This need not imply the idea of race, leave alone racism. Anti-black racism, our main concern here, is an obvious example. It is this ideology of anti-black racism that was brazenly on show in the 9- minute video clip of the merciless, life-extinguishing force used by the police on George Floyd. Is this not good reason to believe that racism will disappear from America by good laws, education and rational argument? Vulnerabilities amassed over centuries of anti-black racism leave African-Americans facing multiple, intersecting hurdles to a good life.
