Deracialized? Not sure what you mean. Philosophy is the process of finding rational solutions to problems. Rationality is based on opinion. Even if you rationalized mathematically it would be impossible to give a completely even answer. For example, in chess a bishop is worth three pawns and a rook is worth five, However, depending on your situation a rook can be doing nothing and a bishop doing alot. A major part of philosophy, therefore, is sharing your opinion of rationale with others, both defending your idea and attacking others. What is philosophy is a very easy question, and i have to say that you wasted you points asking it. A better question would be which philosophy is correct...

The classic translation from the Greek of philosophy is "the love of wisdom". Personally, I'd define it as the ongoing pursuit and inquiry into the nature of truth, across disciplines and subjects.
But then, I also did my own research and thinking in school, rather than posting questions to the web.

The word 'philosophy' is two ancient Greek words joined together, as well you know and love.
Were the ideas of the Ancients influenced by the racial, class and cultural assumptions of their society?
Or should all ideas be discussed fairly on their theoretic merits, without using unfair debating tricks like criticising the race of who is presenting them?

Philosophy pretends to be an examination of the way things are, while-in fact-it is a declaration of the way things could be, or should be, or would be if...if something else were a certain way. It is rarely rational, and usually emotional. It poses as a science, which it is not. It is usually unrealistic. Most philoosophies are devised by those who wish to control others.

Philosophy (or 'love of wisdom' as is its literal definition) is not based on race, however many humans don't have the wisdom or mental discipline to leave race-based arguments and cultural influences out of their discussions.

Deracialized: To remove racist characteristics from something.
eh? are you trying to indicate philosophy itself is racist???
if you are asking for a non-racist philosophy almost all are, or are you are asking for a projected de-racialized philosophy like what Nazisim would look like if one of it's central tenets was that all men are born equal
Need "additional details" please.
