“Racism” needs a mythological structure in order to exist because it is a blanket statement to excuse actions. This is why we have Roots, which even the writer admits is intended to be mythological. It was always about race obsession not facts.
Totally agree. That’s why I now tell people the only one oppressing you is the one staring at you in the mirror. Another quote I like is “you may not control what happens to you, you are 100% in control of how you react”. Granted some people have it worse than others but history is full of people who found success despite horrible upbringings.
