I understand why people like Micah Xavier Johnson act as they do (shooting police because they enforce the white power structure). I understand why blacks have ambivalence if not hostility to white America. I understand that they want distinctive names and they don’t want to put white aka western values on a pedestal. I understand why they want to view OJ as innocent. I understand and respect their tendency to support their own. Jews and other members of tribes are the same way. <\/p>\n
Group identity theory explains this. The stronger you are in your in-group identity, the more likely you are to have negative views of outsiders. <\/p>\n
Why do many Jews have ambivalence about America? Because the stronger they are in their Jewish identity, the more likely they are to have negative views of outsiders.<\/p>\n
Why do many asian-Americans have negative views of America? Because the more they identify with their racial identity, the more likely they are to have negative views of outsiders.<\/p>\n
In short, the more diversity, the more conflict. The more diversity, the more division. A unified society is stronger than a divided society.<\/p>\n
