i posted this a couple months ago and came across this very illuminating video today that adds to my point about white people’s (everywhere of creeds bc none of you are exempt) antiracism largely being performative.

bc they continue to knowingly destroy/hide/sell invaluable historic documents that could help Black ppl across the diaspora not only trace their lineage, but also point directly to the white & nonblack families that owe our families reparations.

this is really why no white person on this planet wants to really do that work, and give us free access to these resources that are owed to us bc doing so would make them be face to face with the legacies that their ancestors who participated in this system, distantly and recently, left behind for Black lineages who managed to survive here, despite everything to this day, to inherit.

Such documentation would also allow Black Americans & other Black people to actually build concrete timelines of the crimes (such as lynchings, land theft, mob harassment, threats, kidnapping, rape, etc.) that white families & individuals have been able to directly profit from, POST-chattel slavery, in the modern era. Much of the violence done against us wasn’t legally considered a crime or purposely overlooked by law enforcement and the government; & not much has changed.

To be able to trace exactly how your white and nonblack families in the U.S. were able to maintain, lose, &/or gain economic stability pre- & post-Depression era? oh you girls aren’t that brave.

Due consequence is a white person’s greatest fear.
