A National Association Against Human Nature?
A National Association Against Human
Nature (NAAHN?) might seem ridiculous but it wouldn't surprise me
to see it one day.
Many of the minorities who shout the
loudest against racism seem unaware of their own racism which
motivates their stand against racism. White liberals join in the
chorus against racism attacking their own ethnic history, as they
were taught to do in our schools and in the Media. But even
conservative's go out of the way to avoid affirming any kind of
ethnocentrism existing within human nature.
The latest I have seen (Boyd Cathey,
Chronicles, June 2018) points out that it was the Ninth and Tenth
Amendments to the Constitution, not ethnocentrism or racism,
which enshrined the natural differences and inequalities between
people by protecting the rights of the states to be different from
one another with federalism.
That seems true, but the ethnocentric
nature of human nature (even xenophobia)
remains very real, along with other conservative traits like
being kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded,
heterosexual, marriage-making, hierarchical, with group-selection
(mainly ethnocentrism) as the primary unit of successful
selection, followed by individual
selection.
The fair and just way to
deal with the natural differences and inequalities between people,
ethnic groups, or races, is to acknowledge
real human nature. Then an ethnopluralism of ethnostates or regions
could at least begin to be established legally and nonviolently in
the United States enshrined with the constitutional separation of
powers, states, and regions, and protected by federalism.
That will not be easy at
all, but it is far preferable to radical Marxism or Fascism on the
right or the left, or the political dissimulations of the
liberals---and even the denials of full human nature of
conservatives---based on flawed definitions of human nature, which
has brought us civil disruptions and even civil war, and is now
increasing across a world of unworkable multicultural (multi-ethnic)
societies, demanding that since we are all the same we must all get
along living in the same territories.
