Abstract

In A Formula for Eradicating Racism, Professor Earl Smith and I argue that racism is a form of sadism that people can construct and dismantle by choice. We also articulate a strategy to eradicate racism within the foreseeable future. So far, the typical reaction to our proposal has been mute disbelief. We understand. Suggesting, as Prof Smith and I do, that we have cracked the problem of racism sounds audacious almost to the point of lunacy.

Keywords: racism, inequality, white privilege, white supremacy, democracy, equality, justice,
