Overview of How to Be Less Stupid about Race

When the President Calls Countries "Shitholes" and Claims He's "Least Racist"

Something is deeply broken in how we talk about race. When a sitting president can label African nations "shithole countries" one day and insist he's "the least racist person" the next, we're living in a society that has lost its ability to recognize racism-even when it's screaming in our faces. This isn't just political theater. It's a symptom of what we might call "racial stupidity"-a profound ignorance about how racism actually works that has been baked into our institutions, our media, and our daily lives for centuries. Most of us never take classes on racism. Organizations rarely mandate meaningful diversity training. We stumble through conversations about race armed with nothing but good intentions and a vague sense that "being nice" is enough. But here's the uncomfortable truth: living in a racist society socializes all of us-regardless of our race-to be stupid about race. And this ignorance has devastating real-world consequences, from Starbucks employees calling police on Black men waiting for coffee to the persistent wealth gaps that no amount of "leaning in" can fix.
