a LATTO thought evaluates contemporary misperceptions about mixed raceness through the lenses of history, science studies, and personal perspectives in a way that is pro-Black, antiracist, and self-critical. The intent is to arm individuals with the clarity of how systems of law and power shape our feelings about who — not ‘what’ — we as individuals are so that we can begin to reshape the societies in which we collectively live. After all, we’re all already mixed. We’re simply taught to not see it that way.

a LATTO thought's first miniseries is a deep examination and comparison of America's inversely related and foundational racial mechanisms: blood quantum and the one drop rule.
Over the next three episodes, guests Kim TallBear (University of Alberta), Guy Emerson Mount (Auburn University), Doug Kiel (Northwestern University), Marilyn Vann (Founder and President of the Descendants of Freedmen of the Five Civilized Tribes Association), independent scholar Darnella Davis, Ariela Gross USC Gould School of Law), Zebulon Miletsky (Stony Brook University), Court Wheeler (grandson of Deputy Chief Perry Wheeler), and more will discuss the ways that a white supremacist federal nation racialized Native and Black bodies for different ends of domination.
