That which has been tearing us apart could put us back together again
It took the whole history
of humanity to discover the counter-intuitive idea that we could stop
polio, measles, etc, by infecting people with a strain of the virus
that taught the immune system how to fight the disease.
A similar
counter-intuitive, or counter-popular-culture idea was discovered for
stopping or at least better controlling human social and ethnic
disruptions and that was the knowledge that we could fight racism
best by admitting that human nature is and always has been racist, or
genetically kin and ethnic centered, so we could therefore affirm
ethnocentrism rather than fight it. This also brought forward the
idea of affirming ethnostates and an ethnopluralism of ethnostates for all groups as
the most natural solution to racism. A wise man said, that which
has been tearing us apart could put us back together again.
That idea has been blocked
by leftists, but also by conservatives who have other views of human
nature. Leftist think human beings are all the same and equal and
therefore ethnocentrism is evil, and conservatives believe that human
nature is fallen from universal love and therefore ethnocentrism is
evil.
Ironically those who are
most against racism and ethnocentrism are usually doing so for
ethnocentric reasons; they use the charge of racism to block other
groups and to advance their own group, consciously or unconsciously.
So the ethnocentrism of human nature prevails in any case.
