Thought came to me by including in the previous post citing Boris Cyrulnik: "Denial, whether mental or physical, is a defense mechanism that allows less affected by adapting to a real inconsistent. "
I think denial is widespread and commonplace when it comes to racism in our society. But our real is it inconsistent to the point that we should adapt for this denial?
is the mirror Which brings me to writing this post. I would characterize this discrepancy by the following formula:
"Please continue to be poor for our wealth!"
How, indeed, even with the lowest incomes in our western world , we still have purchasing power of tens, hundreds or thousands of times higher than in the rest of the world?
Is it not because a Westerner considers normal and legitimate to acquire goods and services that require dozens of men (or women or children) produce in the same time?
What would happen if revenues were balanced and became equivalent wherever in the world? Simply an explosive increase in the prices of manufactured goods! Thus, only the poverty of 85% of terrestrial populations allows the opulence of the remaining 15%. This poverty is a vital necessity!
However, these remaining 15% are most active when it comes to convey moral and humanistic values, when issuing hasty judgments about the reasons of poverty distant, when s 'acts of pity on violence and indecency of human misery.
That inconsistency: How to accept this imbalance crying while not denying these values "humanist"? Only the denial can achieve this feat. Denial of what? But denial and accept that we are well aware of this inconsistency, the denial that we are the beneficiaries (for some time at least), we consider the denial of humanity as heterogeneous and hierarchical, the denial that we consider normal to be at the top of this hierarchy. This certainty of normality is facing transformations West internal increasingly diverse, this normality is racism that continues to be a reflex of survival of a society gone mad.
So yes, we understand a little better this hatred that we generate.
