Honey, if you're not aware, you must be a white American (I am too). If you want to see change, the first step is to educate yourself. I recommend the book Sundown Towns by James Loewen. But if you really want to understand systemic racism and what it means to be a black American, you have to read James Baldwin.
Is it racism or more accurately based upon cultural prejudice??? So called "racism" everywhere including the U.S. has never been about skin color; it's about cultural differences, for example: AA Blacks and African immigrants, Israel and Palestinians, Sunni and Shia, Northern Ireland, India and Pakistan, Han Chinese and Uyghurs Hutu and Tutsi, Nigerian Boko Haram and Christian and moderate Muslims, The conflicts in the Balkans, Rwanda, Chechnya, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and Darfur. Skin color is only relevant when it reflects differences in culture. In the U.S. we have a college educated melting pot with less educated segments separated by cultures that do share the same skin color.
Horrifying.
How do we change this?
Thank you for making us aware!
