A visual example of antiblackness- really of white European cultural dominance and racism as a whole- applied and hidden in plain sight:
The entirety of the blue section is all of the International section on Europe (interestingly it's got Turkey at the end.)
That yellow box? ALL of Africa.
Just size comparison and context, that orange section is Japan. One singular country vs an entire continent. Every time we say "African" versus having specific European countries and cultures to reference... That's not coincidental!
The damn sink's knocking at the door, gone head and let that in ๐
I genuinely just don't get why white people can't just silently boost a post about racism. Like I really just don't think you need to weigh in at all. I really don't need to hear from you on this subject I just need you to boost and internalize it
You don't need to weigh in on everything. Especially if you have surface level knowledge of the topic at best. You don't need to emphasize how much you HAAATE when other white people do racist stuff, you are just drowning out the voices of racialized people for your own selfish need to establish yourself as a "good one" (you're still not). Literally the best thing you can do it just boost it silently and listen to the racialized voices discussing the subject. This is not saying you cannot talk about racism on your own, but you need to be prioritizing racialized people willing to speak up on the subject. Stop drowning us out.
