Except "white" is an almost entirely synthetic, predominantly American identity. The Russian and German pogroms certainly weren't carried out under that flag.

now that seems a bad framing of that dialectic, which after all posits that the master ends up at a competitive disadvantage wrt the slave because only the latter is involved with reality which sort of competition/friction is actually productive is up to gnon
