Americans: A Racial Tragedy (Chapter I – The Vernacular Seed)

When the first Europeans docked in America’s coastline, they did not find nor created a “new world,” but rather, remodeled a new one.

This process is often entitled of “Colonialism.”

– Colonialism is the substitution of one’s culture over another, brought in by outsiders and either adopted under acceptance or forced in host populations through assimilation.

In all facets of Colonialism, social connections between the host populations and colonizers are vital.
Hence, the reproduction of America and it’s racial structure was no different than the notion of cohesion between “aliens” and inhabitants, and thus it’s commixture.

In the building of America, Interracial marriage was the maniple ingredient of the colonial project that benefited the basic necessities such as food and lofty ambitions, like political power.
It eased the new cross-cultural encounters in ways that brought temporary peace, but could not ultimately stop the progression of European dominance over natives.

It helped to spread the Christian religion as well as explain Native culture to ‘White’ men. Whom turned females into auxiliary players akin to commodities and placed them in positions of influential and economical power.
It helped to meld Natives and Europeans together while consequentially producing an offspring who would later be viewed as degenerate. It also filled the simple role that all marriage does by providing two people with a partner to help and support them.

Since the European disembarkation in the New World, the first proposition that Europeans were susceptible upon settling was on how to acquire food.
But, since Traders did not possess the required time nor the regional knowledge for growing food or hunting in foreign land, they had to establish good relations and strengthen their connections with the Natives in order to survive. Therefore, Traders relied on the Indigenous populations for food as they were traveling. They prompted that interracial marriages could be the key in the sowing of America, even if only useful for attaining food to eat, but foremost, for the foundational social ties of the fur trade, established through marriage.

In the “middle ground” of the fur trade, post-contact North America, the traditional roles of Indigenous women were limited till expanded, and their actions as negotiators, sexual partners, intercultural emissaries, spouses, workers, and members of intricate kin networks became increasingly important.

These marriages between European men and Native women were encouraged by Iroquois leaders, as a way to create a social bond reinforcing the economic relationship between the two groups.

Events like these can all be seen, perhaps, in the most famous interracial marriage of all time, between John Rolfe and Pocahontas, depicted in Brueckner’s painting entitled: “The Marriage of Pocahontas”.

As Kaarin Mann described Brueckner’s painting:

“…all are smiling and healthful looking. The Indians are shown wearing cloth goods that would have been gained, wearing cloth goods that would have been gained through the fur trade, illustrating that trade agreements had been arranged and were working smoothly.

The marriage is clearly happening inside a church. The Ten Commandments from the Bible are posted on the wall behind the priest who is leading the ceremony. Both Whites and Indians are brought into the church through Pocahontas’ and Rolfe’s marriage in a physical sense that points to their likely spiritual conversion.

The presence of a child in the front row serves as a representation of the child this marriage would produce, Thomas Rolfe.

The simple joy of partnership is represented by the couple holding hands and the serene, happy face Brueckner gives Pocahontas. An open window shows the world outside full of promising sunshine that flows into the room to illuminate the blissful couple as if the whole world were made new through their union. Perhaps the world was made new.

Pocahontas and Rolfe would have been one of the first interracial marriages between a White and an Indigenous in America, starting a long line of marriages which
would help shape America into what it is today.”

Here are some renowned celebrities, whom have a high degree of Indigenous ancestry.

America an incalculable concept. A mongrel nation built under a non-selective but uniform racial digestion, of bits and pieces that seem discordant out of many, one.

“Of all the nations in the world, the United States was built in nobody’s image. It was the land of the unexpected, of unbounded hope, of ideals, of quest for an unknown perfection. It is all the more unfitting that we should offer ourselves in images. And all the more fitting that the images which we make wittingly or unwittingly to sell America to the world should come back to haunt and curse us.”

In America’s racially complex system, there isn’t much talk about race, or what does really define the race of a person. Other than judging by the phenotype of an individual, Americans categorize themselves based on their looks, rather than their genetic make up.

America, a country built on foreign immigration and assimilation between different races encountered in every corner of the orb, was susceptible to practice interracial like in no other emplacement.

The United States of America itself is a race-less country.

A Melting Pot of people, where modern day Americans don’t belong to a particular racial group, but to a segment of multiracial people with no particular identity or assortment.

This being said, Americans are product of miscegenation between different races, through it’s course of fabric. A country built on interracial procreation, when in all fairness it’s only adequate to assert that Americans are part of a new race. The Mongrel race.

As Geoffrey C. Ward put it, an historian and documentary filmmaker, who wrote the article entitled “Mongrel Nation” published in Smithsonian Magazine in November 2001, shortly after the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C. Ward wrote: “We (Americans) are a mongrel people, and at our best, we glory in it.” Ward argued that the Civil War was won by a highly diverse Union army that was made up largely of African Americans and immigrants, while the American Revolutionary War was won by a diverse group of ordinary soldiers of virtually every occupation. The society, Ward wrote, was built on “classless equality.

Either White, Black, Brown or Yellow by Phenotype…The Genotype of the Americans has become a bowl of colorful cereals mixed altogether, having slowly absorbed each others’s bloodline into what we came to know today as the declared average American mutt.

Since the colonization of the Americas, during the Cotton Plantation passing through Rodeo times, to the modern days of today…Americans were prone to practice interracial like no other country. And they freely did it, either by professedly will or secrecy.

This fact alone, is presentable on the character of the Americans. And thus, not an excuse to be hidden.

It is a testimonial in American Culture and a token of deposition in American History earnest in movies, music and even pornography, where interracial is celebrated in a National scene of vainglory in America.

No other country in the world has practiced and promoted the act of Interracial practice, as Americans did.
No other country or people of the world, did this, but Americans.

As White-Americans kept decreasing in numbers (due to low natality rates and high miscegenation ratio), Blacks propagated themselves growing along side the waves of the newly immense fertilizing Mexicans (or Mestizos)  into the country, with other minor minorities alike, brushing the last pure White-Americans.

The American President is perhaps the best example.
Barack Obama the most famous American today, is half White and half Black. He is the face of America. And thus, the face of every American.

It should be noted that, America is the first country in the West to have a ‘colored’ President in the chair.

Up to this day, the United States of America remains the only country in the world where Interracial is a common practice in society, accepting new clarets in the sackcloth, having led (and still leading) the charts in the act of Interracial, as no form of taboo.

Americans themselves are the leaders of interracial procreation.

The “Americanization” (synonymous to Mongrelization) in a collective manner of diversity between differential Ethnic groups has been the quantum to this racial deduction, notably on frontiers, where different groups of people came together.

As Adolf Hitler, dictator of Nazi Germany, put in describing the American race, as a “mongrel race”, that of the result of intermarrying different races, he writes on his book, “Mein Kampf” in 1927, that the ultimate goal of the Jews was the “promiscuous bastardization of other peoples” and the “domination of the racial mishmash ….” As dictator, he forbid marriages between Germans and the races he considered subhuman — Jews and Slavs. Hitler assured his aides that the United States would not be able to conquer Germany because Americans were a mongrel people.

Today, ‘White’-Americans are part of a perpendicular Multi-ethnic breed, having consequently inherited the necessary residual manifold fragmentation of several other races, through integration, in the route of American history.

These ulterior circumstances contributed to the modern day genetic make up and identity of the average White-American.
An amalgamation of races, fused in the frame of America, where the word “Pure” is no way nearby the word “American”.
