About this listen

Dark Racism examines how racism persists in modern society without relying on overt hatred or explicit language. Rather than focusing on individual prejudice, the book reveals how inequality is produced and sustained through policies, economic incentives, and institutions that present themselves as neutral and fair. Racism's harm today is often bureaucratic, procedural, and normalized—making it harder to see, easier to deny, and more difficult to challenge.

Through clear analysis of law enforcement, housing policy, healthcare access, and economic structures, Dark Racism shows how power operates quietly. The book explains how “law and order,” zoning, funding formulas, and administrative discretion repeatedly create unequal outcomes while public attention is diverted toward culture wars, symbolism, and language debates.

The audiobook challenges the idea that progress is primarily a matter of better attitudes or better words. It argues that racism endures because it is economically useful, politically stabilizing, and institutionally protected. By shifting focus away from individual intent and toward structural design, Dark Racism gives listeners a framework for understanding why disparities persist even in an era where racism is widely condemned.

Direct, unsentimental, and accessible, Dark Racism is for listeners who want to understand how inequality actually functions today—and why meaningful change requires confronting systems, not just beliefs.
