State racism operates pragmatically rather than from coherent durable ideology.
Evidence
A critical analysis of racism takes the form of an integrated, holistic analysis of society and its presuppositions, including the power (and ability) to offend, degrade or transform/modify the worth of individuals and communities, with, but also, more importantly, without the presence of deliberate hatred. — Cristian Tileagă, The Nature of Prejudice, 125 (

“We recognized that increased voting strength might encourage a shift in the tactics of discrimination,” Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach testified to Congress. “Once significant numbers of blacks could vote, communities could still throw up obstacles to discourage those voters or make it difficult for a black to win elective office.” Katzenbach’s recognition of the fact that racist policies could progress in the face of racial progress proved prophetic. — Ibram X.
