White and Black

How the consciousness of relativity applies to the dynamics of colorism in the common language? Is the “fear of the black”, celebrated by many novelists, and visual artists such as cinema and others, fundamental, or has it landed in consciousness through centuries of intentionally categorical language?
The existential angst expressed in association with this fear, linking it to dread in the face of the unknown, or to the fear of dissolution in total otherness: alienation, an idea dear to Hegel, and even to Marx. Black is for Freud the living space of the unconscious. That is to say the hidden face of the mirror, without the knowledge of which we are not completely aware. The sign of the presence of the unconscious is precisely the feeling of alienation. But for Freud this feeling does not describe a fundamental reality, but simply a lack of understanding of the extent of the prism of consciousness. Freud is thus in opposition to Hegel and Marx, for whom alienation is real in the domains of classes and in the history of nations.
Freud introduces the notion that the other, especially the one we are afraid of, is in fact only ourselves. We use the other to define ourselves. He even underlines a contingency: he cannot be other than ourselves, especially if this other is part of the framework of our language in an essential way. Relativity is observable between comparable things. White must necessarily exist in the space defined as black, and black in that defined as white. But what roles do they play in these spaces? The intrinsically binary nature of how to construct a description was analyzed by structuralists after Freud. Here too in this reflection, there can appear a binary tendency in our comparison between the visions of alienation of Hegel and Marx on the one hand, and that of Freud on the other hand. But it is precisely about this notion of the Other that we are talking, and this, as formulated, imposed the question on a 2-dimensional space, and since then, the subject that we have to disentangle is how to get out of this reducing corner of thought. Healing is in the awareness of the needs and not that of the superfluous. Superfluous are the discourses that advocate the comfortable relativism of the unconcerned, and do not face the need for the other as a necessity for intellectual and emotional growth. To understand that one polarity needs the other to exist is to have understood the meaning of love, and perhaps also that of life.
