"Race superiority" an American delusion
"Race superiority" is an American delusion created to rule over all by a few, beginning in the late 1660s in Virginia and Maryland. By subjugating blacks and those in sympathy with them in law, in custom, in commerce, in culture, and in personal practice. This delusion, this paradigm, was persistently propagated and relentlessly permeated across the land, debilitating blacks and whites, in its pernicious and noxious wake, which is rooted in lies, mythology and distortions, on every level. Eventually, the accretion of superior individual and collective acts of blacks, in a multitude of endeavors, including self-liberating acts, exposed the great lie upon which the delusion is based. Finally through war and resistance by blacks and by some non-blacks, it is abating, gradually, reluctantly away.
