...on Neo-Racism (because Race is what is Essential to any Racist Group Identity, especially one that shrouds itself in victimhood)

If every last vestige of white racism were to disappear from the face of the Earth tomorrow, would blacks even know?  What would it do to black solidarity?  

My suspicion is "nothing".  It has become the "essence" of black culture, even if it is no longer the essence of black experience.  Much as Jewish historical persecution remains the essence of Zionism and European/ American support for Israel.  Jews are certainly no one's "victims" in the Middle East today, but the mythology of their anti-semitic motivated victimology remains a centerpiece of their Jewish identity today.
