What I presented has nothing to do with Marxists, just human nature and its strong affinity with group identity.
What specific parts of what I said do you disagree with?
Most of what you're saying shows you've looked into this issue and thought out some interesting connections. I didn't mean to come across as hyper critical. The above is the part I'm having a problem with - and it's fairly minor. Unless there's an outside force constantly reinforcing racial identity political delusions that part fades. The opposite is also true which is why newspapers 'minders' (reporters paid by outside 'foundations' to do active reporting on old and new racial grievances - the pouring salt in wounds movement) are 'worth the money' they cost... same with forcing CRT on students despite the negative blow-back on teachers, schools, administrators and local politicians.
Tell me aquila48, how many times in your life have you compared yourself to others in your racial group compared to how many times you've compared yourself to others in your family or neighborhood or place of employment? That's my point.
