Obamaism

is neoliberalism with a 'human face' which is to say that it is part of an agenda that reduces all social participation to an individual choice, thus making racism not a structural problem, but attributed to rogue individuals outside of the concern of the state.

Goldberg argues that Obama is neoliberalism with a 'human face'. The neoliberal agenda reduces all social participation to an individual choice. This allows for racism to be attributed to rogue individuals outside of the concern of the state and therefore, through its invisibility, protected by the state. This, argues Goldberg, is the neoliberal project of the 'privatisation of racism'... of racisms without race.'
