At a recent rally, President Donald Trump got cheers from supporters as he positioned himself and his administration as an important line of defense in the supposed “War on Thanksgiving,” an evocative image of the threat posed by progressives to America’s cherished cultural traditions, as they wish to include a more inclusive narrative of the holiday’s history.
A clearer example of the racially divisive attitudes harbored and perhaps even enabled by this administration is represented by White House adviser, Stephen Miller. Miller was recently found to have written hundreds of emails demonstrating his support for white nationalist ideology.
Whether spinning wild conspiracy theories about Thanksgiving or pushing xenophobic policy proposals, Trump officials have done little to foster racial and socioeconomic solidarity. So why are such extremist views tolerated in America?
As a sociologist who studies race relations, I argue that feelings of racial identity threat are behind this tolerance. These feelings are not limited to white people but occur among both those in the cultural majority and those on the cultural margins as they work to hold onto and attain cultural citizenship.
Cultural citizenship is the achievement of full, unabridged membership in a social group.
Beyond politics, what might it look like in our daily lives to be racially expansive in our definition of cultural citizenship? We must model multiculturalism in every interaction, establishing connections and trust between neighbors, coworkers, teachers, students and friends.
Racial identity threat is at the heart of racial division in this country, as whites strive to hold on to a narrow definition of cultural citizenship and people of color strive to broaden it. If we can expand the notion of what “fitting in” means, maybe we can reduce the anxiety people of all races feel about having and holding onto their piece of the pie.

Lord, does she ever have that look that screams ‘spineless urbanite’.
She should abort herself for the cause.
Racists are people who are obsessed with race and make everything about race and call anyone who disagrees with anything they say racist.
With the Race Card having been played to death and more and more folks not giving a crap it isn’t white racial identity that’s losing its value.
Squanto was a Christian.
Interesting intro to her work. Novel. Same buzz words and buzz sentences are very familiar in graduate level fairy land of academia for the last 40 years or so. Plagiarism remains alive and well for these racially charged fire starters. First class mini-segregationist. Hardly American.
September 2018:
Following a growing trend in higher education, a Dartmouth professor called for mandatory white privilege courses. Dr. Emily Walton wrote an op-ed in USA Today calling for all students to take courses in white privilege and black history. She accuses white people of being afflicted with “white blindness” or a state in which racial privilege is invisible. She also claims the K-12 public schools perpetuate “white blindness” (read discrimination) by not mandating ethnic studies classes. To top it off, she equates the meritocratic system of hard work with white discrimination against minorities.
Racist - Someone who disagrees with a Leftist
White Americans barely have a racial identity. It’s been systematically destroyed by the racist Left.
Men pretending to be women. Whites pretending to be black. White women pretending to be Indians... I am trying to find that story of someone pretending to be white so as to cash in on all that value being white brings.
we've built up a nice good and generally peaceful and prosperous nation and the illegals, mostly from Africa, are destroying it with their violence, their aggression, their ugly personas.....they do not have social values at all.....

It may be time to emigrate to Kenya and start calling for the abolition of blackness.
Race scholar alright
That’s the biggest racial panderer in the country. I bet she never says a word about black crime
#1. To Emily, a heartfelt “BULLSHIT”. “Thanksgiving” as a holiday and concept is for all decent Americans (and legal immigrants who want to become Americans) as a holiday to give “thanks” for us being here and not in some Third World disease, corruption, war and religious/racist perpetual war-state (Nigeria, Somalia, Yemen, Algeria, Burma, Indonesia to some degree, So. Africa on its way, Zimbabwe was, Kenya, Libya, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, parts of India, etc.
She is more of a “race-baiter and divider” than a “race scholar”. Scholarship implies honesty in work and word. She seems to lack in those areas.
Because the Left is obsessed with identity politics.
