White people became powerful through racism, tribalism and working together to kill enemy races. It is white people's nature default to be racist. They must work against their better reason to be non-racist, to fight tribalism. The white war machine runs on one part technology, the other part racial camaraderie.
When did White people become powerful like that? Southern Europeans were powerful a couple thousand years ago and then fell off for a long minute before making a comeback more recently. Northern Europeans didn't gain power until the last thousand or so years. And they didn't start "working together" to fight "enemy races" until the last few hundred years. So this "nature" you're talking about CAN'T be genetic, because genetics don't work nearly that fast.
There was tribalism and conflict within every race at various times in history. But the social construct of being a "unified race" that sees the "other races" as the enemy and feels any sort of group solidarity to combat them is a very recent thing for the vast majority of the world.
I agree that they have to work against something in order to fight it, and it isn't easy. That "something" is a very recently developed social pressure and perceived self-interest within large sub-groups of the community, not anything innate or natural.
You think the guys in the Applachians are so ignorant that they voted for white supremacist Trump mistakenly? Fool.
A great deal of White Supremacy was DESIGNED in order to trick those ignorant powerless Appalachians into siding with their financial/political/social masters. You haven't heard that by this point? The people who ruled the South for the most part were the descendants of the British Cavaliers, wealthy royalty types who had been completely at odds with the less sophisticated groups (Scots-Irish and such) that made up the majority of the White population. They had been full-on enemies in Britain, and were primed to be enemies in the USA too. One of the main ways that the wealthy aristocrats kept control over the South was by convincing the White underclass that even though they were an underclass, "at least they weren't black." They used the image of racial solidarity and a common "enemy" to keep control over a population they otherwise would be at odds with, and even use them to do their bidding.
You see the same thing everywhere. Last few decades in India you've had high-caste Hindus ramp up the idea of the "Muslim threat" to create the image of religious solidarity and get votes from low-caste Hindus and even get them as ground troops in massive acts of violence. There was a
state-wide riot where like a thousand people (mostly Muslims) died, clearly orchestrated by the Hindu Nationalist party in charge, where the vast majority of Hindus who killed and Hindus who died were all from the UNDERCLASS who had traditionally been despised by the very leaders whose bidding they were now doing. It doesn't mean that those low-caste Hindus gain actual power, the Powers That Be just found a convenient way to divert their attention from all the other L's they've been taking at the hands of the exact same leaders they're now caping for.
The Powers That Be, Trump and his herd of white supremacists, were elected by the guy in the Appalachians. That guy saw Trumps' naked anti-blackness and voted for Trump anyway because the guy in the Applachanians believes in the same white power that Trump does.
The people in places like the Appalachians chose the People in Power to mimic what the people in the Appalachians want. Their actions show you what they are, and show what Blacks MUST DO.
Yes, they did vote that way, and it was BY DESIGN. I'm not saying those Appalachians aren't racist, I'm saying that they don't have real power. They're tools.
I'm in college right now. You proclaim you went to college and didn't see racism? Then you did not look close enough or you don't know what racism is. It is not racist for a downtrodden man to fight for his future. and freedom. Damn your definitions. Militants wrote the history of this word in blood and there's a white militant in the White House right now, Donald Trump, writing a new chapter.
When the hell did I say I didn't see racism in college?
The rest of the shyt you say is confused as hell, but I see you still in college so you have plenty of years to change and likely will evolve in your positions more than once, as I did. I suggest that you spend a good bit of time not only listening to the interpretations of history, but listen to interpretations from more than one side and then see which of those interpretations matches up with the actual FACTS of history. Start with this one:
1. How have various revolutions occurred? Get into the details, including which were violent and which were nonviolent, or comparatively how mixed.
2. Which one of those various approaches were most successful in overthrowing the oppressors or changing real conditions? Don't be satisfied with case studies (though you need those to understand shyt deeply), but look and see if there is cumulative data too, real statistics that support a particular approach.
3. After overthrow, what happened? Just another new oppressor while conditions remained unchanged for 90%? What % of revolutions led to genuine freedom for the people who had been in the underclass, and what % just led to another dictator? Did a particular manner of conducting revolution more consistently lead to a meaningfully positive outcome?
The information is out there. Keep doing your homework and don't get stuck within a single rut, especially if that rut has no real support holding it together.
Donald Trump was elected by the white militants in the USA, the guy in the Appachalacians you think is so innocent. The self-righteous men are all dead, killed by the racist men, who knew better.
When the hell did I say the Appalachian fool was innocent? I despise racists, whether they are powerful or not. I didn't say that the powerless racist in Appalachia is righteous or innocent, I'm saying that he's still clearly a racist
despite his actual powerlessness. The fact that he's stuck living a shytty life and none of the people he's voting for give a shyt about changing that for him doesn't make his racism any less despicable.
And I don't want to be like him, whether I have power or not. And I don't think any of us should.
