1. El Legado del Colonialismo y su Relación con la Raza.
El colonialismo es frecuentemente señalado como la raíz de muchas formas de prejuicio y desigualdad, con un impacto duradero en las identidades y culturas de las personas.
- Colonialism is genuinely the root cause for most forms of prejudice. It's actually crazy.
- Colonialism & racism go hand in hand. The west has never shaken that mentality off, especially english speaking countries.
- Colonialism did a number on a lot of us. We’ve been trained to believe foolishly that proximity to whiteness will protect us.
2. La Supremacía Blanca como Justificación del Colonialismo.
La supremacía blanca se presenta como una ideología que impulsó el colonialismo europeo, justificando la apropiación de tierras, la explotación y el genocidio.
- White supremacy fueled european colonialism, justifying land theft, exploitation, and genocide. It framed domination as 'civilization' while stripping indigenous and african peoples of rights and resources. The impact still lingers today. History demands truth.
- Anyone claiming to be any kind of supremacy has serious problems with self-esteem. White supremacy is attempted justification for colonialism and slavery.
- Colonialism is racism is supremacist ideology. All empires require a philosophy of entitlement via racial/ethnic supremacy to allow one group of people to dehumanize another, subjugate them, and steal their land and their bodies. From the first empires to the current americanism/zionism/nazism.
3. La "Blancura" como Construcción Social y Sistema de Poder.
La "blancura" se examina no solo como un color de piel, sino como un sistema de poder y privilegio construido a través del colonialismo, que impacta la identidad y la cultura.
- An oft-overlooked facet of whiteness (as a system) is the murder of any idea that you came from somewhere, that you have a history or a homeland or loyalty to anything that is not colonialism or whiteness. What a sick, disgusting "bargain" to make.
- Whiteness is not the only framework for this binding hatred, but it is the most defined and clear one to come out of european colonialism. And every oppression in societies that bear that history are connected around that structure.
- Let’s be real, white culture has no culture. Not after colonialism. Whiteness and race as a whole is a social construct. What you do have, is just culture. What you have is a legacy of erasure, theft, and domination that replaced ancestral memory with manufactured supremacy.
4. Colonialismo y la Pérdida de Identidad Cultural.
Se destaca cómo el colonialismo ha resultado en la pérdida de conocimiento ancestral y la alteración de la identidad personal.
- One thing i hate about colonialism is the way it has completely changed me as a person. White supremacy has shaped my life, of course, but unlearning internalized racism is a relief and it's easy once you find the path. You can't unlearn being severed from ancestral knowledge.
- Colonialism didn’t just strip land, it stripped identity. And the greatest theft was convincing people who identify as white that theft itself was their entire identity. Before the system of colonial white supremacy demanded assimilation into empire, people we consider to be white today had.
- Wow well said: “let’s be real, white culture has no culture. Not after colonialism. Whiteness and race as a whole is a social construct. What you do have, is just culture. What you have is a legacy of erasure, theft, and domination that replaced ancestral memory with manufactured supremacy. “.
5. La Persistencia del Colonialismo en el Siglo XXI.
El colonialismo no es solo un evento histórico, sino un sistema que continúa manifestándose en el presente, impulsando el militarismo y las guerras.
- White colonialism is still happening in the 21st century! it is what drives all militarism and wars now.
- I seek to understand human behavior, not excuse it. That being said, white colonialism is responsible for so much of human behavior and we refuse to acknowledge or address it.
- It’s simply deeply embedded racism that stems from centuries of empire and colonialism; informed by the need to demean and infantilise or “civilise” other populations to justify their dehumanisation and robbery of their labour and natural resources enabled only by military technological advantage.
6. La Necesidad de Descolonización y Reconocimiento de la Historia.
Existe un llamado a reconocer y abordar el daño causado por el colonialismo, así como a desmantelar las estructuras que perpetúan la supremacía blanca.
- We need to decolonize to have a chance toward equity. And you're right, white people need to understand so we can stop the fire and heal those we've burned.
- White people have a responsibility to make sure an honest reckoning of colonialism is taken in the history books.
- Commit to fighting colonialism and supporting indigenous people or you're just helping reinforce racial hierarchies.
7. La Complicidad en el Colonialismo Más Allá de la Raza Blanca.
Se reconoce que la participación en el colonialismo y la perpetuación de la supremacía blanca no se limitan a personas de raza blanca, sino que pueden ser adoptadas por individuos de diversos orígenes.
- I joke about white ppl doing this a lot but clock your poc friends who go off this deep end too. You don't have to be white to participate in colonialism nor fascism; it's about furthering white supremacy a settler colonial state at the end of the day and enough self-hatred will convince you of it.
- Colonialism is not just about race, but about class. Blacks can become oppressors and exploiters just as whites have. -as.
- I think what many misunderstand about colonialism is that it's not just a mark for historical violence or an essential aspect of "whiteness" id argue it's also an ongoing, always-becoming mindset and way of living that anyone of any degree of marginalisation can embody 1/.
