Why Racism is Not an Incurable Disease but a Central Feature of Global Capitalism
Racism is not an individual affliction, but a core feature of global capitalism, argues Gillian Schutte in her article for
Independent Online. Racism is not an aberration in capitalism – it is one of its essential components. Racial progress only occurs when it aligns with the interests of white elites. This reiterates the fact that racism is not a mere matter of personal prejudice or bias; it is deeply intertwined with the economic exploitation on which capitalism thrives. The author argues that the metaphor of racism as an incurable disease is emblematic of this performance – while it acknowledges the existence of racism, it absolves white people of the responsibility to challenge their complicity in the system of whiteness.
