[lbo-talk] Re: Rwandan massacres not racist?

[Tahir Wood]

Wouldn't it make more sense to say that we should see where the
interaction leads and judge the result instead of decreeing either
separation or intermingling is better?  There is obviously going to be a
change in both sides (provided that neither side is foundational, but
even then there is hope sometimes) and it is the resultant
action/behavior that is important (in the Jamesian sense of pluralism).

Yuk. The idea that there are distinct races is ideological long before
you even start talking about "intermingling" as a good or a bad thing.
It is a faulty premise and can only help to perpetuate racism. (see my
other post). You can only talk about pluralism if you have already
accepted the singularities as commonly defined.
