“Whites Did Not End Slavery” with Stephen Hicks

Join Atlas Society Senior Scholar and Professor of Philosophy at Rockford, Stephen Hicks, Ph.D., for a Spaces on Twitter/X where Dr. Hicks discussed why racialist language is wrong historically and philosophically. “Beware of racialist language. When revenge racism leads some to blame ‘whites’ for slavery, some respond by pointing out, accurately, that the battle against slavery was firstly and mostly accomplished by Europeans and North Americans. The dangerous temptation, though, is to adopt the same racialist premise and—instead of blaming ‘whites’ for slavery—crediting ‘whites’ with ending it.”
