Professor Paul R. Griffin explores these roots in his book, "Seeds of Racism in the Soul of America," linking the concepts in the Puritan belief system to long lasting racist effects. He argues that racism is itself a religion in the United States and is closely related to America Christianity. He claims that efforts to erase racism have failed because they have concentrated on its visible manifestations rather than its ideological character. The book Dr. Paul Griffin recommends is "The Rage of A Privileged Class," by Ellis Cose.
