  The Dynamics of Racial Hierarchy and "Buffer Groups" This incident brings into sharp focus the concept of a racial pyramid that is violently and rigidly enforced in the United States. The argument suggests that non-Black "people of color" and "minorities" are incentivized to position themselves as "buffer groups" against Black Americans.  By aligning themselves, often through overtly anti-Black actions, they signal their loyalty to the established racial power structure.
