| - | "Quand on considère le racisme il ne faut pas considérer l’[[antiracism]]e comme un état de lutte avec l’extérieur, il faut aussi le considérer comme un état de lutte contre soi. Je ne crois pas qu’on ne m’ait jamais traité de raciste, c’est pourquoi je puis dire que je suis certainement entaché de racisme par mon enfance, et qu’on ne s’en débarrasse que par une lutte constante. Il y a eu, chez moi, à un certain moment une façon d’être trop gentil avec des gens qui venaient du tiers-monde, c’était alors les colonies, et qui m’apportaient un manuscrit qui était mauvais. A un Français, à un Blanc, j’aurais dit: il est mauvais. A eux, je prenais pour le dire, des circonvolutions que je prenais pour de la courtoisie, et qui en réalité traduisaient un certain racisme dont d’ailleurs je me suis débarrassé depuis. Mais il y a certainement d’autres niveaux de racisme que j’ai encore et dont je peux me débarrasser." --Sartre | + | "Morning, noon and night we were subjected to jeers, insults and blows because we were "[[Negro|Negroes]]". Who will ever forget that the black was addressed as "tu", not because he was a friend, but because the polite "vous" was reserved for the white man?" --[[Patrice Lumumba]], "[[Congolese Independence Speech]]" from ''[[The Truth about a Monstrous Crime of the Colonialists]]'', Moscow, Foreign Languages Publishing House, 1961, pp. 44-47.

Many scholars maintain race to be a social construct with potent social and political effects but no basis in biological science.
