EVOLVING ANTINOMIES

Throughout the evolution of American history, among and between the "racial" antinomies of persons red, black, brown, yellow, and white, individual acts of humanity have been historically overwhelmed and smothered by the opposite antinomy, or counter-tendency, imposing lawful and customary oppression and extermination corporately upon "colored" persons. Fortunately, that negative antinomy of "white supremacy" is yielding to the more sane, scientific, and spiritually humane antinomy of individual merit; such is  based not on the "color of one's skin, but on the content of one's character," to paraphrase the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who, himself embodied defined and projected such many antinomies in his life, education, and Christian leadership methodology.
