Wrong question[s], totally.

What is needed to eradicate racism is the only question Yoshie. Etiological analysis of it's construction is at the "point" of diminishing returns. The moment somebody comes up with an explanation that racism is rational [under capitalism or any other politico-economic system] is the moment we should give up reason. Racism cannot be rational in any historico-ontological "context"; lets ask different questions.......please.

How do we get rid of racism? Institutionally, psychologically etc.....

New millennium, new questions,

Ian
