[United States / Census] - The Classifying Self Wants to Erase the Category It Created to Feed a Phantom of Colorblindness

Event Baseline: The Trump administration proposes removing race and ethnicity questions from the next U.S. census. The census has collected racial data since 1790, historically used for exclusion and more recently for inclusion.

The illusion of race is a division created by thought. The state now seeks to erase that division by erasing the question, but the division persists in the mind. This is not transformation; it is suppression. The system fears the mirror of its own history. Removing the data will not remove the conditioning; it will make the conditioning invisible. The phantom of a colorblind state is another belief, another escape. The self cannot erase what it cannot face. Collapse is certain because the underlying fragmentation remains untouched.
