The Macpherson Report distinguished unconscious institutional racism from conscious racial hatred

Evidence

One of the most important features of the Macpherson Report into the murder of Stephen Lawrence (a black teenager who was killed in an unprovoked racist attack in 1993), and one not much remarked upon, was the insistence upon the distinction between unconscious racism, operating covertly or unwittingly, behind the scenes, or perhaps behind the backs of well-intentioned governance, and the malevolent, consciously directed forms of racial hatred so clearly manifested by Stephen’s killers. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 1233

Categorization

• XREF: This distinction between unconscious/institutional racism and conscious racial hatred parallels vault claims on structural vs. interpersonal racism elsewhere in CRT sources; worth pinning down as an origin of that binary.
• QUESTION: Worth chasing: whether the report’s unconscious/conscious distinction has been cited as the canonical source for ‘institutional racism’ definitions used elsewhere in the vault.
• corroborated: 2 independent passages support this claim — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 1233
