Race

Race (Раса) is a grouping of humans based on some physical (genetic) qualities, into categories generally viewed by the society as distinct.

Discrimination of people by Racial criteria is denoted with term Racism. In the most of civilized countries, Racism is considered as unlawful, illegal.

The total ignoring of racial differences does not have commonly accepted support; it is classified as a kind of hypertrophied political correctness, exaggerated politeness.

In utopia «Tartaria», both the Racism and the exaggerated politeness are considered as a crime.

This article is loaded in order to collect various definition of term Race and various examples of the use.

Citizendium

The term race refers to humans with different physical attributes. This concept became part of the European framework of ideas at the beginning of modern history. Classical Greece and Rome were home to a large number of Africans, or Ethiopians as they were known in early Europe, without apparently any conception of “race” or species developing in those societies. In what were predominantly white societies at that time, the black man was neither romanticized nor scorned but “treated without prejudice”.

For example, as many as three black Africans served as popes – St. Victor I (189-199 AD), St. Miltiades (311-314 AD) and St. Gelasius I (492-496 AD). Most remarkably, a 9th century fresco of Miltiades shows his clear African appearance, while later representations have wiped out all traces of his African ancestry and actual facial characteristics.

“Race” as a distinction between different types of humans entered the European vocabulary towards the end of the 15th century, particularly in Iberia. It quickly came to mark Europe over the next few centuries, especially in the drive to state sovereignty; by the late 19th century, the race concept had assumed throughout Europe a sense of naturalness and a taken-for-granted ordering of social arrangements. “Science and literature, scripture and law, culture and political rhetoric all worked in subtle and blunt ways to establish the presumption of white supremacy… and black disenfranchisement”.

Nor was this confined to the West: Yan-Fu (1853-1902), the Chinese scholar who promoted Darwinian theory, considered that there were “four main races on the earth: the yellow, the white, the brown and the black… The black race is the lowest…”

By the end of the 20th century, a rather different consensus had emerged amongst academics from all disciplines – the humanities, the social sciences and the biological sciences – that biological races do not exist in humans.

Nevertheless, for a lay person the idea of race seems to have retained its value as a useful concept in managing and interpreting the world at the individual level. This “commonsense approach” thus marks out popular discourse from that of the scientific community; nor do advocates of “racialism” feel the need to justify what is, to them, obvious. The task of social science is to explain the persistence of racial beliefs, the patterns of behaviour and their consequences: it is not sufficient to deny that race exists, although social science is far from unanimous in how to deal with issues of studying racism and racial phenomena.

The White Man Burden

«White men» bring barbarians to civilization

In poem «The White Man Burden» («The White Man's Burden» ) by Rudyard Kipling, the color of skin (white race) is interpreted as symbol of belonging to the highestly-developed human civilization.

It is assumed that the white men should bring their civilization to people of other races - as it is shown in figure at right.
The British prototype] John Bull (left) and the American one Uncle Sam (right) are depicted as very strong and very honest helpers.

Such a concept is considered also in articles «Democracy for export» and «Заграница нам поможет» (in Russian).
Certain skepticism is expressed.

President Lincoln and the Sin of Presumption

https://newhousefoundation.org/Lincolns_Sin_Final.htm

Abraham Lincoln is considered by many to be one of the greatest presidents of the United States and liberator of African American slaves during the American Civil War. Yet his public and personal views on slavery were in stark contrast to much of history’s judgment of his accomplishments. Lincoln, in public addresses and private letters, considered saving the Union to be the top priority of the war and even though he was personally against slavery, really didn’t care if abolition was part of the solution to save the Union. He viewed freed African slaves to be inferior to the white race and favored colonization of slaves in Central America as opposed to integration into mainstream society.

Lincoln’s mindset towards slavery and Africans in general was completely at odds with God’s will on this issue. Lincoln experienced several recurring dreams and visions which further reinforced this disconnect, but were misinterpreted by Lincoln as meaning something else. This, along with other spiritual openings, all led Lincoln to a sin of presumption – one of willful arrogance.

Lincoln’s Views on Slavery and African American Slaves

In speeches and private letters quoted below, Lincoln espoused his views on slavery, Africans in general and the civil war. In summary, Lincoln believed:

· Even with freedom, the black race would never be equal with the white race,

· America was fighting a civil war because of slavery and the black race, implying that the Civil War was the fault of the slaves,

· It would be best if both races were separated because of all the suffering experienced by both whites and blacks,

· Abolishing slavery was not a priority of Lincoln’s – it was saving the Union,

· The answer to separation of the races was the colonization of freed slaves in a land other than America, and

· Slavery would have gradually disappeared by itself over time.

Inequality of the Races

On August 14, 1862, Lincoln addressed a delegation of free black men that he had invited to the White House. In the address, Lincoln shared his thoughts on, among other things, the suffering of both races, white and black, as a result of slavery. Even though he was personally against slavery, his comments to this delegation not only revealed his total lack of sensitivity to all black people, but he also blamed them for the civil war! In his address he stated:

“… You and we are different races. We have between us a broader difference than exists between almost any other two races. Whether it is right or wrong I need not discuss, but this physical difference is a great disadvantage to us both, as I think your race suffer very greatly, many of them by living among us, while ours suffer from your presence. In a word we suffer on each side. If this is admitted, it affords a reason at least why we should be separated…

Your race are suffering, in my judgment, the greatest wrong inflicted on any people. But even when you cease to be slaves, you are yet far removed from being placed on an equality with the white race. You are cut off from many of the advantages which the other race enjoy. The aspiration of men is to enjoy equality with the best when free, but on this broad continent, not a single man of your race is made the equal of a single man of ours. Go where you are treated the best, and the ban is still upon you.

