To double down on Nick Cannon’s point:
Historically, d'whites have been a plague 2 the world everywhere via Colonialism & Slavery.
That don'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'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'll hear u out b4 they hear us out.
fuck how u feel, that's a fact. anybody crying reverse racism doesn't understand racism.
ultimately, if u white & inherently afraid of black ppl, u'll be triggered whenever whiteness is critiqued. fear motivates racism. Otherwise, u'd be like "damn, we fucked up, let's change"

To further this: Not ONE of my white friends have ever stepped out of allyship/said anything remotely nuts. If anything, they've repeatedly asked how they can help OR used their platform, pockets, bodies & privilege to ASSIST.
I haven'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're a part of. They'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'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's fucking dicey territory & he not qualified. It's been used by racists to terrorize the globe & justify horrors. Most infamously, the Nazi'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's the very same tactic.
