The invention of Whiteness

I think

This “white” stuff gets up my nose,
as far as I can see “white” was a term invented not so long ago to justify exploiting people.
“white” is not a skin colour
“white” is definitely not a “race”
“white” is basically a gang of robbers and membership of this gang is not something to be proud of.

I don’t and won’t belong to that gang

I’m not colourblind, I know that these old and ugly categories have an immense impact on people’s lives.

In my opinion, the direction to go is out of it.

Read the article, it’s worth it


“Before the 17th century, people did not think of themselves as belonging to something called the white race. But once the idea was invented, it quickly began to reshape the modern world”
