Racelessness individualizes and personalizes what is actually structural racism

Evidence

Racelessness, as I have said, is the logical iraplication of racial historicism. Not only does it supposedly sweeten racial structure by diluting it in the substance of class formation; it renders individuals personally responsible — and so the agents of statefashioned social structure literally irresponsible ~ for whatever racial distinctions linger. — David Theo Goldberg, The Racial State, 123 (#expands, via linked claim)
