Don’t attribute to racism that which can be adequately explained by greed. The good thing about greed is that it’s generally colorblind. The bad thing is that it’s much harder to stop than racism, which is rooted in ignorance. Enlightenment tends to beget more greed, and that’s just the American way.

It's pretty mainstream to say that racism is a result of greed. If you're going to force resources to be distributed unevenly in your favor, you have to come up with reasons why you must deserve those resources more than others. If there are convenient physical features to use in that reason, then you'll get racism. So a greed that doesn't have a racism is just one where everyone shares the same features. If your definition of racism is inclusive of distinctions in language or manner, then it's probably not even possible to have greed without racism.

It's the greed that should be attacked, its expression (in racism) is arbitrary.

> The good thing about greed is that it’s generally colorblind.

So I'm saying the opposite of this. Greed is never colorblind, it sees whatever color is convenient at the time.

1. Racism and greed can very easily coexist. Just look at the entirety of American history for examples.

2. Racism is not easy to stop and not as simple as addressing ignorance. Again, I invite you to look at the entirety of American history for examples. You could also look to current affairs.
