Antiracist movements politicized everyday racial experience once considered nonpolitical

Evidence

This terrain had previously been seen as largely irrational, disembodied, unrelated to politics, unconnected to power, and outside the purview of the state. Emerging from the territory of the everyday, lived experience of racism, and indeed embedded with that experience, the antiracist movement was all about the ways race was conceived, constructed, and practiced at both the macrolevel of institutional arrangements and social structure and the microlevel of everyday social relationships. — Michael Omi, Howard Winant, Racial Formation in the United States, 152
