"There are two explanations for the unconscious nature of our racially discriminatory beliefs and ideas.
1. Freudian theory states that the human mind defends itself against the discomfort of guilt by denying or refusing to recognize those ideas, wishes, and beliefs that conflict with what the individual has learned is good or right.
2. Second, the theory of cognitive psychology states that the culture including, for example, the media and an individual's parents, peers, and authority figures-transmits certain beliefs and preferences. Because these beliefs are so much a part of the culture, they are not experienced as explicit lessons. Instead, they seem part of the individual's rational ordering of her perceptions of the world.” 423

Discordant Voices
"The history of our need is certainly moving enough to have been called poetry, oratory and epic entertainment—but it has never been treated by white institutions as a statement of political priority. Some of our greatest politicians have been forced to become ministers or blues singers. Even white descriptions of "the blues" tend to remove the day-to-day hunger and hurt from need and abstract it into a mood…. But from blacks, stark statistical statements of need are heard as "strident," "discordant" and "un- harmonious"; heard not as political but only against the back- drop of their erstwhile musicality, they are again abstracted to mood and heard as angry sounds."

Critique of Critical Legal Scholarship's de-emphasis of rights in favor of needs
"Where, however, one's experience is rooted not just in a "sense" of illegitimacy but in being illegitimate, in being raped, and in the fear of being murdered, then the black adherence to a scheme of negative rights-to the self, to the sanctity of one's personal boundaries-makes sense.”417
“The fact is, I wasn't racist when I posted it, [and] I'm not racist now,” Johnson said.
Racial Discrimination:
"But this failure of rights discourse, much noted in CLS scholarship, does not necessarily mean that informal systems will lead to better outcomes. Some structures are the direct products of people and social forces who wanted them that way. If one assumes, as blacks must, not that the larger world wants to overcome alienation, but that many heartily embrace it, driven not just by fear but by hatred and taboo, then one is compelled to recognize the degree to which informal systems as well as formal systems are run by unconscious and/or irrational forces. "Human nature has an invincible dread of becoming more conscious of itself."
