The values that science affirms are not based on the universal but, instead, on a purely white particular. Today's western descendants of the Enlightenment "are fundamentally incapable of even naming the racism that is the basis of the global political and economic system".<\/span><\/p>\n UFPJ, CODEPINK<\/span> (2021-11-13)<\/span>.
