Fear of the Domination of a Superior Color History, with all its huge volumes, is nothing but one page. If one race/color, gets in power, and they start eliminating the races to which they don’t approve of can lead to a higher chance of other races/colors getting eliminated as well.

He was beaten by a police radio, punched, kicked, beaten up, sodomized pretty badly. Crucially, when they got to the station, they took him to the bathroom and sodomized him with a wooden stick.
