       Psychological decolonization
       By: 90sRetroFan Date: July 9, 2020, 3:52 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       OLD CONTENT
       Really, all other aspects of decolonization would follow
       spontaneously if we thoroughly decolonized (ie. eliminate
       Eurocentrism from) how people perceive the world. But this is
       the hardest one. I have even encountered people who on the
       conscious level sincerely want to stop being Eurocentric, but
       are unable to do so on the subconscious level.
       In any society, there will be more self-confident people and
       less self-confident people as a matter of statistical
       distribution. This on its own would be, and has been throughout
       history, tolerable. The problem from the colonial era onwards is
       that, due to Eurocentrism, the lack of self-confidence goes all
       one-way, whether the parameter be pigmentation, sexual
       dimorphism, height or any other. For example, where are the
       insecure light-skinned people who try to darken their skin? They
       virtually don't exist. (Guess why not.)
       And parents (as always) make things even worse:
       [quote]colourism often starts from birth, where parents favour
       the children with lighter skin.[/quote]

       That is freaking heartbreaking.

       At least people are pointing it out:

       [quote]'This is so white!' Miss India pageant comes under fire
       for having 'no dark skin' beauty queens among the 'identically'
       pale finalists
       ...
       The organisation came under fire after a newspaper published
       headshots of all 30 women competing to take home the crown.
       Twitter user LeBrown James shared a photo of the collage,
       asking: 'What's wrong with this picture?'
       The question sparked dozens of responses from social media users
       who pointed out that all the women have 'fair skin', with one
       saying simply: 'This is so white!'[/quote]
       ---
       For sure. I think it is primarily because I have somewhat
       internalized the Eurocentric notion that self confidence is
       "arrogance" when exuded from a "non-white" person.
       Some non-Westerners I have encountered also struggle with this,
       as they find it difficult to rebut the argument (from rightists)
       that colonialism is just a "part of history", and should
       therefore be accepted.

       [quote]Mexican Magazines Are Way Whiter Than The Actual Mexican
       Population
       ...
       Dark-skinned individuals make up — at maximum — 20 percent of
       the people shown in these 15 magazines.
       ...
       Quién, a society magazine, was the whitest in our analysis: only
       2 percent of the people in its pages were brown or black.
       ...
       None of the people on the covers of the magazines we looked at
       have dark skin.
       ...
       When dark-skinned Mexicans do appear on magazine pages, they
       tend to be in stories about philanthropy, charity events or
       travel.
       In Esquire, the only two dark-skinned Mexicans in the issue
       appeared in content about an entrepreneurship program.
       In Vanity Fair México, we found only one indigenous child in
       content about an educational charity, and three other
       dark-skinned Mexican people at an event with the president and
       first lady of Mexico.
       In Quién, Indigenous activist Eufrosina Cruz is one of the few
       dark-skinned people in the magazine and appears dressed in
       traditional Zapotec clothing.
       In Vanidades, the only dark-skinned people in the issue are
       three Indigenous people in a story on the celebration of Day of
       the Dead in Spain.
       In Marie Claire México, the majority of the dark-skinned people
       appear in a photo feature about Havana, Cuba.
       The rest of the brown and black people appearing in the
       magazines are non-Mexican celebrities or political figures, like
       Beyoncé and Barack Obama.[/quote]

       The article tries to blame the magazine editors, but I would say
       that editors are just pragmatically doing whatever helps to sell
       their magazines. Supply follows demand. The real problem lies
       with the consumers, who are still traumatically mindfucked from
       the colonial era. Change how the consumers view the world, and
       the magazine photos will change by themselves as a consequence
       of market forces.

