Differences Between Tribalism And Racism

There are many differences between tribalism and racism. These two forms of social injustice are based on hate, whether hate for a group of people or hate for a certain race. These are damaging to society and to the people who live within the society and hinder the perspective of the young children. Many would ask, though, if both are based on hate on a limited notion of the value of human rights, then what exactly are the differences of tribalism and racism?

What is Tribalism and Racism?

Tribalism is known as the grouping and organizing of people into tribes. A tribe would also be a result of the same beliefs and religious and ethnic culture of the group of people who have decided to follow each other within their group. These people who are found within the tribe possess a strong identity and are known for certain beliefs which are different from other tribes that either make them enemies or friends to each other.

Tribalism is a common practice in the outskirts of Africa and in other places where Western civilization has not reached its borders. The tribes that form practice and help each other. They search for food for the tribe and often travel together, settling in places where there is enough food and water. Tribes are known to wear clothes that are unified and have the same language and beliefs. Most tribes refuse to understand the civilized ways of modern men and still practice their old customs.

When compared to racism, it in a way can be related as tribes do not believe that those who are not part of their tribe are not better than them.

Racism is the belief that a certain race of people, usually of the same color, tend to have specific attributes that make them superior to other races and thus undermining the other races that are not of their own race. In many instances you can see that both are almost similar but tribalism and racism do have their differences.

What are the Differences of Tribalism from Racism?

The lesser evil would be tribalism as mentioned by many people and sometimes, tribes have the same races but have different beliefs and so that grouping of people take place. Racism tends to hinder people from getting employment, proper education, and causes insecurity and problems for those of a certain race because they are looked upon as inferior.
Tribalism does not hinder a person from getting employment and it does not undermine another who is from a different tribe unless the tribe it threatened.

Racism tends to judge people by their race and stops all their rights because they are not of a “chosen” race. It is individually done and the most common is among the Americans and the Black Americans. Sociologists have long tried to understand the bond of tribalism and they have understood that these people stand for cultural belief while racism simply stands for hatred of those who are different from the common race in a place such as that in the United States.

Summary:

Tribalism is known as the grouping and organizing of people into tribes. A tribe would also be a result of the same beliefs and religious and ethnic culture of the group of people that have decided to follow each other within their group.
Racism is the belief that a certain race of people, usually of the same color tend to have specific attributes that make them superior to other races and thus undermining the other races that are not of their own race.

The lesser evil would be tribalism as mentioned by many people and sometimes, tribes have the same races but have different beliefs and so that grouping of people take place. Racism tends to hinder people from getting employment, proper education and causes insecurity and problems for those of a certain race because they are looked upon as inferiors.
