The New Racial-Derangement Syndrome

There is a growing danger in this latest round of racial tribalism. Stirring up the pot for short-term political gain in a multiracial society is abjectly insane. If the new racialism grows unchecked, it will eventually lead to cycles of backlash and counter-backlash — and some day to something like the Balkans or Rwanda.

VoxDay puts the lie to this line of reasoning.

The left is always calling on a discussion of race. Ok, let's do that.

Will my black co-workers who laugh, commiserate and eat lunch with me; who work in the inner city with the poor and the homeless alongside me turn in the end and take sides spouting the poison of Foxx and Jackson? I don't know. But for right now we get along great-no racial animosity between us-we all treat each other as co workers, friends, human beings.

I fear writers and journalists who put so much emphasis on the likes of sick race baiters like these entertainers will never write about the majority of whites and blacks who get along just great.

That's a feature, not a bug. It's an easy way for a government to cull the undesired without bloodying its own hands. In theory, at least - in practice, it tends to end up involving them at some level.
