#3 The will to classification is so fundamental to racecraft that it is impossible to understand American race relations without understanding it.
#4 Visualize the Afro-American professor, this time in New York City, flagging down a taxi in 2008. The African driver spots a soaked white traveler, and asks if he can pick up another traveler as well. The white traveler jumps, his face showing the portrait of fear.
