Abstract
The US began as a haven for white supremacy. Where the US Constitution mentions people of color it dehumanizes them. The Naturalization Act of 1790 specified that only free white men could aspire to US citizenship. From the outset, white supremacy has been the avowed policy of the USA. Racism is a remediable social problem. Instead of being ubiquitous throughout human history, racism is much more idiosyncratic. The subjects and objects of racism vary wildly from one time and place to another. This is because societies create racism by instituting hate-based social policies that arbitrarily dehumanize despised peoples. The way to eradicate racism is to eradicate racist social policies (e.g., slavery, mass incarceration, Terra Nullius, Final Solution, Manifest Destiny, Jim Crow, separate but equal, apartheid, 3⁄5 Compromise, etc.) and replace those policies with equality-enhancing directives, such as the United Nation’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
