When people were attaching a stigma to the concept of racism, it was basically hatred or a feeling of superiority over people over another race. Given that, you could say that reverse racism is believing that another racial group is superior or you like them more than your own race. But you're correct in the way the word is used, i.e. non-whites being racist against whites being called reverse-racism. Nope.

Race is not invented by white people. Before the creation of multiracial nation-states (This actually is something that was created by white people) people were organized into family groups called bands. In most parts of the world, bands consolidated into tribes of people. These tribes included people who were not closely related but they were physically different from other people groups. They also typically had a unique culture and language. The tribe might also possess a given territory and a public infrastructure such as a common well, meeting house, or fenced in area. Tribes can also sometimes be grouped together by the common physical features that they share, this is race. Through most of human history people have had concentric rings of loyalty and affection. People are closer to their family than they are to their tribe, their tribe than they are to their race, their race than they are to other races. Only the nation state creates situations where people will fight by the side of another race, against members of their own race, because their loyalty is to the nation not the tribe. Outside of the West, when does this happen?

Not only has slavery always been around - but it was around since day 1 not based on the color of one’s skin. In ancient times, people would enslave their own people, and their own color. It was interesting to hear that slavery was turned to sorting by race by the Europeans and if you know anything about the Bible and Christianity, this actually makes sense. With that being said, I don’t think anyone should be PROUD to be white. I don’t think anyone should be PROUD to be black. If racism on either side truly did not exist, we would not care at all about our color, sorting or whose life matters more or who should be more proud. We’d actually all just be equal. Imagine THAT?

@@danconcep Lets explore the concept of race historically. Ancient societies, such as the Greeks and Romans, recognized differences among peoples based on culture, language, and geography, but these differences were not categorized in the same way as modern racial categories. Instead, they focused more on the concept of "barbarian" versus "civilized." During the medieval period, religious explanations, particularly in Christian Europe, often framed differences among peoples in moral or theological terms, rather than in terms of inherent biological differences. For instance, the Curse of Ham in the Bible was later interpreted by some to justify the subjugation of certain peoples, though this interpretation emerged much later. The 17th and 18th centuries marked the emergence of the Enlightenment, a period that emphasized reason and scientific inquiry. Thinkers began to categorize the natural world, including humans, leading to the development of racial classifications. For example, Carl Linnaeus, in his taxonomy of living organisms, included human beings and divided them into different groups based on physical and behavioral characteristics. The development of pseudo-scientific theories in the 18th and 19th centuries sought to justify racial hierarchies. Figures like Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, who introduced the term "Caucasian" to describe white Europeans, contributed to the categorization of races based on skull measurements and other physical traits. These ideas were used to rationalize colonialism, slavery, and other forms of exploitation. As European powers expanded their empires, the concept of race became increasingly tied to the justification of colonial rule. The idea of the "white man's burden" suggested that it was the duty of Europeans to "civilize" other races, which were often deemed inferior.

@@YouLoseSir I guess the issue is you cannot read. I did not write that he said that europeans invented slavery. He literally said "europeans did this thing that people had not done before (invent), which is enslave in base of the physical appearance (race) and where you are from". The most studip statement I ever heard.

I find being ashamed or proud of being a race to be really lame. Find something to work on folks.

Try this: Selling drugs is bad, so we prosecute individual people selling drugs. We prosecute people supplying the drugs with heavier sentences because its by far a worse crime. Slavery is bad, so we look down on decendants of individual slave owners. We shame them for the sins of their ancesters. Those who supplied the slaves to the US are seen as innocent, as are their decendants. Although African countries got rich selling slaves, we do not shame the decendants of people who sold other people into slavery. If all of these statements are true (which they are) how can this be called fair ?

Substitute white for European and it becomes very different. You can say that you are a proud German American or an Italian American but you get more push back if you say that you are European and saying that you are proud of your whiteness will see a huge backlash. The fact is that not every group had the same impact on the development of this country and modern society. Why is it bad to recognize that which is objectively true? Lastly all the examples he referenced is taught in our schools. TS is not a scholar in this field. The reason we study our history regarding slavery is because it’s our history. The history taught in Europe and Asia is different.
