Are you saying a racist structure is a fabrication in their mind?

I'm just noticing this. I come from the racism-as-structure school of thought. The notion of racism as structure contradicts this psychoanalytical stuff because the latter is curable through therapy and is about individual behavior.
...unless you're arguing that there is a potential interaction between addictions and behavior disorders and the racist structure. That has been found in the literature regarding individual-level behaviors. But we're talking about the racist
structure which doesn't require an individual-level pathology for it to operate and for ALL of us to reinforce it. However, "pathological
society" has been used in the literature to characterize a society with structural inequalities.
