We feel a kinship with people of the same race! We all just know who's white because we can look at their European DNA when we see them… I mean we see their physical traits that correspond to their Europeans. Like my niece who is pale and looks like her mom but whose dad is black American but is also half white but not really because of the American one drop rule and because I can see his Jamaican DNA from his father by his skin and hair! I just know those correspond to the Carriebean, I mean Africa. Forget his white mother. But also his daughter is black even though she looks white.
And this kinship for race doesn’t imply hierarchical thinking, it’s just preference for reality you snowflake.
White people stick together!
That is what happened to the Chief of Police in the 1930s with the
nacionalistas from Puerto Rico, E. Francis Riggs was from a banking family in the USA and was a hardcore racist. A Yankee hardcore racist who was there in Puerto Rico running the entire police department. There was a legally permitted march that was peaceful, no one was armed. They got permission to march protesting in Ponce. The second biggest city in Puerto Rico (it is in the Southern part of the island). The march had men and women and children. What happened? Riggs was pissed off at the nationalist Puerto Ricans who were effective at organizing sugar cane workers and they had a successful strike,
the American sugar barons from the states had their profits cut by having to pay a higher wage to the Puerto Rican sugar cane workers. Riggs tried to enforce racist rules from the states and found it impossible. He made comments about how unruly and terrible the Puerto Ricans were who mated like mongrel dogs with anyone and everyone and did not know what being loyal to one's race was, and they were led by that Harvard graduate lawyer mulatto with radical ideas, etc etc. He went and had the cops shoot and kill people including women and even a fourteen-year-old girl was shot and killed. In the street.
The Nacionalistas were not a pacifist group. Neither was Don Pedro the leader whom Riggs hated virulently not only for being racially mixed but for being a lot more educated than he was. Don Pedro Albizu Campos spoke six languages, co-wrote with others the Southern Irish Republican Constitution, knew Bose the anti-colonial movement leader from India, and was a brilliant man in general. Also a great orator, speaker, a military leader taught military tactics in the USA through the US Army. He was at the top of his class in Harvard Law School and at the time the best student of all the class had the right to give a speech in front of the entire law school. His final exam professor hated his guts since he also was a racist asshole and refused to give him the law school exam because he knew he would ace the damn test and force all those racists to listen to some Puerto Rican with an accent on his English address the crowd. A mixed-race man who is supposed to know his place, and be inferior according to all their stupid racist measures of IQ and skulls and genes and was the OPPOSITE of what they believed was the truth and nothing but the truth so help me God.
It infuriated them beyond any measure of logic.
Riggs wanted to enforce his racist separation policies via a barrel of a gun in a society that NEVER accepted that shit for centuries. What happened? A couple of
nacionalistas decided to assassinate Riggs. To send a message to Washington DC how they felt about their violent shit in Puerto Rico enforcing racist Southern policies and not respecting peaceful protesting. Riggs brains were blow out.
Dead as a doornail.
The men who killed him were quickly shot with no trial in police headquarters and no investigation.
The entire island was teetering close to total rebellion. Mind you, Puerto Ricans had been US citizens since 1917. So in the 1930s all of the Puerto Ricans were US Citizens. But they had NOTHING IN COMMON with the US administration people in DC trying to push their oppressive policies on a society that was not following the rules.
Roosevelt felt the situation was spinning out of control.
Anyway Wellsy, the point of this story is that if you do not understand that OTHER societies all around the world have different views of race, racial mixing and loyalties.
For the racist Nazis like FiveofSwords the only real cohesion on a human level is RACE. Oh, your genes say you are from Europe. In the USA racist neo nazi scene the idea that people can get along, love each other and create entire nations and countries from mixing racially together for a very long time and give up on the idea of making your entire identity revolve around how you look on the outside is a LIE.
It is a lie. The only truth is that your whiteness binds you together magically. Through DNA. They are shown evidence that is not true. There are white on white wars and hatreds, feuds and power plays that end in bloodbaths. Tons of example of that by the way. Just in Europe. And in every nation. Which I mentioned to him. But he skips it. Because it contradicts his narrative. It destroys it. He can't accept that. Moves on with more bullshit.
What is the truth? Something very interesting. The ability of humans to shape all kinds of society based on the conditions lived and the circumstances created by history, time, and place and the ideas chosen to create that base of Myth that all nations use in nation states to create a sense of tribal identification. It is FLUID and not rigid. Genes are not rigid either. They along with the laws of Nature change and are made of change. Why stick to such obvious lies then?
To be able to grab power by force and get rid of democracy. Go for autocracy, and fascism and be able to live free of the threat of the OTHER in their own minds. Minds that live in fear in the reptilian realm of the brain....where survival is based on the most primitive form of competition. The one that humans had to conquer long ago in order to build cities and civilizations. But, the Nazis are still wanting to build societies based on reptile thinking. Why? That is where their fear is. And that is where their politics are the most effective. WIth reptile thoughts of fear....the lower human brain functions. The barbarians are they. No one else.
Human beings can choose how to organize their societies around many markers that change over time. They can organize around language. Loyalty to language, to land, to what they value like a religion or a political affiliation, it could be about a dedication to a lifestyle like small acreage farmers, or about something that all agree upon and want to protect.
Genes are complex and made to adapt to what nature imposes. That is the hierarchy. Nature imposes a hierarchy and humans have to adapt to it.
The only ones obsessing about creating a nation based on loyalty to not even an ethnic group but to a generic idea of European heritage in a land that is not Europe at all? But a land that is in the Americas that due to history the Europeans are not the first people to land there. Yet want to say that is their homeland and the rest are strangers? How logical is that shit by the way? Not very.
But what is logical about all that Nazi obsession with creating the Master Race? it only exposed how depraved the human race can get when they refuse to accept that other people in other ethnic groups are as human as they are. That is living in denial. That is all those Nazis do anyway. Live in denial of their own humanity. A waste of time really. A big ugly waste of time and a loss of energy on shit that is unproductive.
