I've been seeing this for a long while going through the works of Jose Rizal and people here in the Philippines believes it, that if it wasn't for the United States of America and it's "oppressive" treatment of blacks, there wouldn't be racism in the world.
So who wrote and propagated this narrative, when and on what publication? Help me to dig deep into this.
Leon Trotsky. For the purpose of cowing and intimidating opponents of leftist ideology. In his History of the Russian Revolution Trotsky applied the word racist to Slavophiles, who opposed Communism. Leon Trotsky’s 1930 work, "The History of the Russian Revolution", from which shown above is a passage. The last word in that passage is "PACNCTOB", whose Latin transliteration is "racistov", i.e., "racists". This work here is the first time in history one will ever find that word. he Slavophiles which Trotsky alluded to were historically a group of traditionalist Slavs who valued greatly their native culture and way of life, and wanted to protect it. Trotsky on the other hand saw them and others like them as an impedement to his internationalist communist plans for the world. This man didn’t care one iota about the Slavic Russians whom he supposedly served. To him, Slavophiles, i.e. Slavs that committed the "crime" of loving their own people and trying to protect their traditional ways were simply "backward", and others like them were simply "racists"........The Oxford English Dictionary says the first recorded utterance of the word racism in the US was by a man named Richard Henry Pratt in 1902 while Pratt was railing against the evils of racial segregation.
this is a nice article
Found the crypto commie.
No counter-argument, just name-calling? Someone is mad that his BS got debunked.
nobody really cares who first uttered the word, it's just obvious to anyone with two braincells to rub together that the word and idea is purely a tool for commies to fall back on when everything else fails.
my idea makes no realistic, spiritual, economic, physical sense?
well, you're racist! take that!
It sure looked like he did.
Correct. Just like 'commie' is a tool for other idiots (like OP, who lied and then did not want to admit it) when all else fails.
cool cool. how is that a tool when it's true? every cultural, philosophical, economic, political retardation of today can cleanly be traced back to communist roots.
Cause he called someone a commie for debunking him. How are you incapable of getting this?
You mean this?? Before racism it was called "racialist", which would be attributed to the frogs and their revolution.

It was invented by Pratt, a cavalry officer who became an Indian sympathiser and set up the first boarding school to help them integrate into white society (which were then came to be infamous for being "racist", ironically).
In fairness, OP asked "who started the narrative that America invented racism?", not "who invented racism?"
Which I added at the end.
No, that still didn't answer his question.
His question is: Who invented the narrative that the US invented racism?
ACHTUNG! JUDEN!
Retarded New Yorkers? They're just the type to do it.
No one answered your question yet, so I'll give it a shot.
To be honest, I don't know, but it should be a fairly modern and likely American Black Racialist concept. Even on the Left currently, the argument is that that Whiteness was invented by the Americans and that therefore they invented Racism. It probably would have originated from the same people who came up with "Racism = Privilege + Power" back in the 1970's.
