Racial theory is a product, not a cause, of the deeper value-stripping structure

Evidence

Although uplift and persuasion and education have failed, history is clear on what has worked, and what will one day eradicate racist ideas.

Eradicate the company, and the public relations arm goes down, too. Eradicate racial discrimination, then racist ideas will be eradicated, too. — Ibram X.
