Ok I totally get you now. That is a really good point! The problem with racism is that it hurts other people, not that the person upholding racism is impure.

I think Coates is kind of right on a societal level: threads of racism run deeply through so much of our culture, but trying to minimize it is a worthy and possible endeavor that can really help a lot of people live better, fuller lives.
