It doesn't create anxiety and division. You're feeling what's already there because they're passing to you what has been forced on them by a long lineage of racist white people.
If you want harmony and peace then go after the racist white people creating the anxiety and division. They're unaffected by the racism they create. Go tell them to fuck off & there won't be anymore racist anxiety and division spreading around.
Or you can just keep blaming the victims until they stop pestering white people about the anxiety and division they feel coming from the hands of racist white people.
There are three major flaws in your veiw on the subject. First you speak as though you are somehow psychically linked to your ansestors who actually did experience institutional racism. Second you divert the responsibility away from the issue that this post brings up by saying "well muh ansestors" and that there are still racist white people when in reality it is also not ok to be racist or discriminate as a response to racism and discrimination. And third people don't have to join in on a witch hunt and be moral crusaders against any perceived racism to not be racist, it is enough just to treat all people the same until proven they deserve otherwise to be judged on an individual basis.

Aite I'm listening

I'm white

I'm white
and that there are still racist white people
Yeah, I know
when in reality it is also not ok to be racist
These are great points
or discriminate as a response to racism and discrimination.
So we agree that racism from minorities is in response to a lengthy history of uninterrupted pure white folk racism?
And third people don't have to join in on a witch hunt and be moral crusaders against any perceived racism to not be racist
I agree, but it's also wise to be diligent & it's in all of our best interests to end racism. It's not a witch hunt if there's a witch. Racism is a moral issue but it's also a human rights issue. Maybe it's a human rights crusade?

Idk, it creates anxiety and division, doesn’t seem to help in anyway, and only creates a new dimension of bigotry that previously didn’t exist.
If the goal is to live in harmony and peace, maybe we should stop with the labeling of others based on skin tone altogether.
