Abstract
Contrasting the leadership styles of Donald Trump and Barack Obama, this essay discusses the complex roots that foster and feed racism, nationalism, and ethnic fears. The work of African American social critics and artists, sociologists, and Eric Berne’s writings on group psychology and existential life positions are drawn on to illustrate the psychological and social depths that underpin and motivate racial, ethnic, and nationalistic bias and hatred. The author describes efforts to address and work through some of the social and economic consequences of racism through the efforts of his own community. The forces contained within the contemporary rise of nationalism and populism are complex. These can be—and must be—seen from multiple points of view.
