What do racism and sexism prehend?

What do racism and sexism prehend? Potentially, they are actual entities that as thoughts prehend the realization of greater width in the lives of people of color and women. In the consciousness of human beings rascism and sexism prehend the people who live lives that collectively constitute the actual entities of inclusive and feminist, diverse and humanist society. The post-modern world, and its emphasis on making globalization and corporate capitalism livable for Third World people and women is a world where racism and sexism are being unraveled. It doesn't make any sense though that suffering and oppression are a necessary part of God's care for the world. The existence of evil and suffering cannot be explained as a necessary prehension of good, and if it is explained that way, it should have a much greater elaboration by process theologians.
