Where does antiracism fall in the political universe?

Hi.



I'm posting this in the USA section because I presume this is from an American writer and I'm American as well and most interested in racism-related issues in America. So I consider the terms "liberal" and "conservative" here to refer to what they do in American politics.



I saw this:

It points out or claims some kind of hypocrisy or "racist" behavior on the part of "white liberals", and is from an "antiracist" perspective. I presume from the author's avatar that they are not "white". So the implication seems to be that "real" antiracism is in fact not compatible with "white liberalism". But it sure doesn't seem compatible with many conservatives, either. Certainly not the nutjob racist stormfront.org whacko types, or even the "Obama is a KENYAN!" types, at least. There also appear to be pieces in which "conservatism" is attacked as well. So both ends of the political spectrum are attacked.



Also, it seems that much antiracist work involves the so-called "critical race theory", which deals with and "deconstructs" race as a social construct:

One thing mentioned that this does is:

Quote:

A critique of liberalism: CRT scholars favor a more aggressive approach to social transformation as opposed to liberalism's more cautious approach, favor a race conscious approach to transformation rather than liberalism's embrace of color blindness, and favor an approach that relies more on political organizing, in contrast to liberalism's reliance on rights-based remedies.[15]

So where does antiracism fall in the political universe? "Black liberalism"? "People-of-color Liberalism"? Not liberalism at all?! As I've always thought it is in the "liberal" part of the universe. Or are the authors not denying that it is liberal, but rather making a critique against behavior of "white liberals" that they do not feel is compatible with their espoused position? But if it's not liberal nor conservative, what do you call it? What kind of political diagram does it fall upon?



I want to point out that this is not a thread for discussing whether or not the named behaviors really are racist, just what is being implied by this with regards to antiracism's position in the political universe, which is something I have been left puzzled by in light of these things which I have come across in my examinations of it.
