It was (to the best of my knowledge) developed to be segregated, with the mostly white engineers in one part of town and the mostly Black workers in another. So the link between 'energy' and 'racism' isn't entirely imaginary. My friend Kirby Urner [1] has also made me aware of a link between 'mathematics' and 'racism' in regards to how Buckminster Fuller's work has been kept out / left out of academia.

Rather than confront such ideas, the educational powers that be keep his work out in its entirity.
