Walker blamed Blacks’ own divine disobedience and political disunity for their oppression

Evidence

In Walker’s historical racism, Africa was the place where “learning [had] originated” in antiquity. It had become a land of “ignorance” since that time, however, because African people had been disobedient to their Maker. Cursed by God, Black people lacked political unity, and that lack of unity had enabled their “natural enemies” in the United States “to keep their feet on our throats.” — Ibram X. Kendi, Stamped from the Beginning, 440

Categorization

• XREF: Directly instantiates the assimilationist category: blaming the oppressed group’s own internal failings (disunity, ignorance) rather than the racist policy. Useful test case for the reader’s scheme.
