I want to make a small point here. The term "racism" has some serious limitations. In general use, it clumsily describes sentiments.  But we must note that sentiments alone do not cause material harm. Harm is caused when we take actions of one sort or another. This gap between feeling and action makes it possible to do great harm, without harboring any hostile sentiments, and, conversely to do good, though one may harbor contempt. Harms are material, and measurable. Sentiments, not so much. We tend to imagine that when sentiments are sufficiently positive, that will lead to a reduction in harm, but this sets the struggle in terms that are largely subjective, and maintain a narcissistic focus on White people, and our feelings. Innumerable idiotic disputes about feelings ensue.  The proper sentiment to cultivate is actually a zeal for justice. Justice may be argued in material, measurable terms.  It may be pursued in court, and by the officials elected to do our will.  (cont.)
