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.
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?
