Abstract

Abstract Republican politicians unabashedly condemn the use of critical race theory (CRT) as a pedagogical framework for educators. While most Democrats have quickly come to the defense of CRT, even they are socialized through White supremacist practices. Connecting CRT to the theory of impression management, this paper reveals how Minnesota politicians (both Republicans and Democrats) and government officials used Twitter during a pivotal time in U.S. history—the murder of George Floyd. Examining these theories in relation to the faces of whiteness, we reveal how language of support by government officials and Republican and Democrat politicians may perpetuate White supremacy in overt and camouflaged ways.

推特和白人的面孔:调查官方对乔治·弗洛伊德之死的反应

共和党政治家们毫不掩饰地谴责使用批判种族理论(CRT)作为教育工作者的教学框架。虽然大多数民主党人很快就开始为CRT辩护，但即使是他们也被白人至上主义者的做法社会化了。本文将CRT与印象管理理论联系起来，揭示了明尼苏达州政客(共和党和民主党)和政府官员在美国历史上的关键时期——乔治·弗洛伊德谋杀案——是如何使用Twitter的。将这些理论与白人面孔的关系进行检验，我们揭示了政府官员、共和党和民主党政客的支持语言如何以公开和伪装的方式使白人至上主义永久化。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
