Is Racism in the Heart? by Tommie Shelby

Tommie Shelby mentioned in "Racist discriminationism", "Is racism not an element of the soul"? He wrote, "In order to make actions or institutions racist, there is no need to participate in" heart "." "(483). On the contrary, Shelby believes that racial discrimination is based on the deepening of the racist system and the influence of behavior on suppression of a particular group based on ethnicity. , "Pure", or his or her inner heart, will not take precedence over the influence of his or her behavior.

Compared to other racist philosopher Hauser Garcia, Tom Shelby claims that racist political philosophical stories will serve us more than moral philosophy. Shelby is involved in Lawrence Bloom's "narrow range racist concept". According to Mr. Shelby, Bloom believes that too many "light moral violations" are called racial discrimination and that it loses all the meaning of racial discrimination. Furthermore, if there are too many behaviors and attitudes contained under the heading of racial discrimination, there is the possibility that individuals may become "social unrest" against being judged as racist, so they You may not "engage in publicly open dialogue."

Lawrence Blum, Anthony Appiah and Tommie Shelby expressed an indispensable position in solving the moral status of race concepts. Blum (2002) studied the concept of race and racial discrimination. He believes that "racial discrimination" is limited to two kinds of allegations: a group's slander due to recessive or its assumed physiological inferiority; a population defined by another putative genetic physique (2002, 8 years) indignation, or "prejudice, hostility and hatred". These two moral crimes should be highly criticized for the word racial discrimination. Because they are in violation of the moral code of "respect, equality, dignity" and are related to the racial oppression of the historically extreme and open form. 27)

Harvard philosopher Tommy Shelby said, "This is the truth about human nature - the point that Max Weber emphasizes - the privileged class wants to maintain their benefits, and the disadvantaged group is their It deserves all difficulties "(2008, page 80). Regarding the criminal justice system, concerns about racial discrimination experience are generally more positive than those who believe in the unfair world. For example, poor people who blame themselves due to their own poverty are more happy and satisfied with their lives. By streamlining the racial inequality in the US criminal justice system, Caucasian Americans persuaded that the problem is not a policy that they and others prefer, but social forces they can not control.
