Analogous to the Law of Conservation of Energy, Conservation of
Racism states that the total
racism of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be constant over time. This law means that
racism can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another.
Student 1: paraphrase of Ibram Kendi, "
Racism didn't go way after civil-rights act was passed. It just became more complex."
Student 2: That's the belief of the
Law of Conservation of
Racism.
