I believe the fearing what is different was/is built into the human mind for survival during it's infancy.

To survive as a caveperson, especially a pre-fire caveperson anything that wasn't you/your tribe/whatever was competition for resources.

It's something that is now in the human mind that isn't really needed anymore. Like your appendix.

Problem is in the history of Earth humankind has only been around a very short time.

It's something that we will probably evolve out of as time goes on.

Until then you have to use you intellect and reason to rise above those ancient human instincts.

Or, I could be completely full of shit.


I respectfully disagree.

Not just in the United States, but throughout the world, ethnocentrism and ethnonationalism is on the increase. Blacks and hispanics in the U.S. see the decline in whites as a percentage of the population (down from 89% in 1965, to about 72% now, and decreasing 1 or 2% every 4 years, mostly due to massive waves of immigration from the third world), as their numbers are rising, particularly hispanics. That is the reason Democrats are pushing race and class divisions, to try and rally support based in whipped-up fear, hatred and scapegoatism against a decreasing white population, and Democrats paint themselves as protectors of minorities against the phantom of decades-old past white racism, against Republicans they slanderously label as the white racist party.

So much for the utopian delusion of a truly equal post-racial multi-ethnic society. As is, I guess, human nature, when other black or hispanic groups become the majority, they will exert power and discrimination over the white minority.
You see the beginnings of that in Obama's rhetoric that he --in kneejerk impulse-- blames police when a black college professor behaves badly, and in particular in Eric Holder's justice department, that absolutely refuses to prosecute minority-on-white discrimination and threats of violence toward whites. Only minorities are given protection under the law. This is the shape of things to come under the new Democrat power structure.



You see the same rising ethnocentrism/ethnonationalism around the world. In Ecuador, in Venezuela, in Brazil, all the non-european candidates fan the flames of hatred and envy of ethnic hispanics toward european hispanics, a mentality of taking back the country from European oppressors, fanning the flames of race and class envy. Identical to the Obama political model.

And throughout the world, ethnocentric separatism is on the rise:
French Quebec that constantly weighs breaking off from english Canada. Ironically, it is only large waves of new immigrants to Quebec that has prevented French Quebec from having the votes to secede.

Likewise, Scotland is contemplating breaking off from the United Kingdom. And there is definitely racial hatred among Scots for the historic conflict and wrongs of the English toward them.

Likewise Belgium is on the edge of splitting into two states, one French-speaking, one Flemish-speaking.
Likewise the more friendly separation of Czech Republic from Slovakia. A greater sense of ethnocentric nationalism made this necessary.
Likewise the sometimes violent push for separation of Barcelona from Spain.
The separation of Kosovo from Serbia.

And these are all places that are peaceful and prosperous, many where they have a large degree of shared culture along with their prosperity.

Then you get into the more violent ethnonationalism in places like Bosnia, Croatia, and the Caucuses.

And in mixed christian/muslim African countries like Sudan and Kenya.

I could go on with multiple examples of separation and conflict in the Middle East and Asia as well.

But my point is, it is only white western democracies who delude themselves that race no longer matters. And they are for their benevolent attitude even more hated and threatened by violence from minorities. Who are being whipped into a frenzy of anti-white hatred by minority leaders and academics, and by white liberals who will eventually find themselves swept aside when minorities no longer need them.

Up till around 10 years ago, I bought the benign delusion that we were moving toward a truly equal and harmonious multi-racial society. I envisioned a future being somewhat like Star Trek.

But I've seen minority rhetoric become increasingly resentful, and instead of continued pushes for true equality, minority rhetoric has increasingly called for reparations, payback, seizure, redistribution, and threats of violence. the lack of punishment for these threats inevitably will embolden actual violence that goes beyond mere rhetoric.
