Can we be straight about racism?

Racism exists, white, black and yellow racism, it is a deep part of human nature and has existed since at least primitive hunter-gatherer times because it helped various inside-groups to bond together for the sake of survival against competing outside-groups. But here is the reality not understood or blocked: human nature has not changed, we are still racist, even though it is denied. Genetic engineering might be able to change human nature, but we don't seem to want to do that, or there is something in our nature that won't let us change.

Altruism was originally evolved by nature for the in-group to gain advantage over the out-group, altruism was not designed as an egalitarian behavior to make all out-groups as in-groups, which actually works against real human nature. This is why even the great religions and powerful political philosophies who promoted all-group-altruism have not stopped racism.

Racism against blacks exists, which helped to channel blacks into ghettos across the nation, but then black racism against whites strikes out in revenge against whites and does so at a crime rate many times higher for blacks than whites. We have not been able to convince distinctly different races to live together in peace even after spending billions of dollars and endless effort trying to do so. This is because we have been working against the very roots of human nature.

To make matters worse, it seems clear that those who fulminate the most against racism do it so they may then insert their own race into power, which only continues racism as before. This is hypocritical and treacherous but it is natural because it is real human nature to promote ones own people, ones own kind. Look closely at the motives or reasoning of those groups who deny this view, although some are duped and many are unconscious of the real forces behind much of this.

It seems to me that the realistic thing to do is to stop trying to force distinctly different people to live together. The most we can hope for, realistically, given human nature, is cooperative competition between different people, rather than overt war or civil war. The attempts at racial supremacy or imperialism of one group over all other groups has not worked on our crowded planet, it leads to war and destruction for all.

This brings us to the idea of separate regions and states, protected by a light federalism, with cooperative competition sanctioned between states or ethnostates. Radical revolution need not take place. In the United States the original Constitution promoted virtually independent states which could be applied to this perspective. As has been said before, why not let the forces of real human nature which are tearing us apart put us back together again?

 All else has been tried and failed. Why not go back to the original configuration of people, in harmony with human nature? Then perhaps we can move forward again and evolve together out into the cosmos, rather than destroying one another, or destroying the earth.
