What does this mean? It is much the same as the problem of free will. The racist generally does not want to acknowledge sameness, yet the idea of difference in the races depends on it. If man is made in a single image, by God, then it is not his physical and biological features which make him, they are only the barest reflections of creation. What is more significant, in terms of strength, beauty, law, etc., is what he makes of this creation, the free will he exerts together as a people, his unification with the land and constitution which helps him overcome it. In other words, man is not only created by the land, his nation, the word of God, and so on, but he also carries these powers with him. They make each other in turn, and thus race is like the sculpture being cut out of stone, already there as a mass but requiring a perfect vision to make whole. In this sense, a divine concept of race is as much a removal of excess, of the muck of creation which God includes in the world as a test.

It should be obvious that biological conceptions of race never get to this core, and like the eyes of a geologist or technician can only think of the chemical and mineral consitution of stone - or perhaps simply blowing it up.
It is no mistake that biological conceptions of race come about at that moment in European history begins to lose all of its own distinction and so must find it elsewhere. The dialects of the peasants take on a noble character which must be destroyed by the new technical race of man.
Seen from this perspective the biological conception of race sees the inferior races much in the same way as those old classes and aristocrats who had to be wiped out by revolutionas and national wars.

A further assurance to the jannies. Some of the comments will seem like "/pol/ shit" but please remember what happened last time
>>/lit/thread/17671027
When you moved the thread they said it was "cuck shit" and it got slid instantly.

I will try to keep the shitposting to a minimum while also ensuring the thread doesn't get buried like all the others in eceleb shit.
Herder's 'racism' is a bit of irony and artistic character.

Dearest Tranny Janny. /pol/ has confirmed that this is not in fact a /pol/ thread. They think it is "cuck shit". So please leave this literature effort thread up. I put time into it to actually have a discussion.

>Why the fuck is this cuck thread here in /pol/?
>Some of the new jannies are royaly fucked up

Tocqueville is peak literature, the quote is from one of the greatest works of literature ever written. It is on a specific topic, from a specific book and follows all of the rules. I made it clear that my intention is to discuss literature and the ideas of this specific aspect of the book, and made effortposts.I

It is a philosophy discussion on a specific topic, race as it relates to state law. It is not politics, nor does it belong on /his/.

You got baited by some tranny redditor pretending to spam two sides just so there'd be an excuse to delete the thread.

And with all the trash on the board there's no reason to delete this. So stop being a lazy doublefaggot and do your job. Ban the redditor who baited you and clean up the catalog which is 90% trash or off-topic.

For your convenience, start with this

Janny, Tocqueville is peak literature. With all the trash on the board there's no reason to delete this. Don't be a faggot.

"As soon as it is admitted that the whites and the emancipated blacks are placed upon the same territory in the situation of two alien communities, it will readily be understood that there are but two alternatives for the future; the negroes and the whites must either wholly part or wholly mingle. I have already expressed the conviction which I entertain as to the latter event. I do not imagine that the white and black races will ever live in any country upon an equal footing. But I believe the difficulty to be still greater in the United States than elsewhere. An isolated individual may surmount the prejudices of religion, of his country, or of his race, and if this individual is a king he may effect surprising changes in society; but a whole people cannot rise, as it were, above itself. A despot who should subject the Americans and their former slaves to the same yoke, might perhaps succeed in commingling their races; but as long as the American democracy remains at the head of affairs, no one will undertake so difficult a task; and it may be foreseen that the freer the white population of the United States becomes, the more isolated will it remain. "

(Can't remember if this quote directly follows.)

"If I were called upon to predict what will probably occur at some future time, I should say, that the abolition of slavery in the South will, in the common course of things, increase the repugnance of the white population for the men of color. I found this opinion upon the analogous observation which I already had occasion to make in the North. I there remarked that the white inhabitants of the North avoid the negroes with increasing care, in proportion as the legal barriers of separation are removed by the legislature; and why should not the same result take place in the South? In the North, the whites are deterred from intermingling with the blacks by the fear of an imaginary danger; in the South, where the danger would be real, I cannot imagine that the fear would be less general."

"If one wants to hold on to the word "race", then one must understand it as the expression of the form. It shapes the type through the ethnic strata.

If the worker were to perceive himself as a race in the old sense, a stable empire could be the result. But the struggle breaks out within the highest representations of the figure of the worker. This is the basis of progress and its rapidity.

The transformation is preceded by the erosion of old layers. The Negro with the wristwatch. His barbarism now becomes visible, as if little talismans were attached to him."
