Intra-Racism Vs. Inter-Racism in America
Embed:
In today's America there are more immigrants than the majority Caucasian race and the races are becoming mixed. Apparently, there are four distinct races: Caucasoid, Negroid, Mongoloid and a combination of the three: Indian. The distinctions are made through biological traits that adapted to environmental (climatic) factors over time, and as a result of migration. The most publicized form of racism exists between races, but the most awful form exists within races. This "intra-racism" has been suppressed because it tends to lessen the impact of "inter-racism", which blames mostly the Caucasian race. It is important to note that racism is not inherited biologically, rather, it is socialized/learned behavior which allegedly serves to preserve the races, albeit, with its roots entrenched in ignorance. All emancipation movements were not made possible without the support of the majority race, Caucasian. Most movements for civil rights and justice involved the cooperation of a few inter-racial partnerships with a common goal...unity in humility. The Honorable Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's cause would not have manifested without the support of a few unnamed Caucasians. Same with the abolition of slavery, it would not have been realized without the support of some Caucasians. In Caribbean history, we learn that African slaves were "POWs" of tribal warfare and were sold by Africans, in exchange for "beads", to the Caucasians. This is a fact that has been suppressed and it prevents healing between races. A refusal to "move on" refuels old fires.
