[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wally: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [b] I hope people don't take this the wrong way but I often notice that since many Americans don't really have a fundamental culture they wallow in the whole idea of race and racial classification. Most Egyptians in Egypt don't care about these issues because no matter their color they are part of a cultural base... [/b][/QUOTE] Ausar, I think the distinction is not cultural but ideological and that is determined by the material conditions of a particular group: For example, African-Americans and Black South Africans, both groups the product of a modern industrialized society, would likely have more in common materially and therefore ideologically, as opposed to , let's say a Somali national - the product of a rural, non-industrial society. (The Somali, for example, did not consider that they were at war with Ethiopia but rather at war with the Amhara.) There is no right or wrong to this disparity, nor is any better or worse than. It simply is, by reason of different material conditions, inevitably that way. Race and racism is a very real and significant component of modern White, Western Industrialized Society, a material consequence of its [i]global[/i] hegemony over diverse peoples and nations...
