Jung b/w Racism

Jung himself was quite the mystic.
I read Man and His Symbols and extracted bits of it, I think, as Jefferson did with the New Testament and the sayings of Jesus. I was just constantly wishing, "Could you PLEASE just list the Archetypes for me, please?" Maybe that was part of his mysticism, that you had to get to his inner circle before the Archetypes were revealed. And maybe it was revealed that he thought Archetypes were a gift from the Creator, and not a byproduct of the architecture of the human brain (which is how *I* see it).
And there's nothing mystical about racism, etc.
Oh yes there is: Many people think that blacks/browns are "lower on the evolutionary ladder" and are "closer" to chimps/baboons, and hence, like the chimps have no soul. "No blacks in Heaven and God doesn't care one way or the other."
And have you seen a KKK rally or a re-creation? TOTALLY mystical with the symbols and the chanting and the frenzy.
