Abstract

Abstract:It is widely known that Black Americans are significantly more likely to be killed by the police in the United States than white Americans. What is less widely known is that nearly half of all people killed by the police are people with disabilities. The aim of this article is to better understand the intersection of racism and ableism in the United States. Contributing to the growing literature at the intersection of philosophy of disability and critical philosophy of race, I argue that theories concerning white supremacy should take more seriously the ways in which it functions as a process and apparatus of making abled and disabled. I conclude by discussing why understanding white supremacy in this manner is a valuable coalitional tool in fights for social justice more generally.

残疾与白人至上

摘要：众所周知，在美国，黑人被警察杀害的可能性明显高于白人。鲜为人知的是，在被警察杀害的所有人中，近一半是残疾人。本文的目的是更好地理解美国种族主义和能力主义的交叉点。我认为，关于白人至上主义的理论应该更认真地对待它作为一种使有能力和有能力的人成为残疾人的过程和工具的作用。最后，我讨论了为什么以这种方式理解白人至上主义是更广泛地争取社会正义的宝贵联盟工具。

期刊介绍： The critical philosophy of race consists in the philosophical examination of issues raised by the concept of race, the practices and mechanisms of racialization, and the persistence of various forms of racism across the world. Critical philosophy of race is a critical enterprise in three respects: it opposes racism in all its forms; it rejects the pseudosciences of old-fashioned biological racialism; and it denies that anti-racism and anti-racialism summarily eliminate race as a meaningful category of analysis. Critical philosophy of race is a philosophical enterprise because of its engagement with traditional philosophical questions and in its readiness to engage critically some of the traditional answers.
