I think American race relations would be probably improved if we adopted Latin style racial dynamics rather than maintaining the English racial stratification and separation we inherited. Black Americans should stop seeing ourselves as "African American" and rather just see ourselves as "American" like how black Brazilians just consider themselves "Brazilian." There is zero purpose in maintaining attachment to a continent our ancestors departed 4 centuries ago and we have no material connection to.
Black Americans should probably be more intermarried than we already are. If racial barriers were more diffused post-slavery, we'd have more ethnically ambiguous Heritage American black people. The fact black Americans are still so physically reminiscent of continental Africans is a vestige of US of racial oppression.
While this absolutely does not "solve" race relations, it does obscure racial boundaries greatly. One of the reasons US racism remained much more oppressive than Latin racism, despite Brazil maintaining slavery longer, was that black Americans are much more visibly distinct and identifiable due to prohibitions on interracial relationships. As a result, race is a much more fluid class in Brazil, and you don't have as much racial agitation and racial politicking.
The typical slavery-descended black American should probably look more approximate to Ben Shelton or Zoe Kravitz than Idris Elba or Lupita N'yongo, thus representing their complete integration into the American fabric rather than a separate lump group.
I mean, I think for people in the Abrahamic tradition, this is not terribly complicated.
We support parents rights, and the rights of a parent do not expire when their child turns 18. You honor your father and mother until they're dead.
Going no contact is an egregious act.
@CoreyWriting They should vote for El-Sayed because any Democrat is better than a Republican, even if he has Islamist sympathies.
In this regard, they're putting Israeli concerns over American concerns.
