The under-engaged conversation about racism in the United States

Please help liberate those whites who remain imprisoned in their minds, shackled by the terrifying fear of white race-extinction that undergirds 1800s theories of white supremacy and Social Darwinism, theories that led to WWI and WWII and Hitler’s Holodomor plan to exterminate Slavic peoples. Please remind them of the oppression their ancestors may have faced in Europe where being poor was considered a crime punishable by workhouse sentences and exile to North America and Australia. Please remind them that the British military whipped white sailors and soldiers with 500 and 1000 lashes of the whip. Remind them of social class oppressions against the poor whites across Europe. Help them to be brave enough to resolve their intra-ethnic/race trauma so that they can stop misdirecting it out of cowardice against people of color. Herein is the under-engaged conversation about race in the United States. Help. Talk. Bring peace.
