Isn't Hegel's Anti-Racism a Radical Idea?
I really like this idea that the thought exceeds the person and the person doesn't live up to the thought. But isn't her point even more that this thing infects the thought from the beginning? Yeah. And you can't then abstract the thought from it.

So I think it's pretty clear that that's just not correct.
