Races, Infrastructure and Superstructure in the Writing of R. Wright

The system of racial stratification is not as easy to apply as the ideology of biological difference would have us believe, even if, according to the criteria of universal culture, a black person, a yellow person and a white person are supposed to be easily distinguishable. The same is not true for the identification of social classes. The biologization of perception, as soon as it is associated with the perception of social difference, forms the core of the racist organization. Under the sign of hostility, which marks the relations between groups and which is wrongly considered as the major determinant of racist conduct, there remains fundamentally the biological sign. The idea of race in social phenomena belongs to the universe of signifiers. The conflicting relations between Blacks and Whites are the reflection of a past, of a history founded on racial considerations based on an antagonism born of the divergent settlement and development of America by the Black race and the so-called White race with opposing living conditions.
