Confronting Racism by Dismantling the Illusion of RaceOur returning guest today is Dr. Sheena Mason, a powerhouse in the world of anti-racism and the author of the brand-new book, *The Raceless Anti-Racist*. If you've ever questioned the role of race in society or wondered how we can dismantle the structures that perpetuate racism, this conversation is going to challenge and inspire you. Dr. Mason is an assistant professor of English at SUNY Oneonta and holds a PhD from Howard University, specializing in Africana and American literature and philosophy of race. But what really sets her apart is her innovative approach to understanding race—or, more accurately, the illusion of it. In her new book, she takes concepts from her more academic work, *Theory of Racelessness*, that  you may remember us discussing back in DTH episode 127, and makes them accessible to a broader audience.We're going to dive into the heart of that theory. Dr. Mason and I will explore how the internalization of oppression affects us all, the very real material impacts of racism, and how tools like the 'Togetherness Wayfinder' and 'Raceless Translator' can bring people together. We'll also tackle some tough questions: What role do media, government, and capitalism play in maintaining racial divisions? And how do we dismantle the illusion of race to truly confront racism head-on?TakeawaysDr. Sheena Mason's new book, 'The Raceless Anti-Racist,' is geared towards a wider audience and introduces the concept of the Togetherness Wayfinder.Recognizing the internalization of oppression and the material impacts of racism is crucial in dismantling racism.The Togetherness Wayfinder aims to bring people together and find common humanity in the face of contentious issues. Racialization as white does not equate to experiencing anti-white racism, but rather the effects of anti-black racism.The media, government, and capitalism play a role in perpetuating divisions and maintaining hierarchies.The Raceless Translator is a tool that helps interpret race in terms of culture, ethnicity, social class, and the causes and effects of racism.Engaging in conversations and exposing oneself to different perspectives is crucial for bridging divides and promoting understanding.Learn more about and connect with Dr. Sheena Mason by checking out the full show notes at www.DerateTheHate.comWhat have you done today to make your life a better life?

I had the distinct pleasure of speaking with the Assistant Professor of English at Oneonta State University of New York and author of the forthcoming book “The Raceless Antiracist: Why Ending Race is the Future of Antiracism”, Dr. Sheena Mason, about the core tenets of the theory of racelessness, racialization as dehumanization, neosegregation, the business...

For anyone who's been tuned into Conceptually Speaking for a while, you know I love finding new approaches, perspectives, and frames to tackle complex issues. Despite the fact that's a staple on the show, my guest for this episode, Dr. Sheena Mason, takes things to the next level. Dr. Mason is an author, professor, and creator of the theory of racelenss. A theory that, in her words, is a creative and forward-thinking approach that helps people stop the underlying causes and effects of racism—the existence of race itself. Unlike naturalists, who see race as biological, or constructionists, who regard race as a social construction, Dr. Mason invites readers to become race skeptics—in other words—to understand that what traits we attribute to race, can be more accurately described by terms like ethnicity, culture, social class, and economic class. For, as she argues in her upcoming book, The Raceless Antiracist, fighting racism by reifying the idea of race is like trying to stop a flood by dousing it with water. In short, Dr. Mason envisions a future that transcends race in ways that allow us to celebrate our shared humanity AND value our many differences. Building on sociologists like Karen and Barba Fields, authors like Toni Morrison and James Baldwin, as well as a bevy of literary scholars and critics, Dr. Mason's work is paradigm-shifting work. So! Hold onto your brains, listen with an open mind, and brace yourself for a very different look at antiracism work. Note: The introduction contains some direct verbiage from the "Racelessness: The Final Frontier" graphic essay.https://www.theoryofracelessness.org/https://twitter.com/SheenaMasonPhDThe core rules of the theory of racelessness or raceless antiracism are as follows: Our belief in “race” and practice of racialization are not meaningless, because racism and valuable aspects of humanity hide behind what we call “race.” “Race” does not exist in nature for humans or as a social construction. Although we are all racialized by ourselves and others, we are raceless. Race/ism (i.e., racism) is a system of economic and social oppression that requires the belief in “race” and the practice of racialization to subsequently reinforce various power imbalances. Racialization is the process of applying an inescapable social hierarchy—race/ism—along with its attendant power imbalances. Racism does not exist everywhere in the same way and can be overcome.Support the show