       [quote]Uppal has been studying the effects of Disney princesses
       on girls internationally since 2009. In a world where Disney's
       TV channels are broadcast in 133 countries, and its films and
       merchandise pervade even more, she wanted to see how girls of
       different nationalities perceived the idea of a princess.
       Between 2009 and 2018, she asked nearly 140 girls to draw a
       princess. They were ages 8 to 15 and lived in five countries —
       the U.S., China, Fiji, India and Sweden. She then conducted
       private, 10-to-15-minute interviews with each girl, with
       questions like, "Who is a princess?" and "What age did you start
       watching Disney princess films?" and "Do you think you could be
       a princess?" Most girls said they had been watching Disney films
       since before they could remember.
       Her latest study, published in March in the journal Social
       Sciences, analyzed 63 princess drawings from girls in Fiji,
       India and Sweden. In this sample, nearly every drawing — 61 out
       of 63 — depicted a light-skinned princess, many of those
       resembling Disney characters. Fijian girls drew multiple Ariels;
       Indian girls drew Belles and Sleeping Beauties. Not one girl
       drew a princess in her country's traditional garb.
       "We didn't say, 'Draw a Disney princess.' We said, 'Draw a
       princess,' " Uppal says. "In India, they didn't draw a single
       girl in a sari, or in Fiji a sulu chamba [traditional Fijian
       garb]."
       Additionally, some girls from non-Western nations — India, Fiji
       and China — said in their interviews with Uppal that they could
       not be a princess because their skin was too dark and they were
       not beautiful enough.
       ...
       Since the introduction of Jasmine in 1992, four young women of
       color have been added to the company's official princess lineup:
       Pocahontas, Moana, Tiana and Mulan.
       "The newer princesses of color have definitely expanded the
       vision of what constitutes a princess," Hains says.
       But Uppal says her report would indicate that this new wave of
       diverse princesses "has not replaced images of popular white
       princesses in Disney that have a much older and global
       presence." Most girls surveyed preferred the "classic," white
       princesses to Mulan and Jasmine.
       ...
       Of course, Disney is not solely responsible for white and
       Western notions of beauty: Both Fiji and India were colonized
       for many decades, ingraining the concept of whiteness-as-beauty
       before Disney products ever reached their shores. But Uppal's
       findings show that Disney may bolster these notions, Hains says.
       "It's another data point that reinforces these stereotypes and
       harmful beliefs about who's good enough and who can be
       considered beautiful."[/quote]
       One reason why the girls prefer the "classic" princesses is
       because Disney itself added the "diverse" princesses purely for
       the sake of "diversity", not because it genuinely felt inspired
       by them. And the girls can sense this:
       [quote]Asked by Uppal about the origins of princesses like
       Jasmine and Mulan, a number of girls in India and Fiji
       maintained these princesses were "American," not from the Middle
       East or China as the movies portray.[/quote]
       They can tell the difference between authentic characters and PC
       quota characters, and will understandably feel uncomfortable
       with the latter. The very need for Disney to quota-insert
       precisely one princess of each "non-white" ethnicity, amidst a
       conspicuous supermajority of "white" princesses, sends an
       obvious signal that the "non-white" princesses have nothing to
       offer beyond ethnic tokenism, whereas the "white" princesses are
       the ones that - PC aside - Disney actually wants to feature. The
       girls interviewed are merely picking up on this patronization.
       What Disney - an American company - should have is 0% of its
       princesses from Old World fairytales, and 100% of its princesses
       from New World fairytales. We do not care about "diversity". We
       care about rejecting Eurocentrism.

       The irony at the end when they talk about how they have now
       learned to be proud of how they look, even though most of them
       have dyed hair.....
       And let's be honest: by absolute standards, they are ugly. What
       makes them psychologically colonized is that they think it's
       their "non-whiteness" making them ugly, when in reality it is
       their bad genes. The solution is not to tell them they are
       beautiful (as many False Left commenters attempt to) because
       that is just untrue. The True Left solution is to teach them to
       start noticing the obvious: that most "whites" are just as ugly
       (if not more so).
       The following is what goes on inside Eurocentric minds. When you
       tell them to imagine a generic "white" person, they
       automatically imagine an aesthetically idealized "white" person.
       Whereas when you tell them to imagine a generic [insert
       "non-white" ethnicity here] person, they automatically imagine
       an aesthetically mediocre [insert "non-white" ethnicity here]
       person. In other words, they let an idealized stereotype
       represent their image of "whites" in general, and mediocre
       stereotypes represent their image of "non-whites" in general.
       Once this double-standard is in place, then when they see
       average/below-average "white" people in real-life, they perceive
       merely flawed versions of the idealized "white" stereotype
       (therefore still fundamentally beautiful in their minds).
       Whereas when they see above-average "non-white" people in
       real-life, they perceive either merely upgrades of the mediocre
       [insert "non-white" ethnicity here] stereotype (therefore still
       fundamentally ugly in their minds), or - worse - partial
       resemblance to the idealized "white" stereotype (therefore
       beautiful in their minds, but only because they "look
       white"(!!!), instead of realizing that the beauty comes from
       resemblance to the ideal, not resemblance to the "whiteness",
       and it is Eurocentrism which spuriously superposed the
       "whiteness" over the ideal inside their own minds).
       They often are not consciously aware of this. What we are here
       to do is help people first become conscious of this, and then
       get rid of this conditioned perception.

