I'm reading your work for the first time and am happy to be discovering a very good writer (good in both senses of the word). I found you because you put one of my articles on racism, Most — and Least — Racist U.S. States, into your list called Race. Thanks for doing that. About this article, I have a question: Since for a while you rejected racism as a reason for what would appear to be racism, what specific reasons did you come up with that, at the time, seemed to account for bad actions?
