By unpacking the way in which the concept of ‘white privilege’ is taking over as a shortcut in the analysis of racism, this article assesses its use in anti-racist movements. Using the author’s experiences as both an academic and an activist of colour in the Netherlands, it focuses on two schisms that are emerging in social movements. The first schism pits class-based against race-based analyses. The second schism is a questioning of solidarity politics, also marked by the rise of political articulations in terms of personalised and skin-colour based positions, with terminologies such as ‘non-black-people-of-colour’ (NBPoC), leading to implied hierarchies of oppression. Drawing on the conceptual legacies of radical black thinkers and activists, from W. E. B. Du Bois, and A. Sivanandan to Assata Shakur and Angela Davis, the article asks how to recover and meaningfully engage with radical universalist principles as a means of overcoming such ‘shortcuts’ whilst fighting racism. The piece builds on an understanding of ‘radical kinship’ and proposes internationalism as a way to recreate a dynamic anti-racist, anti-capitalist movement at a time when racism is on the rise.

“白人特权”和反种族主义的捷径

通过解开“白人特权”概念作为分析种族主义的捷径的方式,本文评估了它在反种族主义运动中的使用。利用作者作为荷兰学者和有色人种活动家的经历,它着重于社会运动中出现的两种分裂。第一个分裂是基于阶级的分析与基于种族的分析。第二个分裂是对团结政治的质疑,其特征还在于在个性化和基于肤色的立场方面的政治表达的兴起,以及诸如“非黑人有色人种”(NBPoC)之类的术语,导致隐含的压迫等级。借鉴激进的黑人思想家和活动家的概念遗产,从 WEB Du Bois、A. Sivanandan 到 Assata Shakur 和 Angela Davis,文章询问如何恢复并有意义地参与激进的普遍主义原则,作为在与种族主义作斗争的同时克服此类“捷径”的一种手段。这篇文章建立在对“激进亲属关系”的理解之上,并提出国际主义作为一种在种族主义抬头的时候重建充满活力的反种族主义、反资本主义运动的方式。
