As a research scientist specializing in Africana phenomenology, I have dedicated my career to understanding our society’s complex mechanisms perpetuating racial hierarchies. Through years of study and observation, I’ve conceptualized these mechanisms as a form of technology – tools, techniques, and systems designed to maintain racial power structures. I first came to know the term and technology of race in an interview I had with sociologist Michael Kilman, who introduced me to Dr. Thomas Biolisi, a prominent scholar at the University of California, Berkeley who is a professor in the Department of Ethnic Studies, where he specializes in research related to American Indians, governmentality, race and racism, and Indigenous ecological knowledge and practices.

(Power, 2024)
In the darkest recesses of American history lies the haunting specter of KKK gatherings, colloquially termed as ‘lynching picnics.’ These grotesque displays of violence served as a fulcrum for white supremacist indoctrination and community bonding over acts of terror. Such events were meticulously designed to entrench the mythos of white superiority within the public consciousness, thereby exacerbating the chasm of racial disparities. The casual nature with which these atrocities were committed – often in broad daylight and with the tacit or overt approval of local authorities – underscores a pernicious legacy of sanctioned brutality against the African American community.