What is the Theory of Racelessness?Have you ever heard of the theory of racelessness? What if there were no such thing as race, if race as a "thing" did not exist? Would we then be able to conquer racism? It's not a hard theory to grab a hold of if you try. This week's guest has developed the Theory of Racelessness. Who is Dr. Sheena Mason?Sheena Michele Mason earned her Ph.D. in English literature from Howard University in Washington DC USA. In August 2021, she joined the faculty at SUNY Oneonta as an Assistant Professor in English. Her first book Theory of Racelessness: A Case For Antirace(ism), a textbook, presents an alternative philosophy of race and the theory of racelessness, an analytical and teaching framework for understanding "race" and stopping racism and its effects. It also presents a philosophy of race, culture, and ethnicity. Inspired by her theory, she co-founded Theory of Racelessness, an educational firm that helps people use alternative philosophies of race and her theory to achieve truly antiracist outcomes. Her second book that presents her theory to a broader audience is due to be released in 2023. The theory of racelessness helps more people undo racism by undoing their belief in "race" and unintentional upholding of racism, by extension. Website: https://www.theoryofracelessness.org Twitter: @SheenaMasonPhDTopics of discussion:What is the Theory of RacelessnessConnecting one's identity to raceUsing racialization to institute inferior and superior "classes""Together" (UHR) Unify, Heal, Reconcile VS.

The Theory of Racelessness argues that Race does not exist in nature. Race does not exist as a social construction. Everyone is raceless. Racism includes the belief in race as biological or a construction and the practice of racialization. Racism is not everywhere and is not the cause for every perceived “racial” disparity or negative interaction. Racism can be overcome. The Theory of Racelessness is the brain child of scholar, teacher, and writer Dr. Sheena Mason, who earned her Ph.D. in English literature “with distinction” in May 2021 from Howard University. She joined the faculty at SUNY Oneonta in Oneonta, NY, in August 2021, as a tenure-track Assistant Professor in African American literature. She has taught at the College of William and Mary, California Lutheran University, and Howard University. Her book titled Theory of Racelessness: A Case for Philosophies of Antirace(ism) is scheduled to be released by Palgrave Macmillan on September 23, 2022. Additionally, she co-authored “Harlem Renaissance: An Interpretation of Racialized Art and Ethics,” a chapter of the forthcoming Oxford Handbook of Ethics and Art examining what, if anything, is the proper role of race in the aesthetic productions of or about members of racialized populations.

Dr. Sheena Mason is an author and professor of African American Literature that has developed a controversial and groundbreaking concept to fight racism known as the "Theory of Racelessness".  In this episode Sheena and Will discuss the common criticisms of her theory, how racelessness is not colorblindness, and why she believes that in order to defeat racism, we must eliminate the societal construct of RACE. 

In this episode, we speak in-depth with Dr. Sheena Mason about her 'Theory of Racelessness,' whether race is a biological reality or a social construct, how racism creates race and not the other way around, the conflation of race with culture, class, and ethnicity, Whoopi Goldberg's views on race and the Holocaust, the difficulty of communicating racelessness to the public, common pushbacks and misconceptions to Theory of Racelessness, and whether a raceless future is even possible. Dr Sheena earned her Ph.D. “with distinction” from Howard University in Washington and is currently a tenure-track Assistant Professor in African American Literature at SUNY Oneonta. She is also the President and Co-Founder of the educational firm Theory of Racelessness, as well as the author of the forthcoming book, Theory of Racelessness: A Case For Antirace(ism), which presents a skeptical and eliminativist philosophy of race and racism.

The last time I discussed race on this show was with Dr Robin DiAngelo and I found myself on Greg Gutfeld's show on Fox News. I mean I wasn't "on" per se, as Greg and his panel were showing and discussing clips from my show. Next time ask for permission, ok? I wonder if he'll be watching on Monday at a special time of 10am EST when I sit down with Dr Sheena Mason, author of the upcoming book, “Theory of Racelessness: A Case For Antirace(ism)” I'm not going to lie…I don't know if I fully understand all the theory behind it, but that's why I have the author on the show to explain! We'll discuss unifying and healing, and together…we can do anything! Then Gregarious Narain will provide his weekly segment on entrepreneurship and selling.

