I agree with you that, absent of a few peripheral physical traits like skin colour, there is no fundamental difference between the races of humanity. Races are socially constructed- they are not biological, however this does not mean that the notion of race has no material effect on the world or relations between different groups. In a better world, the notion of separate races would be irrelevant. I do not believe that the tensions between ethnicities arise out of some innate biological dynamic of racial difference- racial tensions are social, cultural and economic, not biological. The White Supremacist social, cultural and economic history of the United States has created a situation of tension between White Americans and African, Hispanic and Native Americans, due to White cultural and economic hegemony. Absent of this historical and material context, I am sure that these ethnic groups could live together without this tension. I sincerely hope that it is possible in the coming decades, to ease and eventually eliminate this tension by various social, political and economic means. Any kind of separation should be the very last resort, after all other means to heal this tension have been employed and proven to have failed.
You are correct to point out that it would be difficult for most White Americans (or White British for that matter) to identify their community leaders. I had assumed that if tensions had escalated to the point of large scale violence, then Whites, and other Americans would naturally gravitate around some kind of community based hierarchy as a form of collective defence, and that the key to preventing a rising escalation of violence would be to identify the more moderate, non-supremacist voices in these hierarchies and ensure that, via negotiation and agreement with other community leaders, the process of separation already begun could proceed without further violence.

Such a bizarre line of thinking. You start off by admitting races essentially don't exist, and people can't actually be divided up by race. Then you invent a scenario where everyone has self-divided into races and started fighting each other, and want to discuss it. It's entirely contradictory and the fact that you talk about the second part even semi-seriously makes people think you don't actually believe the first part. That's why people think you're racist.

Well first up, you suggested this idea in a modern context, not some imaginary race war future. What you're basically describing is a situation where those social and economic problems have been ramped up, where the white supremacists are getting what they want, and saying that maybe the solution to this terrible situation is to finally just do what the Nazis wanted all along - separate the white race, and all the other races, so they can live apart (thus solving all the prejudice and economic inequality that was causing all the problems)

Even IF this fantasy race war was taking place, which it isn't, you're still ultimately accepting that white supremacist argument as a legitimate solution. And because this situation is not happening, at all, why would you even go there instead of talking about the social issues that divide populations and set people against each other, the inequality that compounds it, the prejudice that encourages people to see these problems as arising from ethnic traits and view others as outsiders and foreign rivals?

There are people who like to frame the problem as a racial one solved only by separation, they're bad people with very bad ideas so why would you throw in with that? That's what people are pissed off about - in the current climate you're echoing that rhetoric, and it was never some tortured post-apocalyptic turboracist future scenario - you were talking about America, right now

I apologise if I expressed myself in such a way as to make it appear that I was advocating for this kind of separation in the present day US. I do not. I recognise that whilst tensions exist today, we are not in a situation where the multiracial consensus has entirely collapsed- not even Trump has done this. There are many more initiatives to try before that state of affairs is reached. It would be preferable if the correct initiatives could be implemented to reduce or eliminate racial tension in the United States. I have always believed it prudent to hope for success, but prepare for failure, and any talk of separation I view with this in mind. It is certainly more profitable to discuss methods of reducing or eliminating racial tension arising from inequality in the United States and here at home, which is why I had elected to cease discussion of it until it was recently invoked as a personal indictment. I am no expert when it comes to race-relations and reconciliation, however it is certainly the case that the economic, educational and cultural fortunes of the African, Hispanic and Native American communities must be raised so that they are on par with those of the White American community. There are many ways of achieving this- the enforcement of name-blind recruitment across both public and private sector employment, the establishment of employment quotas in the public sector to ensure that the national demographics of the US are reflected in its civil and public servants, the issuing of all ethnic minority shortlists in elections for legislatures. etc. However, many have argued for these initiatives before me and with greater eloquence and knowledge. As such, I thought it better to discuss the regrettable necessity of planning for a future in which said initiatives failed. On this point, I was probably mistaken.

Actually it's not. It's valid to argue that all men are equal and yet if people insist on using social constructs for race - or gender, or anything else really - we have two choices. Either we educate everyone out of their bad habit, or if that proves impossible we adapt society to reduce and preferably eliminate the discord caused by our fundamental inability as human beings to say "that person is no better or worse than I am just because he's different".

Where Adonis's argument collapses is that it's been proven possible to re-educate people in the great majority of cases. Thus, any attempt to reorganise society is pandering to the minority who cannot or will not change. To put it more simply, the creation of ethnically divided states is racist no matter how pure the intent.

Except racial background is basically infinitely variable, so there's no way this race war could ever come to pass on a national or international scale. However many people chose to identify with a certain racial group there would be huge numbers who didn't. So yes, some people could engage in conflict based on their ideas of race. But it doesn't in any way follow that their ideas of race are correct or could be applied to the rest of us.

Biological races do not exist, and nature in and of itself does not divide by race. Unfortunately, the historical experience of European colonisation of the Americas, dispossession of the Native Americans and the transatlantic slave trade have engineered racial differences on a purely political and economic basis- race is a social construct. Racial difference in the United States is seen most clearly through the lens of social, political and economic inequality, which are the harbingers of racial tension. It is not the case that people simply elected to 'self-divide' by race by some innate biological impulse- they came about over generations of material inequality that enabled the White elites to maintain African Americans as slaves and then a dispossessed labour class by the granting of certain privileges of political representation, suffrage and property to poorer Whites- which ultimately resulted in the inequality and oppressor-oppressed dynamic that we see today. This has created an understandable tension between oppressed and oppressor. This is ultimately the basis of racial difference in the United States and unfortunately, makes race a reality. People have not consciously 'self-divided' into different races- a history of inequality has done that. This division is best resolved by efforts to reduce the inequality that is the basis of race. However, if the White majority refuses to make sufficient effort to end this inequality, then conflict fostered by this inequality and fought along racial lines is a foreseeable consequence, followed by a desire to separate from an oppressor. My discussion of ethno-states only related to the mitigation of violence should this state of affairs be reached. I must stress that the preferable course is one of racial reconciliation by reducing inequality within the United States and without any kind of racial separation.
