Despite the low quality of OP’s post, Arendt did say some troubling things about race in the US. Of course this was in the 1950s when an awful lot of people were doing the same thing. Even so, this aspect of her writing does sit uneasily with the rest of her work, and some of it (like Reflections on Little Rock) was highly controversial even at the time. I found this discussion of the issue interesting: http://sro.sussex.ac.uk/id/eprint/66694/1/Owens%20%282017%29%20Clean%20version%20of%20Millennium%20resubmission.pdf http://sro.sussex.ac.uk/id/eprint/66694/1/Owens%20%282017%29... (You might find the abstract a bit offputting, but the discussion in the body of the text is quite detailed and nuanced.)
