We are not going to be able to marginalize America's capitalists, but we can marginalize the racists. Capitalism is a tool that enable's greed, but capitalism is not inherently evil. Racism is inherently evil, and racists can, have, and do use capitalism to maintain their malevolent dominance.

I think that racism may have been the child of greed, but racism is now it's own disease. Good people can coordinate finance and industry.
