asylum: Let's get a few things straight about racism, white people and their so called "good nature" when it comes to people of...

sourcedumal:

White people, on the whole, kill me with this notion that the system of whiteness is anything other than destructive and harmful to people of color.

Now, I’m going to talk specifically about American Black folks here, because that’s the history I know, it’s what I live, and because I don’t want to speak on other cultures that ain’t mine.

Now we’re gonna go back to near slavery times. Yes, I know, I can hear y’all now:

Slavery was SOOOO LONG AGO!!!! Get over it!!! We’ve done better!!!!

But have we really?????

Consider the fact that the most popular last names for black people are of white surnames: Jackson, Jefferson, Washington, Cooper, Banks, etc. All slave master surnames, y’all.

If we really cared about the black folks and the welfare of them, why were white southerners IMMEDIATELY STRIPPED OF ALL SLAVE WORKED LANDS? Why weren’t they given to the slaves as reparations?

Why weren’t white southerners IMMEDIATELY STRIPPED of their right to vote in the Union? Last I checked, the existence of the Confederate States was TREASON AGAINST THE UNION.

Why was the Confederate flag not made a symbol of treason and thus BANNED from ever being reproduced under threat of jailtime?

Why were there NO provisions made to aid Black people?

Why was sharecropping allowed to exist in a manner that essentially reenslaved Black people?

Why were the Black Codes allowed to pass? The 13th and 14th Amendments should have superceded those and made them immediately UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Why were every single petition to get anti-lynching laws to pass in Congress DENIED?

Why were the records of black women being raped on a regular by white southerners erased from the books?

Why was it that multiple presidents essentially IGNORED the violence against black people for simply LIVING?

Why were the Jim Crow laws allowed to exist?

Why were many Black leaders framed and killed for telling the truth about the white supremacy, with little to no recourse from the majority of white people?

Why was it that it took being nearly internationally HUMILIATED by the Soviet Union for them to give us our Civil Rights Act on paper? Why weren’t our Civil Rights guaranteed the moment we got emancipated?

Why is it that black people were allowed to be guinea pigs for science with little to no recognition of the horrors they went through?

Why were government agencies created to allow the butchering of black women’s bodies? Why were these women deemed “unfit” for motherhood?

Why are violent and denigrating stereotypes against black people still allowed to exist in the media today?

Why are disparities in health care, wealth and education allowed to exist???

If the system of whiteness wasn’t destructive, then why were all of the above allowed to happen under its watch????

I’ll wait on the answer.
