    The answer is “white racism” and/or “global white hegemony.” Is what European’s are most attached to.

        Bringing up the global issue of anti-black white hegemonic racism is edgy? That’s a strange way to feel about a pervasive and damaging thing. Are you a white person? White people often hold a vested interest in maintaining the hierarchy of the white racist project, and often seek to minimize the severity of it or outright deny the existence of it despite the overwhelming evidence that white Europeans uphold racism, a thing they also invented.

          You realize the data includes the opinion of non-whites too right?

          And Europeans invented racism? Lol, that vile exists everywhere, and long before there was a European civilization.

            Racism was invented by Gomes Eanes De Zurara of Portugal to justify the brutal actions of Prince Henry of Portugal in his book _the chronicling of the Discovery and Conquering of Guinea _ the point of it was to create sweeping justification for the subjugation of people and created a hierarchy putting white people at the top. It’s possibly the only true European invention. Race is uniquely European and a problem we all have to face.

            White people cannot experience racism. They can only maintain or stand against it. The struggle of whites at the hands of a white aggressor is a struggle within whiteness that does not constitute the system of race.

                It provably is not racism. Racism is a hierarchical system, or caste based system that puts phenotypically white people at the top and all others below them. White people may struggle due to the circumstances of the racist project but they do not and cannot by definition experience racism.

                  You’re confusing things there, buddy. You say racism but you describe white supremacy.

                  white supremacy, beliefs and ideas purporting natural superiority of the lighter-skinned, or “white,” human races over other racial groups. (www.britannica.com/topic/white-supremacy)

                  Saying white people are not able to experience racism is racism, also saying all white people inherently desire white supremacy is racism:

                  racism, the belief that humans may be divided into separate and exclusive biological entities called “races”; that there is a causal link between inherited physical traits and traits of personality, intellect, morality, and other cultural and behavioral features; and that some races are innately superior to others. (www.britannica.com/topic/racism)

                    You fundamentally do not understand racism if that’s what you think. Again. White people cannot experience racism. Your struggles within whiteness do not equate to the systemic hurdles that are present for all non-white people in the entire world. Racism cannot exist without the system that upholds the ignorant values of racists. White people DO uphold racism See: all of “white” history. The Dutch Congo, the US and USC, South Africa, etc etc etc.
