“Once you begin to explain or excuse all events on racial grounds, you begin to indulge in a perilous mythology.”

Simplified Meaning:
When people start blaming everything on race, they can create dangerous false beliefs. Imagine you have two coworkers, Sam and Alex. If Sam always says Alex is successful because of Alex's race, Sam might ignore all the hard work Alex did. This kind of thinking can spread, making it seem like race alone determines everything in life, which isn't true. It can cause divisions and misunderstandings between people. Instead of focusing on race, it's better to look at the individual's efforts and abilities. This way, we build a fairer view of the world and appreciate everyone's unique contributions.
