This quote from W.E.B. Dubois’ Black Reconstruction’ speaks to everything wrong with modern society.

[I Really Mean It]

When whitelaborers were convinced that the degradation of Negro labor was more fundamental than the uplift of white labor, the end was in sight.

this book is a powerful testament to the resilience of white supremacy, a beautifully written account of what would be a brief glimpse at the now utopian promise of a world in which black men and women were treated as equals and as citizens.

written almost a century ago, it remains as relevant now as it did the year in which he published it.

the diminishment of black life is more important, more vital to to the spiritual and psychological well being of white society, than a world in which all humans can live in peace.

The reason the united states is the wealthiest and richest country in the world yet parents still have to go fund me for when their children have cancer because of no universal health care is because to racists that is an acceptable loss so as long as ''others'' ie blacks and any one non white dont have access to that ''luxury'' the same for public housing, welfare etc and lets be clear it is the republican party specifically, lets not play games

yup, anything that might benefit “society “ would also benefit black people, so they’d rather see themselves live in ruin than have that happen.

how do you even combat that kind of psychosis?
