It Ain't Necessarily So: Racism vs. Tribalism in America

Racism is a peculiar thing.....loaded with accusations, yet lacking real practical solutions. Perhaps this is because in attacking racism people are not actually recognizing the true root cause, that primary cause which lies beneath all of the superficial gut reaction. It Ain’t Necessarily So comes at the problem from a different direction, namely that the root cause of both inter-racial and intra-racial conflict is in fact not racism, but tribalism... a candidate for actual root cause which does not really give a damn what color or race we are. Tribalism, it turns out, is an equal opportunity offender.