       This is how bad the Eurocentrism is:

       [quote]In Mexico there are many begger children, kids who beg on
       the streets for money. Everyone is aware of them, and no one
       does anything, they just pass by them on their car. One day a
       blonde haired girl was photographed on the streets begging for
       change, a guy took a photo of her, and the Mexican media went
       into a frenzy trying to "rescue" her. After everything was
       settled she was given donations.[/quote]
       I'm not saying this particular girl should not have received
       charity, of course. But should not all the other beggar children
       also receive charity from those willing to help this girl? What
       the fuck is going on inside people's heads? (Answer:
       Eurocentrism.)
       This reminds me of an older story:
       www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2476772/DNA-test-confirms-Bulga
       rian-woman-IS-natural-mother-blonde-haired-Maria.html
       Again, a "white"-looking child in poverty was caught on camera
       and the media instantly freaked out. As if "non-white" children
       in poverty is no big deal, but a "white" child in poverty is an
       emergency that requires instant investigation (including DNA
       testing!).

       www.yahoo.com/news/why-black-puerto-ricans-choose-130945476.html
       [quote]More than three-quarters of Puerto Ricans identified as
       white on the last census, even though much of the population on
       the island has roots in Africa. That number is down from 80% 20
       years ago, but activists and demographers say it is still
       inaccurate and they are working to get more Puerto Ricans of
       African descent to identify as black on the next census in an
       effort to draw attention to the island’s racial disparities.
       All residents of Puerto Rico can select “Yes, Puerto Rican” on
       the census to indicate their Hispanic origin. But when it comes
       to race, residents must choose among “white,” “black,” “American
       Indian,” multiple options for Asian heritage, or they can write
       something in. Most Puerto Ricans choose “white.”
       ...
       Bárbara I. Abadía-Rexach, a sociology professor at the
       University of Puerto Rico and a member of Colectivo Ilé, was
       shocked when she learned how many Puerto Ricans identified as
       white on the last census.
       ...
       “There are people that don’t want to use the word black because
       they think it’s an insult, and there is still that idea that we
       need to ‘better the race,’” Abadía-Rexach said, referring to
       mejorar la raza, a popular saying in Latin American countries
       that suggests light skin is more desirable than dark
       skin.[/quote]
       And the punchline:
       [quote]Centuries ago, a policy known as gracias al sacar allowed
       black Puerto Ricans with mixed racial heritage to petition Spain
       to be reclassified as white for a fee.[/quote]

       Does this work the other way round? No. Why not? Eurocentrism.
       "Whites" in formerly colonized countries get all kinds of
       special favours for being fluent in the local language (on top
       of the favours they already get just for being "white"), whereas
       "non-whites" in former colonial powers are expected to be fluent
       in the local language just to be barely tolerated.
       The underlying message is that the colonized feels flattered
       that the colonizer deigned to learn the local language, which is
       a self-declaration of subservience, which is why it only happens
       one way round. This subservient mentality is what we are here to
       end.

