To double down on Nick Cannon’s point:
Historically, d& #39;whites have been a plague 2 the world everywhere via Colonialism & Slavery.
That don& #39;t HAVE 2 be YOUR story if u want to change.
But 1st, acknowledge:
• ur ppl have historically colonized, pillaged & raped to tip power in yr favor
• u benefit from that today.

It& #39;s uncomfortable 4 hwite folks to hear & know. But significantly less uncomfortable than living as a PoC or Black person. Change the world by fighting against systemic racism in ur own families & social circles. Then, everywhere else. They& #39;ll hear u out b4 they hear us out.
fuck how u feel, that& #39;s a fact. anybody crying reverse racism doesn& #39;t understand racism.
ultimately, if u white & inherently afraid of black ppl, u& #39;ll be triggered whenever whiteness is critiqued. fear motivates racism. Otherwise, u& #39;d be like "damn, we fucked up, let& #39;s change"

To further this: Not ONE of my white friends have ever stepped out of allyship/said anything remotely nuts. If anything, they& #39;ve repeatedly asked how they can help OR used their platform, pockets, bodies & privilege to ASSIST.
I haven& #39;t had to mute/block any white folks I know.

My white friends all know whassup w/ the plethora of societal ills being caused by white ppl historically, they acknowledge it & refuse to let it be a future they& #39;re a part of. They& #39;re unafraid of the big black boogeyman rising for bloody revenge narrative. They show up.
Unfortunately, this has not been the case for many of my black friends. They& #39;ve had to overexplain, relive traumas, argue, block some of their white "friends", "fans" & sadly, family. IRL and Online.
I hate that Nick spoke about Eugenics because that& #39;s fucking dicey territory & he not qualified. It& #39;s been used by racists to terrorize the globe & justify horrors. Most infamously, the Nazi& #39;s did it.
However, many white folk LOVE to discredit the power of melanin.

Historically, Racism only exists w/in a power structure that systematically & institutionally rewards whiteness. The closer u are to being white, the more power u hold.
Nick Cannon talking about Eugenics is slippery because of how White ppl have put a system in place where they use their race to direct discrimination against black people/PoC based on the belief that their own race is superior. It& #39;s the very same tactic.
