racial solidarity
Group identity bond
Racial solidarity is unity and mutual support among people of the same race, especially in response to discrimination or shared challenges.
The term appears most often in discussions of minority communities organizing for collective advancement: Black racial solidarity was essential to the civil rights movement.
It can carry positive connotations of community strength or negative ones suggesting exclusionary tribalism, depending on context and speaker.
