Much of the racial conditioning that is still being perpetuated is done in a committed yet mindless manner.  Those who mindlessly perpetuate racism don't seem to notice that the negative stereotypes and the economic disadvantage that racism creates only undermine our market economy.  After all, our economic system thrives only when people have money to spend and are buying things. Putting aside issues such as justice and fair play and potential civil strife, eliminating racial conditioning is a good economic policy. 

Racial conditioning causes people to act against their own best interests.  Studies have demonstrated, for example, that salespeople will too often not wait on customers that are of African heritage.  Even salespeople of African heritage will ignore customers from their own ethnic background, so internalized has the racial conditioning become. 

In addition to eliminating lost sales and undeveloped markets, eliminating racism will have tremendous repercussions on housing, which has an impact on the sale of other goods such as furnishings, etc. We have undeveloped nations inside our nation, but racism keeps us from developing those markets.  At times we are so busy making sure that the other guy who is a person of color stays down that we don't notice the economic costs of our own conditioned behavior which makes sure that he does.
