Abstract
This article examines the discussions of degrees of racialization, degrees of racism, and degrees of race (or so-called racial authenticity) in Lawrence Blum’s book:‘ I’m Not a Racist, But...’. It identifies some conceptual and moral difficulties with Blum’s analyses, but argues that they nonetheless open promising avenues for further philosophical research into these and related concepts at the foundations of race relations. It concludes that such research into the concepts through which we articulate our understandings of the social realm is best pursued through logical and linguistic analysis that places those concepts in the context of a philosophically developed and defended moral theory.
