@jcbecker93 Great thread here! Many of these points are made in Thomas Boston’s A Different Vision (2 vol) and in the theory of stratification Econ by Darity and Hamilton. A big part of why these frames were/are successful is that they are egocentric and race is ad hoc. Econs love that...
@jcbecker93 More specifically, there really aren’t any groups in the model who might derive pecuniary gains from discrimination. There’s no social hierarchy and there is no racial context. This also means Econs have been thinking about race in deeply flawed ways for a very, very long time
