African people are expressing similar concerns in Europe as in other parts of the world, showing that racism is systemic globally. It’s not just a few white people ignorant of blacks and immigrants. It’s a systemic fabrication that a Caucasian-dominated society has deeply entrenched in the world’s culture. Not to overlook the racism in North and South Africa, xenophobia and racism are in just about any country outside of Africa. This system is where their stereotypes come from, not necessarily the behavior of blacks and immigrants.
The racism issue is that we only look at it from an African American perspective. It’s the classification they’ve given us regardless of who we are. And this is why every time black people do something to undo that classification, a racist reignites the flames. They constantly reinforce their understanding of their low rating for blacks and immigrants. So if a black person becomes too influential or overly accomplished, they undo his or her accomplishments. To remind their followers that they are still under the racial classification. When there are black people from other communities around who live in the same situation.
Not Fitting In
Accordingly, if Barack Obama becomes president, the racist faction responsible for keeping black people marginalized commands their foot soldiers, guards, or police as we know them today to murder innocent black people randomly. Then they mascarade the killing on television and social media so the world can see that when that black victim receives no justice, it shows that their value did not increase when Obama became president. Obama is the president, but you are still a nigga, nigga.
This is a conversation we, as black people, need to have. First, African Americans are not the only black people outside of Africa. There are Afro-Europeans and Afro-Latinas, which break down into many categories. And in every country, from Japan to China, throughout Europe to Australia, and the United States to the Middle East, there are systemic roadblocks in place whenever a black person or an immigrant does not fit the prescribed classification of that race to reduce that person to nothing. For example, 90% of Europe exploited black people as enslaved people.
The black guy in the Netherlands and the one in Canada are from the same place as the black people from Asia or Latin America. Like the brother was saying, the slave traders dropped our ancestors off at different locations because they were exploiting us wherever they saw fit. That does not make us different it just means we come from various plantations.*
