Racism is reorganized by each mode of production and never reducible to other relations

Evidence

In part, this must be because one cannot explain racism in abstraction from other social relations—even if, alternatively, one cannot explain it by reducing it to those relations. It has been said that there are flourishing racisms in pre-capitalist social formations. This only means that, when dealing with more recent social formations, one is required to show how thoroughly racism is reorganized and re-articulated with the relations of new modes of production. … Thus, there can be no assumed, necessary coincidence between racism and slavery as such. — Hall, Stuart, Essential Essays, Volume 1, 633
