Racism is a blight on the human conscience. The idea that any people can be inferior to another, to the point where those who consider themselves superior define and treat the rest as subhuman, denies the humanity even of those who elevate themselves to the status of gods. Nelson Mandela

is a faith because the racist looks upon his race as the source of his personal value and derives the meaning and worth of his life from the fact that it is part of the racial whole. Driven by a sense of insecurity, the racist feels the need to be attached to a power center and seeks an absoluteness and immortality by relying upon what he regards as the wholeness and permanence of his race. He looks upon his race as the value center that illuminates all other values.

Kelsey contended that racism is a faith because the racist looks upon his race as the source of his personal value. The racist derives the meaning and worth of his life from the fact that it is part of the racial whole. Driven by a sense of insecurity, the racist feels the need to be attached to a power center and seeks an absoluteness and immortality by relying upon what he regards as the wholeness and permanence of his race. He looks upon his race as the value center that illuminates all other values. It is upon the foundation of race that he organizes his private life and public institutions, even his religious institutions. Hence, the racist does not raise questions about the rightness or wrongness of his race. The racist believes that the members of his race, the 'in-race,' simply becuase they are members, possess goodness and worth. Thus he even attributes goodness to criminals, degenerates, and enemies if they are members of his race.

is a faith which began as a mere justification of colonialism and slavery, but gradually grew to a form of idolatry pointing beyond the historical structures of relation in which it emerged, to human existence itself.

Racism is a faith. It is a form of idolatry . . . . In its early modern beginnings, racism was a justificatory device. It did not emerge as a faith. It arose as an ideological justification for the constellations of political and economic power which were expressed in colonialism and slavery. But gradually the idea of the superior race was heightened and deepened in meaning and value so that it pointed beyond the historical structures of relation, in which it emerged, to human existence itself.

is a global hierarchy along the 'line of the human' where those above are in the zone of being (recognized by human, social, civil, and labor rights). Those below are in the zone of non-human (without recognition of rights).

For Fanon, racism is a global hierarchy of superiority and inferiority along the 'line of the human' that has been politically, economically, and culturally produced and reproduced during the centuries by the capitalist/patriarchal Western-centric/Christian-centric modern/colonial world system. People above the line of the human are in, what Fanon calls, the zone of being, and the humanity of these people is socially recognized through human, social, civil, labor rights. Those people who are below the line of the human are in the zone of non-being and are considered sub-human or non-human. Those people who are considered sub-human or non-human do not have their humanity socially recognized and it is in question.'
