DESCRIPTION:<p>Abstract: &nbsp\;Racism\, sexism\, and other forms of injustice are more than just bad attitudes\; after all\, such injustice also involves unfair distributions of goods and resources.&nbsp\; But attitudes play a role.&nbsp\; How central is that role?&nbsp\; Tommie Shelby argues that racism is an ideology that consists in false beliefs that arise out of and serve pernicious social conditions.&nbsp\; In this paper I agree that racism is an ideology\, but on my view\, ideology is deeply rooted in social practices.&nbsp\; Social practices are patterns of interaction that distribute things of value\, guided by cultural meanings.&nbsp\; In the case of subordinated social groups\, these habits of mind distort\, obscure\, and occlude important facts about those groups and result in a failure to recognize their interests. How do we disrupt such practices to achieve greater justice?&nbsp\; I argue that this is sometimes\, but not always\, best achieved by argument or challenging false beliefs\, so social movements legitimately seek other means.</p>
