"You want to know which race is the most violent? The human race, dumbasses. Human beings, of any and all 'races' are violent, irrational, aggressive animals. You might as well bicker over whose shit stinks the most"
What you're saying is right in the abstract, but wrong in context
Telling someone to brush their teeth everyday is right in the abstract but to tell that someone who has had their teeth smashed out in a car accident, in that context, that advice is awful.
I live in a global system of white supremacy and in a world of anti Blackness. So unlike you I can't afford to be all "Were all human beings. Let's all hold hands"
NO.
I live in a world were I'm a black man, first and a human being second or last. I didn’t ask to be seen this way, but that’s the way it is
In a perfect world skin color wouldn’t matter and yes we would all be human beings. But race is like is money.
A $100 has no intrinsic value and meaning. It only has value and meaning bcoz everyone agrees that it value and meaning n acts accordingly.
Race is the same thing.
This is reality. Skin color matters. This society values white skin like it values money and material things.
At the same time the same society devalues dark skin for no logical reason. Yet, they devalue it so much, they even try to turn it into a legitimate science.
Its not the differences that cause racism nor does it lie in noticing or not noticing them it is how we deal with those differences that matters.
