Capitalism is the root of racism, high key

Shout out to Military, Cert and Trademens gang.

I call it the college freshman syndrome

Nikkas take a couple of classes, read a couple of articles and think they have the whole world figured out. Like a college freshman

Africans were sold to feudalistic plantation owners in the name of making money

A civil war was fought in which up to a million lives were lost in the name of making money

Jim Crow laws were passed to imprison and heavily fine black people in the name of making money

Black people were systematically killed to get rid of competition in the name of making money


Police are called to ritzy stores to keep poor Black folks from visiting in the name of making money

The very fact America doesn't have universal healthcare, free or low cost college, good maternity/paternity systems, higher minimum wage, more vacation time in the name of making money


this BS economic system dd not just ruin the United States but it also hugely affected much of the world. Just look at the hacienda system in Latin America and colonialism in Africa and Asia and the extermination of idigenous peoples all over


If you are a POC and a full blown capitalist, in my opinion, you are a c00n

Wouldn't working and participating in the free market make you a capitalist of some type? You know black people died so we could participate in capitalism right? They saw how powerful this system was.

Then why were black people still treated badly post slavery?

Because poor Caucasians were turned into 'White people' specifically to safeguard rich Europeans' interests in America and 'control' all who were not protected by European laws.​

You know slaves existed before capitalism right? Destruction of villages, homes, family structures happened before capitalism. Human property of the state had been going on for thousands of years.

I don't understand why black folks want a supportive role to communism as if it's some Utopia lifestyle. Hell a white man created it and you still want it....

Because people are lazy af and salivate at the idea of the government supporting them

 

[UpAndComing]

Slavery is the root cause of the entire 'White race'......

So basically, side step juelzing to absolve white people of any wrong doing?

people = power

every empire was built by slave labor fundamentally

without financial backing to stand on racism would just be considered a form of mental illness

Not at all. The blame is placed squarely on them and the Europeans that created them.

The Irish weren't even considered 'White' until the 19th Century.​

Think exploitation didn't happen before capitalism brehs. All the people the Roman empire and other nations slaughtered for resources and land and enslaved before capitalism.

Slavery and exploitation are different from racism though.

The concept of “White” or “Black” is the root of racism

There are European countries that never enslaved black people who still have racism. Hitler was inspired by Jim Crow, not slavery.

He said it was the ROOT CAUSE. Do you understand? The concept of an inferior black race was introduced to justify these cac Christians practicing chattel slavery. It's an ideology that was so deep and so successful that even with the eradication of the reason it was developed in the first place that it still remains in all aspects of society.

Its not the root but its the main driving force. Its not just about racism either, its classism period. This pandemic is the perfect case for Capitalism’s flaws. It drives the ceaseless need for profit, even at the cost of people’s lives.

Politicians are literally saying “go die for the economy”. It took less than 6 months of
shutdowns before the elite in this country said they care more about their money than your lives. With capitalism there must always be a loser.

Capitalism isn't the driving force of racism today, and it hasn't been in a long time. Racism is incoherent with capitalist ideals in our world.

This is a retarded ass take.

I guess race-based slavery pre-capitalism wasn't racist...