I do not propose to discuss this, but to present it as a fact with which we have to deal. I cannot alter it if I would. It is a fact, about which we all think and feel alike, I and you. We look to our condition, owing to the existence of the two races on this continent. I need not recount to you the effects upon white men, growing out of the institution of slavery. I believe in its general evil effects on the white race. See our present condition – the country engaged in war! – our white men cutting one another’s throats, none knowing how far it will extend; and then consider what we know to be truth. But for your race among us there could not be war, although many men engaged on either side do not care for you one way or the other. Nevertheless, I repeat, without the institution of slavery and the colored race as a basis, the war could not have an existence.

It is better for us both, therefore, to be separated….”[1] (emphasis added)

Tartaria

Black	Red	Yellow	White

Differences of races are mentioned in utopia Tartaria. According to the official Tartaria doctrine, there are 4 basic races: Black, Red, Yellow and White. The representatives of these races are shown in figure at right.

In the Tartaric textbook on Humanity, the Races are described in the following way:

Black race. Black race is characterized with black skin, black curly hair, flat wide nose, big lips. Most of blacks are told, although the small pygmies also can be qualified as "black". Black people are strong in dancing, sport and in reproduction; they are, generally, healthy. Black people have very smart immune system, but not so resistant with respect to drugs, including smoking and alcohol. Hybridization of black people with other races gives many famous, extraordinary persons.
Black race is very important for the development of Humanity.

Red race. Red race is characterized with curly black or red hair, a dark, a little bit red skin, big nose. Jews, Arabians, Indians and most of pre-European Americans can be qualified as red. Red races are smart in business, sport, art and science. They have strong immune system, but they are vulnerable with respect to new and dangerous ideas. Many smart discoveries are made by researchers of red race through kiloyears, since the Arabian numbers to General theory of Relativity.
Red race is very important for the development of Humanity.

Yellow race. Yellow race is characterized with yellow color of skin; usually black straight hair, flat face, black slanted eyes. Most of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and, in general, South-Eeast Asian can be qualified as Yellows. People of Yellow race are smart and accurate in following the established rules; this makes them excellent workers. Significant part of the world goods (perhaps, majority) is manufactured by the yellow race.
Yellow race is very important for the development of the Humanity.

White race. People of White race have almost white skin, gray or blue eyes, straight, light color of hair, small nose. White people are vulnerable to self-organization to the dangerous and aggressive groups by any criteria: racial, religious, nationals. White people are not so strong in self-defense: on century 20, two biggest world wars had been organized with involvement of many white people. Many white people are smart in formulation of non-trivial, not-expected concepts and solutions. Many technical and scientific inventions of centuries 19 and 20, including steam machines and airplanes, had been made by the people of White race.
White race is very important for the development of the Humanity.

The Tartaria classification is primitive, but it helps to specify a person. It is important because all the four race are widely presented in Tartaria.

In Tartaric the history of century 20 is presented as war between «Red» and «White» races. First, at Moscovia, the Reds win and exterminate all other races (in such a way, the World War I is interoreted); then the White race upraising at Germany try together revenge and to exterminate all «Red»s (id best, Jews and Jypsies); bot Reds and Whites suffer horrible losses and destruction, and only the heroic efforts of the USA and the UK stops the genocide; they succeed to liberate from fscism the Western Europe. To end to century 20, the Central Europe is liberated too, but Eastern part of Europe and North of Asia remain under control of fascists, that are absolutely non-sective with respect to race, their nazism (so-called Russki mir) refer to worshiping of their language and their furrier. This leads to Bigpuf, total crash of all the state institute, war btween Mocovian offee with use of al kinds of weapon, contamination of North, Center and East of Eurasia and death of the most of population of Moscovia. «The modern Tartaria» (century 22) try to avoid such errors («Never Again») and carry about any kind of discrimination, including the racial one.
In Tartaria, any aggressive action, justified with the race (general genetic morphology of body of the victim) is qualified as Racism and considered as serious crime. The personage Nata Kiskin did not know this; she uses word "черножопая", attacking Barbara Smit, and gets serious problems with Tartaric justice.
Any jokes with respect to anybody's race, not related with an aggression, are, contrary, very popular. In any non-aggressive context, word "черножопая" would be interpreted as and admiration with Barbara's race and interpreted as compliment (id est, not as an offense, not as a crime at all).
In particular, term «Nigger» (referring to the black or dark dolor of somebody skin) is not considered as offensive.

Warning

Any point of view on races can be considered as TORI. Especially if the concept satisfies the TORI axioms.

The interpretation above should not be treated as a promotion of discrimination of anyone for the race criteria.

The interpretation above should not be treated as a promotion of any race:
neither for reasons of "superiority" of some race
nor for the "politcorrecntess" and protection of some races.

By the 17th century the term began to refer to physical (phenotypical) traits. Modern science regards race as a social construct, an identity which is assigned based on rules made by society.[2] While partially based on physical similarities within groups, race does not have an inherent physical or biological meaning.[1][3][4]