       to stop he proceeded to tell off the police. The police just
       stood idly by and did nothing.
       ---
       "Why do the local police tolerate such behavior?"
       They are psychologically colonized, therefore still behave as if
       all "whites" are colonialists who are above the law.
       ---
       Here is an old enemy article that elucidates what is going on
       inside the colonized mind of the author (David Yeagley,
       "non-white" Eurocentrist):
       vdare.com/articles/what-s-up-with-white-women-and-white-men
       [quote]This article came about as the result of a simple
       exchange between myself and a white female student, back when I
       was teaching at Oklahoma State University (Oklahoma City
       campus).
       ...
       "Look at your culture," she said to me. "Look at American Indian
       tradition. Now I think that's really great. You have something
       to be proud of. My culture is nothing."
       ...
       Her words disturbed and offended me in a way that I could not
       quite enunciate.
       I could hardly concentrate the rest of the day. I lay awake that
       night thinking about what she had said.
       ...
       On the one hand, I was proud to say that it took the greatest
       culture in the world to defeat the Indians. But, on the other
       hand, if this young heiress of America considered her own
       culture to be “nothing”, then what did that say of mine[/quote]
       In other words, all possibility that his own culture is superior
       to the colonizers' culture has already been eliminated inside
       Yeagley's mind. Therefore the only way he can cope is to imagine
       his colonizers' culture to be so great that even inferiority to
       it is not shameful. Thus, when someone looks down on the
       colonizers, even though that same person admires his culture,
       his mind is incapable of processing this information to reach
       the correct conclusion (that the colonizers are the inferior
       ones). Instead, he is compelled to defend the narrative of the
       colonizers' superiority in order to preserve his own slavish
       "pride".
       [quote]I believe in my Comanche people. I know that someday
       we'll stand as equals before the white man, strong, prosperous
       and self-sufficient. But we won't get there by listening to
       empty praise from guilty white women. We'll get there by
       studying the white man's ways and learning to be strong as he
       is."[/quote]
       The absolute best he is capable of envisioning is being equal to
       "whites". Have you ever seen a more pathetic creature than
       Yeagley? (And worse, you can tell that he thinks what he wrote
       sounds cool.)
       ---
       Sad! You have proven to me things are much, much worse, than I
       had ever imagined. Holy cow! Yeagley has clearly never taken the
       time to imagine what a world without western colonialism may
       have looked like, or a better world for that matter. That is
       also sad, especially for a teacher. To fall in love with a
       barbarian, talk about Stockholm syndrome! What do you think the
       things Yeagley would list as to why western culture is superior
       to American Indian culture if he were asked?

       "I have seen a lot of these “I used to be Eurocentric” type
       tweets. What do you make of them? Is it a case of the subject
       actually gaining self esteem, or are they merely attempting to
       convince themselves of this?"
       In this particular case there is no clear indication from her
       words that she is no longer Eurocentric. She could have merely
       personally given up trying to look "whiter", but this does not
       imply that her tastes have changed (in the same way that many
       incels who have personally given up lifting weights still
       believe that a heavily muscular physique is superior). The way I
       interpret her words, it appears she claims to have been bullied
       for her skin colour and hence at one stage tried to lighten her
       skin colour, though that has ended. This is a sign of low
       self-esteem to begin with. (Whereas if she had said something
       like: "Being bullied for my skin color made me give up trying to
       lighten it as I was doing before the bullying started", I would

       lighten her skin previously (as she would if she were ashamed of
       her former Eurocentrism), why isn't she now tanning with the
       other girls in order to cancel out her previous efforts?

       [quote]Johnson & Johnson has decided to stop selling
       skin-whitening creams popular in Asia and the Middle East, after
       such products have come under renewed social pressure in recent
       weeks amid a global debate about racial inequality. The company
       will stop selling its Clean & Clear fairness line of products,
       sold in India, a spokeswoman told Reuters. It was reported
       earlier this month that it would drop its Neutrogena Fine
       Fairness line, available in Asia and the Middle East. Reactions
       to Johnson & Johnson’s decision on social media ranged from the
       incredulous to the supportive. “Pure racism and sexism towards
       Asian women. Our rights as [an] ethnic minority are being
       infringed [upon],” wrote a commenter based in Hong Kong. “Her

