Stopping personal and institutional racism will benefit racial minorities and the white majority. Racism and its consequences ultimately harm everyone. Attacks against racism must take place on two levels. First, racist ideas must be attacked as incorrect. Ideas implying the inferiority of nonwhites, no matter how subtly they are stated, are inevitably used to justify the incorrect attitude towards minorities. Second, attacks must also be made on practices that-- whether intended to do so or not-- contribute to the subordinate status of nonwhites. This means fighting discrimination and exploitation wherever they appear and calling for positive institutional practices that will upgrade and provide opportunities for minority group members. Movements to end school and housing segregation and to put an end to discrimination in employment must once again become as important as the 1960s civil rights movement. More people must join or create collective efforts against racism.
We must not lose sight of the fact that many of the problems facing minority group members are matters affecting tens of millions of white people as well. Poverty, substandard schooling, unemployment, and poor housing are not only, or not even primarily, minority problems. By calling for social changes, such as a reduction in economic inequality and the expansion of free or low-cost services, the difficult situation of many whites as well as minorities can be measurably improved. At present, improvement in the economic and political position of minorities is often seen as a threat to whites. The assumption is that whites will suffer losses if nonwhites make gains in employment, education, and politics. This will continue to be a problem so long as we believe that competition for existing resources and opportunities is part of the "natural order". We need to begin strategies for change through which all can gain. The only losers should be those whose power and privilege depend on maintaining racial segregation.
