Abstract
The fact that U.S. slavery has both officially ended and yet continues in many complex forms of institutionalized racism, makes its representation particularly burdensome. [...] As writer James Baldwin says, “there is scarcely any hope for the American dream because people who are denied participation in it, by their very presence will wreck it. [...] The facts are staring us in the face.” (Exterminate All the Brutes Episode 4, “The Bright Colors of Fascism,” 20:49–21:35)
