racism = a system of advantage based on race
“[R]acism, like other forms of oppression, is not only a personal ideology based on racial prejudice, but a system involving cultural messages and institutional policies and practices as well as the beliefs and actions of individuals.”
racism = prejudice + power
“Racial prejudice when combined with social power–access to social, cultural, and economic resources and decision making–leads to the institutionalization of racist policies and practices.”
