Tanya Talks - Nola Haynes, Racism is my boogieman

One of the Tanya Talks that took place at the 2021 WCAPS Conference. Nola speaks about what national security is and is not. She works to distinguish between its two functions of dealing with material and ideational threats. This distinction helps frame why a problem like white supremacist ideology is in fact a matter of national security. From there she goes on to talk about how security policy and identity (race, ethnicity and religion) have long intersected, going back to the legalization of chattel slavery, Chinese Exclusion Acts, to the Patriot Act… Video by YouTube channel.
