“Whitehead points out, “There’s a meme circulating on social media that goes like this: If you catch 100 red fire ants as well as 100 large black ants, and put them in a jar, at first, nothing will happen. However, if you violently shake the jar and dump them back on the ground the ants will fight until they eventually kill each other. The thing is, the red ants think the black ants are the enemy and vice versa, when in reality, the real enemy is the person who shook the jar. This is exactly what’s happening in society today. Liberal vs. Conservative. Black vs. White. Pro-Mask vs. Anti-Mask. The real question we need to be asking ourselves is who’s shaking the jar … and why?”
Good question.
Multi-ethnic societies don’t work in the long run. The US did for a while, but once people stopped identifying as Americans and started identifying with their own race or religion, it was all over.
