What people intiated the construction of a race based caste system?
the wealthy
What race of people benefit the most from this racial categorization?
see above
Through-out recorded history what race of people have committed the most atrocities based upon the subjection of another outside of their race?
this is impossible to calculate but i presume that an ideology of superiority to other races has always existed at some point in time for the majority of races on this planet as an instrument of control.
What race of people have the most to lose at the removal of a racial supremacist infrastructure that entraps humanity?
Every elite class, which exploits racism to perpetuate the status-quo and maintain the current socio-economic structure
Do people understand that racism cannot just be forgotten?
Ironically, isn't that what keeps it alive as well?
Do people understand that racism has played a valuable role in the political-economical-social reality of the world as we know?
Absolutely. Imo people know that either consciously or subconsciously.
Do people understand that in order for racism to be trully revoked from society its gonna take more than a smiling gesture at a stranger of another ethnicity?
I think it should start with economic equality.
Do people understand that the practices that implemented racism must be undone? As in meaning the laws, policies, and economical practices that uphold one people over another must be throughly abolished?
The people who have the power to do so, are the ones who will lose the most from it. This change will not come from inside the system by their doing imo.
Do people understand that if racism is revoked then we must also revoke the apprasial of anybody whom ever supported racial superiortiy?
Yes, but passing laws will not change the group consciousness of society. At most, it will make it less conspicuous.
Question, how did the elitist class of society become elite? Has race always been a benefactor of their isolation?
I agree with your sentiments half-heartly but we must remember that even before the economical system of capitalism, the color caste race system has been into play.
The infrastructure of class and the politics and economics that uphold its self-preservation is just simply a by-product of the xenophobic condition that we know as racism. As far as your answer to the most comittied atrocities, we know that in almost every recorded example, the phenotypical traits that were subjected for whatever reason are held in common, the most
well known would be "dark skin" under the subjection of a more "transparent colorless tone" i.e. white (albinism). If we were to look back in history and take accordance of
race based issues we can commonly narrow down the antagonism between two collective groups, "Whites" & "Non-Whites", "Whites"being the benficary of the complex
of race today, and the fact that on every continent on this planet, in the culture of all civilized people, the white image has been graphed through colonialism can contest for that.
Hardly anywhere in this world is the white image displayed (advertised) with the lowest attributes of character that were created to diminsh the image of the "Non-white".
Even if we were to break down the wealth gap in this country today and pinpoint these "elitist" we would come to the same conclusion. They are mostly if not entirely "White".
The first color caste system that came into being around 2000-1500 B.C. initiated by a people known as the Aryans, a branch of Indo-Europeans which broke off from the great
migrations out of the ice of Europe in the 2nd millienum B.C. In the tounge of these peoples "Sanskrit" Aryan means "noble one", their word Varna is synomonous with caste and color. For these people taught religiously through Brahmanism, an admixture of the indigeous religions and their own mental distortions, that the color of a person skin would tell what class functioning theyare to occupy. The God Brahma was anthromorphized and from head to feet, the color code was implemented, at the top white and at the bottom black. The Whites were considered to be the priest-hood, the unquestionable class of their society, the blacks were the "Sudras" meaning the slaves. This is just one classic example of racism and its origins and of whom initiated what practices and benfited the most. Even before the contempary applications that we see today even existied. To learn more historically start from here......
