Racism is Utterly, Totally Spiritually Useless

But it’s here for a reason. You need to see it!

I used to be enraged whenever a white person would say racism has been around ‘for ages,’ and that we can never get rid of it.

I’m out here trying to heal from my trauma — and here they are, telling me about how the Mongol Empire hated everybody and how actually white people were one of the first to be enslaved.

These facts never helped, given the overwhelming amount of racism in the world today is a direct consequence of European colonialism on the rest of the world.

Whether the economic de-throning of China as the world’s foremost economy at the hands of drug-dealing British aristocracy, or Europe’s collaborative devastation of the whole African continent — the inequality (and hence disdain) we see today is a result of the scheming of yesterday.

Being told that humans had always been judgmental and vindictive was not the message I needed; nor is it one that I believe in today.

But I have come to realize that as long as geopolitical power imbalances exist, racism will always find a way to rear its head.
