Who are these White Turks

When the topic is about integration, usually the harmony of an extrinsic social element with the "intrinsic" one or the "host" is implied. In my previous article, I tried to problematize the question of "the integration of white Turks with the public". For that reason, I shared with you some of my observations. The lynch campaign conducted against me and my friends is nothing new and in fact we don"t care much about it. Actually this lynch campaign is only a symptom of a major problem and I know that this occurs within many families of Turkey. One of my readers told me how his 84 year-old mother, who keeps watching Ulusal TV (a nationalist Turkish TV channel) went crazy on him. He complained how he is mistreated in his own family and called "Uncle Haji", the old religious man.

I find the term "white Turks" is quite convenient, however, its content must be ameliorated. When we say white Turk we don"t only mean those who became rich off the properties of non-Muslims and captured the apex of the state bureaucracy and the influential pro-CUP (Committee of Union and Progress) elite. Therefore, the issue is not only about a few hundreds of families. If it were so, relatively speaking, the problem would be solved much easier. In this sense, it is quite befitting and a mature act for Erdogan to visit the opening of a Koç family-run factory. We don"t need otherization or be otherized by others. We need to solve the problem and embrace each other.

The "white" considers himself supreme and defines the "black" or the black"s right for egalitarianism crystallizes the "white". Turkey was founded as a semi colonial country and governed with a divide-and-rule-tactic. The means of the state (the small plunders extorted from the others and then the state) through violence or incentive preventions is used for social engineering in order to extract a "white" group from the "black" community. This is a colonial strategy and it affected the whole colonial geography of the world destructively culminating in a sociological contrast.

We, the ones from Turkey, are much more fortunate. We are not a full, but a semi colony. As we are a neighboring country with Europe and coming from an empire legacy, we go through a gradual transition. Country"s religious people and Kurds are acting with in good faith and constructively.

However, this chance is not enough to stop the contrast splitting the society. We are witnessing a kind of people who don"t like their original society and identity and turning into a furious sociology, which is self-hated. Erdogan has become the object of hatred because it partly implies the collapse of engineering. Erdogan has become a lightning rod, which proved what has been told for the 80 years was a big lie. In such sociology, Erdogan and conservatives are quite successful so it"s quite normal that the stronger Turkey gets, the more the pathology increases.

These people are not simply consisting of several holding or their well-paid employees. They are our neighbors, sometimes our mothers, colleagues, sometimes a teacher, a tradesman, a grocery, an academic or a worker. These people would benefit from Turkey"s progress. However, genetically modified, these people have been estranged to themselves to an extent that the developments in the last 12 years led them to a serious identity crisis. They feel like they lost their center of gravity, their connections to life and their goals.

If the problem simply stemmed from depression of these people, it would be easily solved. A severe war of sovereignty accompanies this contrast. While the "blacks" are obtaining their rights, they are also becoming an influential power in the world. This war of sovereignty needs to be fitted into a kind of socialization. At this point, with the derailed Gülen community and the politics in their hands is striving to create leverage from the pathology of injured coalition who hold the parallel bureaucracy and media forces.

The device the war of sovereignty has created, by continuing to engineer this wounded sociology, is already playing the role of Dr. Frankenstein. Benefiting all the privileges of the 80-year-old history, takes every corner of this multifarious sociology under control. There are leftists, minority, environmentalists, LGBT, Human Relief Foundations, NGOs, Kurds, Alevis, nationalists, conservatives, communities, business world etc. In every part of the society, there are those who are struggling to take things under control through the dormant cells.

They are quite talented in doing so. The closed society facilitates their job. Take Yilmaz Özdil for instance, he has a million tiger power because his readers live in a closed society who nurtures on no one else other than him. The strategy in this regard will not change until an ultimate defeat or the split of the coalition.

At this point just as the PM Erdogan and the implementations of the government rises, according to this pathology, the negligence of psychology increases because our word does not access to such occupied neighborhoods. However, Erdogan and the government have the power to execute this. However, no matter what he does, Erdogan"s words will be distorted with a tremendous effort of disinformation.

Yet this does not remove the benefits of being more careful. When addressing the public, an internal terminology should not be used. Erdogan is also responsible from the health of this neighborhood and their PM, too. The superstructure of the conscious immorality must be distinguished from the despair of the infrastructure. I was not simply making a compliment when I stated, "we must work with psychiatrists and social psychologists".

I am repeating; the biggest issue of Turkey is not Kurds or Alevis, rather the question of "White Turks". Moreover, unlike what is expected, the issue is not from outside but right at our home.
