Reverse Racism

Political, , ,

You ever notice how those who scream about #ReverseRacism almost never deny that harm has been done to the subjugated and opressed groups?

This reveals that the supposed ‘dominant group’ is terrified that their system of harmful behavior will be reciprocated upon them. This is an acknowledgement of the harm and a direct opposition to do anything about it!

Reverse racism is a farce, a fantasy that would require the subordinated groups to have the same system of oppressive institutions, practices, and beliefs because racism is systemic; it cannot by definition function on an individual and particular basis. Although, it is true that an individual may act in discriminatory ways, unless that behavior is part of a larger system of oppression and suppression, then it is not racism.

When a person screams “Reverse Racism!” what they are telling us is, “I am just fine with the way they are treating you, and yes, I know that it’s wrong.” It serves as a weak and fallacious ‘justification’ to maintain the status quo.

A New Release by Renaissance the Poet

 

After going through a very dark period in my life, this is what emerged from the internal struggle that nearly claimed my light:

A challenge to the established order of things. A refusal to remain reticent while injustice is spreading like a cancer throughout the planet. A recognition of the challenges that faces any person concerned with addressing social concerns, namely, the power structure set in place to maintain the status quo. The acknowledgement that the status quo would not need to be challenged if, neither the planet, nor the people who inhabit it were not dealing with injustices. And a declaration that these injustices will not persist unchallenged.
