She’s right you know. (Ahem, hold your fire a moment.) I think you’d find after only a few moments of cursory research that humans tend to be very tribal and consider almost everybody outside their family and especially outside the tribe as “the other.” Which tendency is magnified enormously when “the other’s” skin signals an outsider at a mere glance. Within races, the tribalism is just as prominent, which is why gangs use signs and colors to identify their tribe because skin shades are not reliable as indicators when competing gangs are of the same race.
Some things are just human nature. Acknowledge. Live with it.
I have a 7-month-old granddaughter, whom I watch closely. The other day, Grams displayed her doll to her from across the room, and in the doll’s hands was a toy of my little love. Who promptly crawled to Grams and snatched the toy away while wearing a stern look. Different toya? Same result. I promise you, nobody has ever taught that little angel of mine to be selfish and territorial. Nobody has ever snatched a toy from her, bc we treat her like the gift from God that she is. But she is a little human, endowed with all our human flaws (bc of Original Sin?). Who knows why? Whaddya think? White privilege? Nah. Human nature.
Look, this author who writes about race is making a boatload of money on a “Dog-bites-woman” phenomenon. She deserves to be mocked and then ignored.
Tribalism has been around as long as people have been around.
All people live this way.
However tribalism is not the same thing as the left’s Identity Politics meme. Thats a marxist theory that capitalism/patriarchy divides and oppresses people by their race or gender.
