The uses and abuses of racism

Another Black was shot by police yesterday while resisting arrest in Minneapolis Minnesota, one of the most liberal and accommodating states for minorities (eg. 20,000 Somalis refugees (and growing), and 63,619 Hmong refugees (and growing) in addition to many Blacks and Hispanics). The usual chaos and destruction has followed on the streets.

Things are getting worse between the races in America. How can we conservatively retain the American union as we deal with our increasingly ethnically diverse society? Can we avoid radical racial revolution and yet adapt to the increasingly violent racial and cultural differences in America?

The great dilemma, absurdity, and tragedy is that human nature is racist and ethnocentric and has been since humans became humans, as the evolutionary sciences like sociobiology have been trying to tell us for years. This knowledge is missing mainly because “racism” has been sold as being racial supremacism, as a means to power for minorities.

What is missing today is knowledge of the biological origin of social behavior which came with Darwin and later sociobiology showing that real human nature is and has been genetically kin and ethnic centered with group selection as the main unit of successful survival and reproduction, followed by individual selection.

Things look hopeless. But we can't settle for hopeless. If real human nature was allowed to be what it is, it would naturally lead to regionalism, localism, eventually ethnostates, and finally an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, protected from marauding imperialists, supremacists, and global money grubbers, with a defensive federalism. An ethnopluralism of ethnostates could be established, legally, in the United States with our constitutional separation of powers and states.
