Racism is a tool of capitalism and imperialism to keep people divided and fighting with each other instead of seeing that they have more in common with each other than with billionaires of their same race. It is a divide and conquer tool to keep people from overthrowing the ruling class.

    Racism still exists sans capitalism, so how does racism get its power from capitalism? I can see that it becomes a form of turbo-racism where every Tom, Dick, and Harry hates every Abdul, Rahim, and Schlomo, but even if we lived in a communist utopia, there would be a significant portion of the population that hates people because they have a different skin color or a different form of community.
