Omni and Winant state that “For most of its existence… the U.S was a racial dictatorship… It is important to recognize that many respect, racial dictatorship is the norm against which all U.S politics must be measured” (179). Cammarota argues that white allies and white saviors???
discussing two films (overload, BlacKklansman and/or Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) how are the concepts of race represented? In what ways is the U.S still a racial dictatorship? Or is it not? What racial formation projects are shown in the films? Are white allies or savior present? DO the white characters work for the benefit of themselves or others? Use evidence for or against their statement from the films.