       So businesses cannot decide what products to sell?! This is how
       Eurocentrism fucks up people's thinking.
       ---
       "This really isn't specific to the thread's main idea, but
       whenever I'm near those who appear to be "Asian" (East Asian,
       from my guesses), I can feel how terrified they are of me. It
       could just be my paranoia, but especially in supermarkets. In
       the area I live in, they aren't common civilians, but I just
       remember strictly an incident where I was at a supermarket in
       the aisle, and this Asian woman looked very wary and kept her
       child super close to her when she was near me. I also remember
       visiting a considerably wealthy area near the coast that had a
       beach. We went on to beach and I could literally sense that we
       were being stared at or watched, like we weren't supposed to be
       there. Surprisingly, I never really endure much ethnic profiling
       from whites because the part of the state I live in has a high
       density of minorities, which warrants more tension between these
       groups. Actually, I experience more racism from other minorities
       (online) than white people. It's super strange."
       Firstly, please use "" around "Asian". "Asia" only exists in
       Western minds.
       Secondly, her behaviour is almost certainly an example of
       Eurocentrism at work, which is what we are here to end. You
       should ask her whether it was your co-ethnics who colonized her
       co-ethnics in the past. And yet the actual colonizing
       ethnicities are probably the ones she ironically has no wariness
       towards at all. That is what is so fucked up about this whole
       situation.

       Earlier we had already seen signs of Uncle Tom behaviour from
       Christian Cooper:
  HTML https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/christian-cooper-amy-cooper-cnn-200302542.html
       [quote]Christian Cooper told CNN’s Don Lemon on Tuesday that he
       didn’t want to make a situation worse and said as offensive as
       the woman’s actions, people should remain civil.
       “I am told there has been death threats and that is wholly
       inappropriate and abhorrent and should stop immediately,” he
       said. “I find it strange that people who were upset that ...
       that she tried to bring death by cop down on my head, would then
       turn around and try to put death threats on her head. Where is
       the logic in that?[/quote]
       (The logic is simple: retribution. You "find it strange" only
       because you are psychologically colonized. It is because of
       people like you that racists get away with as much as they do.
       By defending your own tormentor, you not only betray yourself,
       but become culpable for all her subsequent victims. Thus you are
       part of the problem. If you do not shape up soon, any true
       anti-racist will be only too happy to shoot through you to hit
       the one you are protecting.)
       Well, he's still doing it! And this time he's against not just
       vigilante justice, but also state justice!

       [quote]The Manhattan district attorney’s decision to charge a
       white woman with filing a false police report against a Black
       man in Central Park does not have the support of one key person:
       the victim himself.
       The man, Christian Cooper, has not cooperated with the
       prosecution’s investigation. The woman, Amy Cooper, lost her job
       and was publicly shamed after a video Christian Cooper made on
       May 25 was posted online; it showed her calling 911 to claim an
       “African American man” was threatening her. Those consequences
       alone, Christian Cooper said at the time, were in his view
       perhaps too much punishment.
       “On the one hand, she’s already paid a steep price,” Christian
       Cooper said in a statement on Tuesday. “That’s not enough of a
       deterrent to others? Bringing her more misery just seems like
       piling on.” But he added that he understood there was a greater
       principle at stake and that this should be defended. “So if the
       DA feels the need to pursue charges, he should pursue charges.
       But he can do that without me.”[/quote]
       This is how you recognize total psychological colonization. This
       is identical to the above-noted behaviour of "non-white" police
       officers in formerly colonized countries letting "white" (and
       only "white") tourists/foreign workers/etc. break the law with
       impunity.
       And Cooper isn't the only Uncle Tom around either:
       [quote]City Councilman Donovan J. Richards, D-Queens, who chairs
       the public safety committee, said that he was not overjoyed to
       hear that charges had been brought against Amy Cooper. For him,
       the matter was complicated.
       “I don’t think any of us are celebrating the fact that she was
       arrested,” said Richards, who is Black. “I’m hoping at the end
       of the day she learned her lesson and that this is a teachable
       moment for folks — that they can’t just call 911 and put
       people’s lives in danger just because their privilege is being
       checked.”[/quote]
       For Eurocentrists like Cooper and Richards, their motivation for
       anti-racism is itself Eurocentric: they want these "whites" to
       one day learn to stop seeing "non-whites" as inferior, whereupon
       they themselves can then at last enjoy the validation as equals
       coming from these same "whites", which they have longed for.
       This validation, and nothing else, is what really matters to
       them. This is why they are so obsessed with teaching "white"
       racists to not be racist (which is impossible, by the way),
       instead of simply wanting to exterminate racists as we do. Being
       told by other "non-whites" that "non-whites" are not inferior is
       not satisfying to them. It has to be "whites" unanimously
       telling them that "non-whites" are not inferior in order for
       them to feel non-inferior, so low is their self-esteem.
       Which in itself proves their inferiority (not necessarily
       compared to "whites", but compared to non-Eurocentrists).

