Do you think that is always necessarily the case though? Do you think that extermination is the only solution in this instance?
The desire to group together is evolutionary according to many scientists. It really doesn't matter what form the group takes. So a corporate organization is not really different than any other tribal structure.
It is the most extreme and permanent solution, but I never said it was the only one, I could seek to gain any advantages possible and abuse you in various manners instead.
Their leaders represent the whole community to others, not just a few.

Why do you think this comes down to abuse?
actually, I agree with you to a great extent. Much of what is called "racism" these days is just ordinary bigotry.
Blacks have presented their problems as a specific ethnic community. Why not address it as such?
No, groups in the black communities, groups in the Latino communities and groups in the Native American communities had leaders that said they need help. Those groups are not the sole representation of the ethnic groups wholesale, just as I myself am not the sole representative of the white British population.
If so there is little we can do about it. Evolutionary change cannot be legislated just because we don't like something about ourselves. Thoughts?

(It's a bit concerning that you think these are your only options here.)
I'm going to say: because of a very flawed understanding of the concept of Survival of the Fittest and thinking Social Darwinism is actually an evolutionary theory.
You have to consider context. In the context of something like BLM, they are specifically trying to combat racism in certain regions/countries.
If from that all you're seeing is "black people need help" and treating everyone as a homogenous group, then you're missing the real point.
I guess you gotta come and see it for yourself.
Non-answer.
My point still stands: just because the leaders of certain groups in communities say that their group needs help does not mean that the larger group as a whole needs the same help. In fact, such a thing can be harmful as much as not giving them help. Positive racism is a thing.
Yeah, as others have pointed out, this really sounds racist. You can say "some black people, some Latino people and some Native Americans could use help" and that would be sort of okay since that is a truth. Many sections of different ethnicities and races need help.
But when you just simply refer to them as groups AS A WHOLE, then it sounds racist.
It is taking the ideas of evolutionary competition and survival of the fittest applied to humanity (humans are biological organisms, correct?) to their logical conclusions/extremes. Cooperation may be possible, but the question then is: for how long?

The opposite is more likely to be true, that the whole community does indeed need help. Consider the calls from BLM to defund the police, while at the same time the majority of blacks want more police protection.

Best. Movie. Ever.Yes, it is possible tht a racist response is part of our nature. But as one of my favorite theologians, Miss Rose Sayer, once put it, "Human nature, Mr. Allnut, is what we were put in this world to rise above."
