The problem never was slavery it was the ideology behind what allowed slavery to flourish. But you won’t have read or studied about that because you spend most of your time trying to avoid guilt that supposedly shouldn’t exist by writing rebuttals to points no one ever made.

The ideology is white supremacy and it wasn’t abolished in 1865, 1888 or even yesterday. White supremacy and the invention of race is still with us as I type this sentence. Defining race by skin color and hair texture is an invention from 15th century Europe, it was never real. It is an excuse to separate oneself from the rest of the human race. Thus allowing for human atrocities to occur based on this incorrect dehumanizing premise.

The features that people have mistaken for a separate race are just varying levels of albinism.

Most of these albinos in the first 5 photos were born in South India but the blonde from the pink back ground is an Ethiopian albino. The 3 blondes with the white background with their melanin breaking up are Dravidian albinos from South India. The redhead with freckles is a girl from Ireland and the last photo is a black man with a skin condition called vitiligo. There are many ways for a black or brown person to lose their melanin to reveal the white skin underneath the top protective layer of their melanin.

A separate race is a fairytale of epic proportions. It was an invention of the psyche to protect it from recognizing the horrors of committing genocide against your own race.

When white people stop enforcing the myth of race (white supremacy and racism) on the rest of the world then your article won’t ring so hollow. Writing an article like this as if something has passed when the problem is still with us is tripe.
