The Engineering of Racism

Racism and white supremacy have survived in the United States for a very long time because from the onset it was based on sound 'engineering.' The book contends that racism is not a belief practice or ideology that flared up by accident or through the spur of the moment. Rather it followed sound engineering stages like planning design and construction. Racism was designed to serve a domineering purpose for white people and therefore there was a lot of planning that eventually led to its design and construction. Because the architects had a vision of its permanency they chose the most durable materials for its construction. Metaphorically they used mortar bricks and steel beams. These durable materials among others include religion science government (including the Supreme Court) the constitution and laws brutality and social media. As the centuries rolled by succeeding architects of this design and construction have done a superb job in maintenance and modifications to elude stumbling blocks. Based on the times and prevailing winds the racism construct has undergone mutations to evade capture and destruction - even to this day. Like a car the engineering and engineers have evolved the models and make are changing but the underlying engineering remains intact. Today the overt brash and brutal racism has generally ceded to an equally destructive calculated politically-correct less pompous highly sophisticated and veiled racism. The book dissects this durable foundational construct and proffers recommendations that will systematically minimize its intensity.
