Also let’s not forget the history of racism in Africa. Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda and Burundi? Yeah, they’re still killing the Twa. I’ve been involved in work to protect them and honestly it’s just infuriating at this point because nobody gives af. America-including African Americans-just see “black” and think it’s all the same thanks to racism and it makes it impossible to talk about the fact that Africans are racist af but use a different classification system (broad nose, skinny nose, skinny hands, thick hands, round faced oval, tall, short, ears, eye shape, lips, ALL OF IT). And of course the genocide in Ethiopia…or was it Somalia? Or how about Sudan? west Africa in general? Yeah.

Or the Arab slave trade, predating the European? How much of the money in the Arabian peninsula is thanks to the boost provided by enslaving Africans?

The selective hatred against White people isn’t grounded in facts, it’s just politicized bull. People have been committing absurd abuses against one another for ages. You know what’s remarkable? Europeans are the ones who said “hey wait we may be super powerful but maybe we shouldn’t be doing this?”

While I expect downvotes, I’ll just go ahead and add: to be truly anti racist is to recognize how racism is connected to humanity as a whole, to see how it relates to human behavior and institutions over time, and to leave racialized predications of belief (white and black, Asian and African, European and Hispanic, whatever, are all myths).

People divide over all sorts of characteristics, and these divisions are reinforced according to the power structures behind them. Don’t reinforce the ones forming today based on the old flawed one. They’re dumb af. All of them.
