Portraits of Racial Politics

“It is the custom of scholars when addressing behavior and culture to speak variously of anthropological explanations, psychological explanations, biological explanations, and other explanations appropriate to the perspectives of individual disciplines. I have argued that there is intrinsically only one class of explanation. It traverses the scales of space, time, and complexity to unite the disparate facts of the disciplines by consilience, the perception of a seamless web of cause and effect.” Edward O. Wilson, Consilience: The unity of knowledge How could interdependent politics, studying win/win v win/lose power relationships and transactions, in communication’s trust/untrust dipolarity in communion’s positive v negative interweaving transubstantiations, be a compassionately humane science without also knowing imaginative co-empathy? evolving poli-ecotherapy's powerful EarthCare differentiations and enlightening AnthroHealthCare integrations.

The political evolutions of trauma-informed reliably compassionate democracy have become Favorite Sons/Daughters of positive religion's political scientists, just as totalitarian monopolies of elite-invested power have become the scientist’s Straw Man for socio- and eco-pathology opposing mature polypathic political-economic powers needing to effectively advocate for global peace-therapeutic win/win health and wealth outcomes. With this normative assumption of political health science, we evolve toward ever more inclusive and therefore hopeful panentheistic emergence of cooperatively organized empathic trust between political-economic cultural behaviorists. The politics of healthy regenerative behaviors unveil the arts and sciences of co-empathic synergetic trust as dipolar contrasted to distrustful mutual win/lose 0-sum devolutionary assumptions antipathy between natural/spiritual law-abiding individuals, families, subcultures, panentheistically indigenous tribes with monoculturally competing histories. In Empathy and Democracy Michael E. Morrell critiques “Agonistic theories… because they tend to reify conflict to the detriment of possible cooperation and do not adequately theorize why we should expect people to remain [loyal] adversaries rather than become enemies.” (pp. 194-5) What is this difference between a political adversary and an enemy if not continued respect for co-empathic possibilities for mutual trust in more cooperative political outcomes through a “consilience” of mutually co-empathic humility. We can learn to become grateful for adversaries to produce a more optimally discerned power of win/win love outcome. On the other hand, if we succumb to monocultural supremacist love of monopolistic power political thinking as always and everywhere competitive partisan WinLose strategic then our political choice of enemies for all “loser” roles and rules precludes full maturation of a healthy cooperative democracy for every economic Earthbody, every political Anthromind. Shayla C. Nunnally uses the language of trust and curiosity about mistrust and active distrust to mine understanding U.S. racial-trauma politics (Trust in Black America: Race, discrimination, and politics). Perhaps trust refers to the cognitive syllogism side of panentheistic feelings, positive and negative being Yang-defined bipolar and positive/negative still becoming Yin-refined dipolar co-arising absence of +/+ win/win trust appears if and only if absence of co-empathic co-passionate communication. How might we pursue the informing arts and communication sciences of politically empowering transracial and inter-religious trust given the historical predator v prey brands of slavery and zealous monotheistic colonization? The cooperative optimization of future generations’ health and safety is an indigenous political-economic dialectical agenda, apparently supported by regenerative neuro/ecosystemic win/win peace-evolving panentheistic-rooted natural/spiritual EarthBody/AnthroMind compassionate trust resonant Yang/Yin polypathic bilateral hypostatic reunion processes expanding our inter-religioning Golden Rule to embrace all crown communication sages and love root communing muses living and not yet living divine wealth and no longer loving humane health.
