Basic Dimension
It is clear that the process of human racism can derail in the long run. The longer it stagnates without converging into integration or assimilation, the more difficult it is to untangle its terrible sequential interactions.
Assumption 627: Identity politics:Identity politics is a political approach wherein people of a particular gender, religion, race, social background, class or other identifying factor develop political agendas based around one or more of these categories.Racism is an approach in which individuals of a particular race or ethnicity are identified on the basis of alleged group characteristics projected into them.Racism is part of identity politics.The first bipedal primates assumed that the appearance of individuals of a certain subspecies could be equated with their (deviating) tribal identity. Therefore, they easily confused the individual with his group based on external features.
Assumption 623: The intent of Racism.Racism tries to achieve symbolic balance between cultures, between tribal identities, bringing races or ethnicities into the cultural harmony of integration and assimilation. And of course those are almost always unpleasant corrections from both sides.
One-sided assimilation from Black into White:
The Racism Factor
- Mutual Assimilation means corresponding tribal identities (No racism).
- One sided Assimilation means partly cultural surrender (Racism possible).
- Integration means balanced by racism, without equal tribal identities.
- Segregation means no longer racism.
- Civil war means no segregation any more.
Assimilation can also be enforced by one-sided racism:Integration process towards assimilation:a x Slave identity = 1 x Master identity (a = Master racism)1 x Slave identity = b x Master identity (b = Slave racism)a x Slave identity = b x Master identity. (Mutual racism)
This raises the question of how far slavery uses to reflect a "natural" relationship. Blacks were misused in slavery but part of them still conform to the Master-Slave relationship from the slavery period. They continue on the same basis as in (Mod 2:MS) and carry the racist burden of the Master culture until the present day:
Refusal one-sided assimilation from Black into White:
But another part of the Black race went back to (Mod 1:NI), while stalled functionally fixed in (Mod 2:MS). And from (Mod 1:NI) this process disintegrated into (Mod 3:CS). Note they could not effectively defend themselves with racism in (Mod 1:NI) and remained functionally fixated in anti-racism. They simply avoided whites and established parallel inner cities in the South.
Note: There are two groups that reject unilateral assimilation into white culture. Above is about black people in the South. But part of the Mixed-race is also against unilateral assimilation for political reasons. But the Mixed-race does not end up immediately in Cultural segregation (Mod 3:CS).
3: The Cultural Segregation Model (Mod 3:CS)
As a result of (Mod 3:CS), concepts as 'Racism' and 'Anti-Racism' became meaningless because races no longer interacted:
The Cultural Segregation model is a combination of the Master-Slave model and the Native-Immigrant model after slaves became free. In this combined model, slaves did not integrate further into the master culture after liberation, but disintegrated into segregation in inner cities in the South:
Mutual assimilation from Black and White:
Another way of looking at it is that the former sado-masochistic relationship from (Mod 2:MS) evolved into symbiosis in the Cultural Integration model (Mod 4m:MCI):
Integration process towards assimilation:a x Slave identity = b x Master identity. (Balanced by mutual racism)
4: The Mutual Cultural Integration Model (Mod 4m:MCI)
(Mod 4m:MCI) could have been the follow up model of (Mod 1:NI), but not easily of (Mod 2:MS), unless the functionally fixed relationship from (Mod 2:MS) changed into the satisfying cultural equation for integration between Master and Slave culture (Mod 1:NI), which ultimately could evolve into a mutual assimilation, which is rather doubtful:
So, in above models we do not really expect a fundamental behavioral change from the Black-race. More obvious is the one-sided assimilation of the Black race into the Master race by (Mod 4u:UCI):
Assimilation can also be enforced by one-sided racism:Integration process towards assimilation:a x Slave identity = 1 x Master identity, (Balanced one sided racism: a = Master racism)
The auxiliary hypothesis
Proceeding with our model, we need the auxiliary hypothesis that this kind of slavery is not accidental but sort of a natural relationship. In history, Blacks have been in slavery for ages at Caucasians, at Muslims and Europeans.
Only if slavery was felt as kind of natural relationship this prolonged dependency on the Master culture after slavery can be understood, because so many other peoples in the evolution have fallen for slavery but recovered their original tribal identities afterwards, I guess. Regardless, there seems to be a mutually beneficial symbiosis between black and white. Based on the economy, stupid.
And only if the black race - as auxiliary hypothesis - does not defend itself against Western culture, e.g. because it has an economic interest in doing so, is there room for a counter-reaction from the right side of the mixed race, which, as almost white, is still discriminated against on facial features:
The whiter part of the Mixed-race doesn't have this fatalistic and lethargic attitude of the pure Black race. This 'docile' attitude is an abomination to them. So, they go to war against the other Whites with shit arguments about White Supremacy and the like:
'No one is born racist or antiracist; these result from the choices we make. Being antiracist results from a conscious decision to make frequent, consistent, equitable choices daily. These choices require ongoing self-awareness and self-reflection as we move through life. In the absence of making antiracist choices, we (un)consciously uphold aspects of white supremacy, white-dominant culture, and unequal institutions and society. Being racist or antiracist is not about who you are; it is about what you do.'Above sentences seem completely contrary to the premise of 'No one is born racist or antiracist'. We apparently have to walk all our life through a minefield of difficult choices. Why is that? Why would the author not warn white males for their awful racist instinct? To hide their racist heritage is the first elephant in the room. And the function appears to be to shock white males and let individuals discover in horror these abject feelings as their personal abnormality, as a disgusting aberration. White males are not normal people like us. And that's an unfair intro.
So, now we have the auxiliary hypothesis by which political gangs can drive a wedge between unilateral assimilators (Blacks) and refusers (partly Mixed-race).
It does not matter whether the auxiliary hypothesis is correct. What matters is a good description of the State of Nature and making predictions about the future behavior of the Mixed-race and political gangs.
THE MIXED RACE:
This is why it went wrong in the US: It took to long to come to integration and assimilation:
It is clear that the process of human racism can derail in the long run. The longer it stagnates without converging into integration or assimilation, the more difficult it is to untangle its terrible sequential interactions.
MODEL ADAPTATIONS FOR THE US:
Mutual assimilation from Black and White (US version):
Another way of looking at it is that the former sado-masochistic relationship from (Mod 2:MS) evolved in symbiosis in the Cultural Integration model (Mod 4m:MCI). Very unlikely for the US because Blacks now will have to defend their tribal identity with racism. Black and White need racism in this model:
The Racism Factor
- Mutual Assimilation means corresponding tribal identities (No racism).- One sided Assimilation means partly cultural surrender (Racism possible).
- Integration means balanced by racism, without equal tribal identities.
- Segregation means no longer racism.
- Civil war means no segregation any more.
When Slave tribal identity and Master identity do not fit:
a x Slave identity = 1 x Master identity (a = Master racism)
Mutual assimilation means matching tribal identities:
Then the Racism factor is 1 at both sides:Segregation also means not matching tribal identities:
