That is POSSIBLY true. I am going with probabilities here with only the data I have. statistically probably heâs probably not racist against his own race.
My point isnât to make a claim, you made a claim. I just wanted to point out that there is not enough information based on this one post to claim that.
What does oil have to do with humans? If someone asked me to define my type I wouldnât put someone who is morbidly obese. Doesnât mean I think less of them. I respect and appreciate them as much as the next person but that doesnât mean I want to fuck them.

That is absolutely not something most black people have done.
Like, not even close.

Maybe thereâs less racism in your country than where Iâm from. Iâm from Australia and thatâs what Iâve been told by the black people I know around here.

Iâm from diet Australia with guns (Texas. Former coworker from Australia described the state as such) and that upsets me.
Iâve taken several of my fellow melanin-deficient (now ex) coworkers to management for saying unacceptably stupid shit. The idea people could be dumber over race in todayâs abundance of knowledge is just upsetting.

The government was taking black children away from their parents and putting them on missions to be raised by nuns until the 1970s. Many werenât citizens until the 1967 referendum on Aboriginal rights. They werenât counted as part of the population in the national census, and werenât required to vote.
Itâs very similar to how America treated its Indigenous people, except the Turtle Islanders had treaties. As far as I know, we didnât have any treaties with Aboriginal people here until the late 20th century. We still donât in many places.
I think the biggest reason for that is that the Turtle Islanders built a lot more permanent structures that were obviously humanmade. Thatâs not the case in most of Australia. Aboriginal people made their mark on the landscape by using cold fire to terraform the natural environment into an ideal habitat for food species. It was a form of agriculture fully integrated into the natural environment, and thus invisible to early white people. A lot of colonisers had no idea that the land they were stealing was inhabited, until the locals showed up months later asking what these foreigners were doing in their homes.
White people had no fucking clue how to even perceive the advanced structures the First Australians built, so they viewed the people as akin to animals and barely bothered to treat with them.
