeling” immigration: How racist nativism and racialized emotions shape American attitudes toward immigration
Racialized Emotions: Happiness and Pleasure in American Racism
This article addresses Dr. Eduardo Bonilla‐Silva's challenge to examine positive emotions as part of racism, a concept he labeled Racialized Emotions . For good reason, contemporary scholars often emphasize negative attitudes and emotions associated with modern‐day racism and how they hinder support for racial policies and political actors. However, we argue that reflections on racially controversial policies and political actors can produce posi…
Are Refugees Really Welcome? Understanding Northern Ireland Attitudes Towards Syrian Refugees
In 2018, Northern Ireland (NI) government officials, journalists, and preliminary research declared that NI citizens had provided a ‘welcoming society’ to Syrian refugees settling in local communities across the country. However, this claim starkly contrasted with other reports of growing violence towards foreign-born groups, particularly Muslims, which lead to NI being identified as the ‘Race Hate Capital of Europe.’ Using the 2015 Northern Irel…

Protecting Whiteness: Whitelash and the Rejection of Racial Equality
Insights into the racialized fear of change in US society The standoff at Cliven Bundy’s ranch, the rise of white identity activists on college campuses, and the viral growth of white nationalist videos on YouTube vividly illustrate the resurgence of white supremacy and overt racism in the United States. White resistance to racial equality can be subtle as well—like art museums that enforce their boundaries as elite white spaces, “right on crime”…
Veiled Threats: Color-Blind Frames and Group Threat in Affirmative Action Discourse
This research examines the way color-blind rhetorical techniques are used by supporters and opponents in legal documents submitted to the latest U.S. Supreme court case on affirmative action. Eduardo Bonilla-Silva posited that color-blind ideology is the dominant racial ideology in the United States. We focused our critical discourse analysis particularly on the use of color-blind frames as described by Bonilla-Silva. This research also assesses …
Heritage or hate
The Confederate flag has been a hotly debated symbol of heritage or hate in the United States. In 2015, 54 per cent of Americans polled saw the flag as a symbol of ‘Southern pride’ whereas 34 per cent saw it as racist. However, 27 per cent of Whites compared to 69 per cent of Blacks saw the flag as racist. In this article, I suggest how instructors can better explain this controversial topic within an America society that is ‘post-race’. First, I…

Playing the “Immigrant Card”: Reflections of Color-blind Rhetoric within Southern Attitudes on Immigration
Polls measuring attitudes on immigration suggest that Americans generally agree that immigration is good for the United States. However, these same polls suggest that Americans support strict border enforcement and racial profiling to curtail illegal immigration. These same mixed responses about immigration also characterize southern views, particularly in new immigrant destinations. Drawing on 180 in-depth interviews from southern college studen…
Group Position, Threat, and Immigration: The Role of Interest Groups and Elite Actors in Setting the “Lines of Discussion
The purpose of this paper is to move research on racial attitudes away from studying intraindividual attitudes toward studying broader structural factors that contribute to the attitudes and feelings of U.S. citizens. We focus on how interest groups and elite actors play a role in shaping the discourse on immigrants and the immigration debate in the twenty-first century. Herbert Blumer posed that over time, the dominant group develops certain fee…
This ain't Chicago: Race, class, and regional identity in the post-soul South

Mexican immigrant experiences with discrimination in southern Appalachia
One Day on the Red Hills of Georgia”: The Effects of Immigration Status on Latino Migrants’ Experience of Discrimination, Utilization of Public Services, and Attitudes toward Acculturation
This study documents the experiences and identities of undocumented Spanish-speaking migrants in Georgia vis-à-vis their counterparts who have legal status. Structured interviews were used to collect data from 127 adults (49 percent undocumented at their time of arrival and 38 percent undocumented at the time of data collection) regarding their experience of discrimination, utilization of services, identity preferences, mental health, and beliefs…
Beyond Bigotry: Teaching about Unconscious Prejudice
Researchers have demonstrated that unconscious prejudices around characteristics such as race, gender, and class are common, even among people who avow themselves unbiased. The authors present a method for teaching about implicit racial bias using online Implicit Association Tests. The authors do not claim that their method rids students of biases. Instead, the authors show that this approach helps students recognize that they and many other peop…
Latino Health Care in Southern Appalachia a Community-Engaged Examination
Between 2007 and 2009, we created a research-based community partnership to identify and assess the health care needs of Latino 1 families in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina. This report presents the survey and focus group findings for 159 Latinos concerning their views of health care services and barriers to accessing resources. Only 20 percent of the sample reported health as a major concern in their daily lives; however, notable pr…
Racist Nativism in the 21st Century
Since the 1960s, academia and the public have frequently used racism as the catch‐all phrase to explain any racial or ethnic injustice identified in America. However, are the disparities domestic minorities face the same as those faced by immigrant minorities? For example, journalists have suggested that the various state immigration policies targeting Hispanic immigrants in the United States recently are as racist as the Jim Crow laws enacted de…
Being Brown in Dixie: Race, Ethnicity, and Latino Immigration in the New South
The authors explore how the dramatic influx of Latino populations in the US South has challenged and changed traditional conceptions of race
Humorous Assaults on Patriarchal Ideology
Humor is a significant weapon in interpersonal and intergroup conflict and competition. Over the centuries, males have used humor and jokes to create and perpetuate patriarchal ideals, relationships, and structures. Today, feminists and other proponents of gender equality use humor to deconstruct patriarchal ideologies and sexist stereotypes. This exploratory study analyzes a collection of over 1,700 jokes identified as feminist and women's humor…
Jobs, Poverty, and Earnings in American Metropolises: Do Immigrants Really Hurt the Economic Outcomes of Blacks
We contribute to the debate about the effects of immigration in the United States by analyzing the impact of recent (1980-2000) immigration on the economic outcomes of African Americans. We use Census 2000 data for a sample of 150 U.S. metropolitan areas to examine these outcomes. Our findings indicate that after controlling for a variety of theoretically relevant control variables, increases in recent immigration decrease labor force non-partici…
