This article shows why praxis matters. The Guardian does a good job of presenting different sides but doesn't really confront the structuralist assumptions at the center of the argument.

Most articles like this try to force a shared meaning between groups rather than allow these groups to create meaning together outside the dominant structure that separated them.

I know a black man who went to one of the big castles in Ghana that used to hold slave markets. He was shocked and humbled to find out that his family name is shared with some of the leaders that ran the slave markets in the past. He doesn't like to talk about it.
