white people are racist by default (in the united states as well as other countries). are you white? congrats, you’re racist, and here’s the explanation:
you grew up in a racist society -> you were socialized to be racist thanks to racism being a dominant ideology -> you benefit from racism -> you’re racist no matter how much u think you’re not.
unlearning it is going to be a constant battle and u will never unlearn it fully. accept this. it is ingrained in you as a result of your upbringing and the media you’ve consumed. the sooner you come to terms with your own racism, the sooner u can better yourself. recognize the problem in yourself instead of setting yourself apart from those “other” white people.
While I fundamentally agree, I feel like this reasoning is what turned my brother into a huge racist so I’m not sure if it’s worth it
The OP post is a mind trap, equivalent to religious sin. The entire purpose is to burden you with a debt that can never be repaid, so they can rope you into their ideology and never let you leave.
Infinite debts are not meant to be repaid.
Still worth it reblogging for that reply by bizzarrodf
I do agree. I just wanted to be a bit more explicit about the infinite debt bizzarodf’s brother either decided to invoke on others or embrace as identity. I still see this stuff from Left/Libs in the US, just one level obscured. This kind of thinking is an exploitable vulnerability.
