I believe that I hold some bias due to my race and social class. Denial is thoughts believed and what one perceives as real based on one’s own thoughts.

The relationship between racism and universalism were symbiotic from the very beginning. In order to define the universal human being as rational – an imperative of Enlightenment – it was necessary to define who could not be viewed as such.
