According to Ludwik Fleck in his, “Genesis and Development of A Scientific Fact” --"The greatest error of individualistic psychology is the assumption that a personthinks. This leads to a continual search for the source of thought within the individual himself and for the reasons why he thinks in a particular way and not in any other. What actually thinks within a person is not the individual himself but his social community. The source of his thinking is not within himself but is to be found in his social environment and in the very social atmosphere he ‘breathes.’ His mind is structured, and necessarily so, under the influence of this ever-present social environment, and he cannot think in any other way."
Consequently, the "White Supremacist Master Narrative" (frame) is operative in the culture and in the mind and behavior of everyone under its trance. As long as either is reacting to the other on the basis of skin color which both believes carries some moral meaning, Blacks and Whites will continually oppose each other on the basis of race. It will remain so to the extent that they are under the spell cast by the Racist Culture.
