Race Is A Divide & Conquer Tactic

[BaggerofTea]

I'm not aware of any of your material breh. Post some.

much respect if you share the ideaology of logic over everything tho

Much of humanities history has been void of the racialized product of capitalism that we see today.

Even many of the ancient European civilizations were devoid of racism and merely engaged in tribalism.

Its only when private economic monopolies rose up during the 1600s and began to use governments to expand global trade was where you began to see the "racial superiority complex" arise. People realized that they had more guns and more steel to conquer. They believed that their sophisticated lifestyle based off of conquest made them superior, not only to their lesser developed neighbors but to other ethnic groups throughout the world.

The realization of capitalism and African chattel slavery that came along with it fermented those nothings.

Just a brief summary of my beliefs.

Capitalism created and perpetuates racism.

Of course it is. The elite play the majority of whites for fools and always have. They will shyt on them and be allowed to as long as they give whites a superiority bone. Meanwhile, poor whites will tell the true story and with the wealthy steadily using up more and more natural resources, when it comes time to cull the population, poor whites will be in the grinder right along with blks, Latinos and any other "inferior" group.

I have to interject here.

That would be impossible with capitalism.

Those at the top need people at the bottom in this system.

Now who they would pick if they were to cull and leave one group is the real question.

Somalia is "homogenous" but again, the british and the italian colonisers implemented a divide and conquer tactic to prevent a stable government.
Tribalism is at the heart of Africa & was used by colonists to prevent unity and uprisings. Somalis are seperated into several different tribes & are at constant war with each other.
The British took the northern tribes and seperated them from the southern tribes which the Italians colonised. This has led to a division in Somalia in the modern day with the establishment of Somaliland & Somalia becoming two seperate countries.

Another good example is in Rwanda where the Belgians placed the Tutsi tribe above the Hutus because they "resembled caucasians" .

It all boils down to the same thing, play on people's differences to distract them from the real finesse

Somalia isn't homogeneous. Somalis are mixed race from the get and they variously claim different racial origin in line with different tribes (which is true to some extent). So Somalia is really a heterogeneous country not a homogeneous one. Moreover Kenya is not homogeneous either anymore. There are mainly homogeneous black groups in Kenya, but also some variously mixed with more Easternly Africans. So strictly speaking Kenya doesn't exactly count as a strict homogeneous countries. Strict homogeneous countries include those in Scandinavia, East Asia, etc. Studies show racially and culturally homogeneous countries have far less conflict and far more cooperation compared to heterogeneous countries on average (this doesn't mean there is never conflict, only that it happens far less in homogeneous than hetergeneous countries).

The crux of you point is untrue. There was racism before capitalism was even systematized in Europe. Before capitalism Europeans engaged in mercantalism, which was wealth building for the nation by extracting resources and either using them within country or selling them to other countries. This led to colonialism which itself was full of racist overtures. So racism existed for capitalism. Tribalism itself is merely a simpler form of racism and can exist at the same time as racism ("English not liking French or blacks, or liking French a little more than blacks, but disliking both").

As long as people identify as something then there will always be division. Somalia is racially and religiously homogeneous but is nowhere near harmonious.

Somalia is not racially homogeneous. Its people are mixed race and in the South some of the people in Somali territory are straight black whereas many of the Northern Somalis can be almost half non-black.
