Racist ideologies can be turned into vehicles of opposition and resistance

Evidence

The ideologies of racism remain contradictory structures, which can function both as the vehicles for the imposition of dominant ideologies, and as the elementary forms for the cultures of resistance. Any attempt to delineate the politics and ideologies of racism which omit these continuing features of struggle and contradiction win an apparent adequacy of explanation only by operating a disabling reductionism. — Hall, Stuart, Essential Essays, Volume 1, 638
