On racial violence

http://lukeford.net/blog/?p=123687

I think one of the most interesting incidents of a pogrom was the Highland Clearances. These Christian people of the same and clan did it to each other.

Being the same nationality, looking like the perpetrators, being the same religion and in the same clan as the perpetrators ultimately offers no protection when the chips are down and the ballon goes up. The son of the first man and woman committed fratricide.

Statistically, we are still more likely to be murdered by someone we have had consensual sex with, our spouse, our parents or our children.

After all, genocide was a term that was coined after such terms as patricide, matrricide, sororicide, fratricide, filicide, mariticide and unxoricide were invented.

Even now there is no word, as far as I know, for murder of a citizen by illegal immigrant of another race and religion. 

Good government and good laws are the only protection we have.

Soviet measures in the area of minority rights became known as “nationalities policies,” after the Russian legal term natsional’nost’ that captures a cultural identity of a group and a citizen, while also having a political component. Nationality linked a specific group to an explicitly defined territory, which that group was entitled to administer as its officially recognized historical homeland.
