"Modern racist ideology is an Enlightenment project."

"Just as religious believers will tell you that 'true' Christianity played no part in the Inquisition, secular humanists insist that the Enlightenment had no responsibility for the rise of modern racism.  This is demonstrably false.  Modern racist ideology is an Enlightenment project."