In this episode of The Forum Podcast, Dr. Sheena Mason (Theory of Racelessness) returns for another timely deep dive into the Theory of Racelessness, which reflects two philosophical positions on “race” that are uncommonly taught & commonly misunderstood: skepticism—the belief that race does not exist in nature—& eliminativism—the position that the concept of race, whatever it is, should be eradicated from human society. Dr. Sheena Mason's theory of racelessness is a methodological & pedagogical framework for analysis that illustrates how the undoing of racism requires the undoing of “race.” Her theory inspires a more astute identification & analysis of racism. It stops the unintentional reification of racism by ceasing to uphold race ideology and its corresponding language. Theory of racelessness is also a philosophy of race that extends & explores the boundaries of racial skepticism & delineates more precise paths toward racial eliminativism, which she interprets as enabling us to transcend racism finally. Such transcendence allows us to recognize our individual & collective cultural & ethnic pluralism, a prerequisite awareness that leads society toward embracing a genuinely liberal cosmopolitanism. The theory of racelessness reflects two philosophical positions on “race” that are uncommonly taught & commonly misunderstood: skepticism—the belief that race does not exist in nature—& eliminativism—the position that the concept of race, whatever it is, should be eradicated from human society. The core tenets of the theory of racelessness are as follows: Race does not exist in nature. Race does not exist as a social construction. Everyone is raceless. Racism includes the belief in race as biological or a construction & the practice of racialization. Racism is not everywhere & is not the cause for every perceived “racial” disparity or negative interaction. We can overcome racism. Her forthcoming book Theory of Racelessness: A Case for Antirace(ism) (2022)—under contract with Palgrave Macmillan as part of an African American & Africana philosophy series—describes, defines, & applies my signature theory to African American literary studies, a representative case study.

In the Hold my Drink — navigating culture with a chaser of civility, and Counterweight podcast, Episode 56, we speak to Dr. Sheena Mason, the Founder of the Theory of Racelessness. By continuing to label people and stuff them into different racial categories or boxes, Sheena argues that we are perpetuating racism. While there may be different cultures and ethnicities, race doesn't exist. Until we recognize that conflating ethnicity and culture with race is a false equivalence, we will forever be in a cycle of race(ism). She suggests that the way out of this is to imagine a new identity that accepts all our differences, our complexities, our history – that we see each other as Americans. All discussed with a chaser of civility, of course, and a peanut butter cup whiskey coffee.

The second in a planned series of dialogues between Sheena Mason (SUNY Oneonta) and Kevin Currie-Knight (East Carolina) on philosophies of race. In this dialogue, Sheena and Kevin flesh out the difference between saying that race is a social construction and (Sheena's position) that race isn't real in any sense. 3:23 - Kevin's Confusion: what is the difference between saying that race isn't real at all, and saying that race isn't biologically real but IS a social construct? 9:53 - If we can use racialized language reliably in every day life, how can we then say that race doesn't signify anything 'real' in some way? 19:31 - Is there a strategic difference between saying that race is real as a social construction and saying that race isn't real at all? The benefits of race skepticism.39:14 - How belief in the reality of race causes us to bungle so many conversations (such as the viral confrontation in Arizona State's multicultural center).55:47 - Does social constructionism about race lock you into racialized thinking in a way race skepticism doesn't? 1:02:48 - Is it an indefensible stereotype to call someone a "sellout" or "traitor" to their "race"?

In this episode of The Forum Podcast, Dr. Sheena Mason (Theory of Racelessness) deep dives into the concept of race and how by knowing more about race philosophy, we can begin to intentionally uproot racism in our everyday lives. Dr. Sheena Mason shares how the concept of race, while not rooted in biology or science, continues to be naturalized and viewed as something "of nature." The camouflaging of racism as race (i.e., race[ism]) remains, in large part, why many people and institutions have failed to entirely and meaningfully address racism even when actively participating in anti-racist efforts. With this in mind, Dr. Mason talks about and defines the philosophies of race as indicated through popular discourse, literature, and civil rights efforts. She will discuss further readings and ideas to consider. Ultimately, the podcast shows how many people unintentionally uphold racism. Importantly, she shares how we can stop. Learning Outcomes Listeners will know what the philosophies of race are Listeners will be able to identify where they stand philosophically Listeners will be able to think further about how their present philosophy might contradict their expressed aims --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/fwi/support
