Im happy to tip a generous amount. The amount of the tip will reflect the feedback I get from the final product you compose. Please only choose this prompt if you have an in depth history of the racial injustices of this country- specifically black American history.
Please respond to the prompt below. You should cite at least 3 outside scholarly sources and you are encouraged but not required to cite non-scholarly sources that are relevant to your thinking as well (i.e., artistic, journalistic, or other non-academic sources).

Minimum of 8 double spaced pages, APA style citing format
Prompt:
The first two paper prompts have asked you to consider the systemic, institutional, ideological, cultural, and other forms of racism that created and sustain racial inequality in the United States. In this paper, I would like you to consider how one might approach a reform or revolutionary agenda to durably halt the cycle of racial caste that Alexander identified in The New Jim Crow.
How does real change happen? Changing the culture? Reforming institutions? Tearing down old institutions and creating new ones? What might a real dismantling white supremacist systems look like to you? How do we achieve your vision?
In your response, please be sure to directly address the main proposal of the Coates essay, “The Case for Reparations,” in which he writes, “A crime that implicates the entire American people deserves its hearing in the legislative body that represents them. John Conyers’s HR 40 is the vehicle for that hearing.”
I specifically want to see engagement with the following sources in order for you to achieve full credit for the paper: Michelle Alexander The New Jim Crow Ch. 6, Ashley Jardina White Identity Politics, and Coates.
