RACIAL DIVISIONS

Roughly 63% of the population is non-Hispanic whites. There are white Latinas and non-white Latinas. They count as people of color.  All of this can complicate political analysis. Franz Fanon, a French Algerian intellectual said many things, but one is that COLOR CAN BECOME CLASS. In other words for this article, I am making an assumption that a rapid increase in people of color helps the political Right exploit this and can continue increasing power toward fascism.

As a biracial, I can easily mingle with all-whites. Further, when accepted I can speak “freely” about my background and related to non-whites. To make a paradoxical contradiction, as non-Whites increase population their power should increase. I suggest the opposite. Racism tightens and prospers when white folks lose power. The blue collar lose their class consciousness and vote for folks who would exploit them.

Sweden allowed too many non Swedish appearing immigrants into the country. This social democratic country is now moving to the right. The Left party continues its rightward direction to stay alive politically.

Although there are many variables, Norway allowed for a much smaller increase in the immigrant population. This strategy in the future will encourage a more moderate and less violent assimilation of new Norwegians. The Right is not as powerful.

A president can use his immigration strategy to retain power. He may  lean toward Right wing dictators. The wall is literal, but the metaphor is even more viable. Another president deported illegal immigrants. Immigration and fascist policies were reduced.

Fanon’s position was how the feared new immigrants cannot destroy the class consciousness of the blue collars born in the USA if the influx is moderate. Thus, the racial quota should be something like 65% white and 35% non-white. This represents   roughly the percentage of 2020.

If the Left does not support some racial quota slow down, the Right continues to win. Right now in kindergarten the split is 50/50 white, non-white
