Negative Infinity – the final book of The Fatigue of Racism – provides the personal thread that completes the empirical weave.
Terry Darell Caldwell, born in 1991, raised by his great‑grandmother Bessie Mae Price, takes the reader through the experiences that cracked the lens of race.
A witness’s chain of custody:
Growing up hearing the shift from “Black” to “African American” and back to “Black” – a pendulum between respectability and militancy.
The Dolezal contradiction: if race is a social construct, why did the NAACP police Dolezal’s biological ancestry?
The NAACP’s internal contradictions: honoring Donald Sterling, firing Shirley Sherrod, aligning with Big Oil.
The distinction his great‑grandmother taught: prejudice vs. racism – and why flattening it has paralyzed public discourse.
The definitional shift: how “racism” was redefined from a psychological to a structural category while he was building his life outside academia.
The white attorney who defended a guilty Black teenager pro bono – and dropped all charges. That moment taught Caldwell that class, not race, is the more precise proxy.
Why the author refuses the script: He does not hate white people. He does not believe wealthy rappers speak for him.
He does not believe Jussie Smollett. He does not avoid “white” education.
He believes in evidence.
The series provides the evidence. The reader provides the will. This is the witness’s testimony.
