Overview of The End of Race Politics

Coleman Hughes boldly challenges modern anti-racism, arguing it's creating "neoracism" rather than equality. Endorsed by intellectual heavyweights like Steven Pinker and Sam Harris, this controversial manifesto revives MLK's colorblind vision. What if our obsession with racial identity is the very barrier to progress?

America stands at a profound crossroads in its centuries-long struggle with race. Coleman Hughes's "The End of Race Politics" offers a provocative thesis: what if our obsession with race is making racism worse, not better? This young philosopher challenges prevailing narratives about racism while offering a path forward rooted in principles that once united the civil rights movement. As racial tensions dominate headlines and shape policy, Hughes invites us to reconsider our fundamental assumptions about race, racism, and the path toward genuine equality.
