Not exactly true.

Racism is not human nature. There's no single shred of historical evidence from ancient archives, from the annals of the Roman Empire and the philosophical texts of Ancient Greece to the chronicles of the Mali Empire and the dynasties of China, that suggests that racism ever existed in the past.

The concept of racism was meticulously cooked up by European elites in the 15th and 16th centuries.
This is because they had a massive PR problem.
They wanted to launch the most lucrative, brutal, continent-looting enterprise in human history, which is the Transatlantic Slave Trade, but they needed a way to justify it to themselves and keep their "pious" Christian consciences clean.

You can't just kidnap millions of human beings, pack them like sardines into the hulls of ships, and work them to death without looking like a complete monster.
But if you commission pseudo-scientists and religious charlatans to declare that these specific people from this specific continent are somehow less than humans then, viola, problem solved.

Enslaving them is no longer a "sin" but instead it’s a "civilizing mission."

This is not to say that the European elites did not also try enslave their own people. They did and committed similar atrocities but the system proved unstainable due to diseases and local resistances.
Working at tobacco farms and cotton plantations required intensive human labor and since it was too expensive to use their own people, they turned their gaze on Africans.

After their successful capture of the African slaves, laws were written to codify this new hierarchy, legally separating poor Europeans from enslaved Africans to prevent them from uniting against the ruling class.

Over centuries, this economic justification metastasized into the deeply entrenched racial prejudices that has plague the modern world.

But we must recognise that, there is not one single ancient text, tablet, or scroll featuring a racial slur.
The Ancient Romans did not give a flying fuck about your complexion; they had African emperors and generals.
The Greeks called outsiders "barbarians" simply because they could not speak Greek.
An African would be considered "human" or "civilised" by the Greeks while a white German would be considered a "barbarian" all depends on who was able to speak the language and assimilate their culture.

If you learned the language and drank the wine, you were in the club.

A Message for Africans Who Admire Life in the West

Romanian content creator Paul Niculita urges Africans not to romanticize life in the West, saying that the image of comfort, wealth, and order often projected abroad hides a deeper system of control.

According to him, material comfort in Europe does not necessarily reflect freedom or well-being, but instead, functions as a distraction from debt, overconsumption, social alienation, and what he described as a suffocating system designed to keep people compliant.

@IllimitableMan_ if the neighborhood is very quiet, RUN! It is a hollow, depressing vacuum.

Life is not meant to be lived in such a soulless place devoid of what makes life beautiful and vibrant

I’m scared to visit China.

Not because I think I won’t like it. It’s because I’m scared I might never want to leave 😩

@Eng_china5 these past couple of years have turned me into a complete and total sinophile. China, please adopt me.

NEW VIDEO DEBUNKING THE CIA'S PROPAGANDA ABOUT CHINA'S UYGHURS

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

This really illustrates - once more - how catastrophically Western media still misreads China.

Jiang Xueqin's narratives are **completely unaligned** with those of the Chinese government. So much so that the guy was literally detained and deported from China in 2002 after being accused of spying on behalf of the West (https://t.co/6OUAEIzxyq, although he later came back).

So much for being "China's useful idiot"...

And, if you read the CNN article linked above, which he wrote, he describes China's media as "enabling tyranny and corruption" and advocates for "America’s free media" which he says "is the source of American power and progress."

Again - never seen a "China useful idiot" write something like that...

The truth is that Jiang is a creature of U.S. media, top to bottom. He is a Canadian citizen who is a Yale English Literature graduate. He broadcasts exclusively in English, on YouTube, to an English-speaking Western audience. No meaningful media presence in China that I'm aware of. And his actual theories would sound utterly bewildering to most Chinese people, let alone Communist or Marxist ones.

He speaks about topics like the Illuminati secretly running the world from Jerusalem, the Sabbatean-Frankists controlling Israel, the Freemasons controlling the American national security state, etc.

Try pitching that intellectual universe in Beijing, let's see where that gets you 😅

Pretty much everything he's saying is recycled Anglo-American esoteric conspiracy theories with zero resonance whatsoever in Chinese intellectual life or the Marxist-materialist tradition.

Jiang is, by every objective measure, a Western cultural product. It's frankly frightening that people can look at this man and conclude "oh, this is a Chinese narrative" - it betrays not only a profound ignorance of China, but also a near-total illiteracy about the West's own intellectual traditions.

These are the West's stories. Not China's.

@PublicAdvocacy @EmJayJay88 @rahsh33m I agree. The U.S. is a horrible place for women and girls.

Luckily, Chinese immigrants have the lowest incarceration rates for CSA compared to Americans. That's 0.1% Chinese sitting in U.S. prisons for this crime. Statistically speaking, these girls were not in danger.

@Jingjing_Li I love this for China! No more deserving a country to be honest (assuming everybody there is okay with the influx of tourists)🤗

[Amock_ @Amockx2022]

THIS IS VERY BRUTAL FROM 🇨🇳 CHINA

🇺🇸 Trump –– "China has agreed to not supply weapons to Iran. I have talked to them"

🇨🇳 China FM –– 🔥 "We want to put an end to the rumors circulating that claim China has agreed with the United States not to supply weapons to Iran

Let us make it clear that no such communication has taken place. China has neither confirmed nor denied supplying weapons to Iran

Our security agreements and defense cooperation are sovereign matters that belong to China alone. No foreign country has the right to interfere in China's internal affairs"

Trump getting humiliated every hour 😭

@boogeypuff @MazedBlue @rahsh33m this is propaganda. They polled 1,440 adolescents in six cities in China (out of a pop of 300,000,000 children) to get these numbers. No account for differences in urban vs rural, contact vs. no-contact abuse, criminally prosecutable offenses vs. awkward or inappropriate behavior

[Initials AN @Sageness13]

@MazedBlue @rahsh33m Please try to get out of your Americanized thinking for one minute and actually research problems from the sources within the culture you are critiquing. China has extremely low incidences of CSA compared to the west. This is a fact.

[Initials AN @Sageness13]

@MazedBlue @rahsh33m Since you have the answers, what's the sample size of this 13 year old study? China has a pop of 300M children, how many were polled? No-contact abuse (talking, showing pics) was included in these numbers. What % is physical abuse? Who funds ICMEC? What are the current stats?
