even if one assumes that racial animosity is a removable social defect, this assumes a false anthropology. difference is not produced by history alone, nor dissolved by education. it precedes both. what modern discourse calls “racism” is often a distorted survival of distinctions that once had metaphysical and civilizational meaning.
there is the race of the body, the race of the soul, and the race of the spirit. modern debates fixate on the first while denying the latter two, reducing race either to crude biology or dismissing it as illusion altogether. both positions miss the point. when higher differentiations are denied, lower ones assert themselves.
in traditional orders, difference was integrated into hierarchy and form. it did not require obsession, because it was embedded in structure. In the modern world, where all higher criteria are flattened, biological difference becomes charged with resentment and anxiety, taking on a pathological character.
thus racism does not disappear with moral condemnation. it intensifies when distinction is denied in principle but experienced in fact. the question is not whether difference can be erased, but whether civilization possesses a framework capable of ordering it without degeneration.
where spiritual hierarchy exists, racial consciousness is secondary and restrained. where it collapses, race becomes a surrogate metaphysics - explosive, irrational, and destructive.
i originally posted this reply to a different forum, I thought that it could be of substance here as well.