       Another aspect of Eurocentrism is that multiethnic Eurocentrists
       always try to emphasize their "white" side and downplay their
       "non-white" side:

       about the removal of Spanish conquistador monuments is pushing
       for New Mexico to end its support for Chicano and Native
       American Studies.
       In a letter to University of New Mexico President Garnett
       Stokes, New Mexico League of United Latin American Citizens
       executive director Ralph Arellanes wrote that the state’s
       largest university should dismantle both programs because they
       teach Latino students “self-hate” about their Spanish
       heritage.[/quote]
       Should children conceived from rape not hate their rapist

       [quote]The demand comes as Albuquerque and the small community
       of Alcalde removed statues of Spanish conquistadors following
       racial injustice protests. Some Native Americans in New Mexico
       have long objected to the public glorification of Spanish
       conquistadors like Don Juan de Oñate, who they blamed for
       violence and enslavement of some Indigenous populations during
       the region’s Spanish colonial period.
       But some Hispanic activists, like Arellanes, who trace their
       family linage to early Spanish settlers, regularly celebrate
       Oñate and other similar figures.[/quote]
       We should treat Arellanes the same way we would treat the
       conquistadors themselves.

       “Emphasize their ‘white’ side”
       Yes. And when non-Eurocentric POC (I.e. “blacks”) justifiably
       accuse them of being Eurocentric, these POC in turn accuse them
       of “dividing the movement”. It is no coincidence that these
       types are also reproductive Eurocentrists.
       This is why I am sympathetic to, for example, “blacks” who
       criticize “mixed” race POC for being Eurocentric, as well as
       other POC (such as “Asians” and “Latinos) who try to “act
       white”, which is what their criticism is primarily directed at,
       rather than those ethnicities themselves. Remember the Ice Cube
       song “Black Korea” you were talking about earlier? The same
       dynamic applies here. It will also help weed out the
       reproductive Eurocentrists who will inevitably show their true
       colors.

       “Should children conceived from rape not hate their rapist
       parent's bloodline?”
       Those that do not should not reproduce. It is worth noting that
       Jewish owned “black” online magazines like “The Root” have
       published slave/master “fantasy fiction” that actively
       encourages female “blacks” to sexually eroticize slave masters.
       Yet these same publications shame “black” men as being
       “misogynistic” for wanting relationships with other “black”
       women. I intend to elaborate on this in the “reproductive
       decolonization thread” once you have posted the old content.

       "these POC in turn accuse them of “dividing the movement”."
       In the case of "Latin" Eurocentrists, some think of "the
       movement" in the US as merely being about replacing the "white"
       Anglo elite (including Anglo Jews) with a similarly "white"
       Hispanic elite (including Hispanic Jews).....
       "It is no coincidence that these types are also reproductive
       Eurocentrists."
       Exactly. Except here they don't even care about Anglo vs
       Hispanic anymore..... If anything they might even prefer Anglo,
       because Hispanic (regardless of how blond) is assumed to carry a
       fraction of New World blood (which is what they want to get rid
       of whether or not they admit it).....
       "“mixed” race POC"
       Do you mean multiethnic, or are you really talking about mixed
       Aryan/non-Aryan POC?
       (I actually have a racial theory of Eurocentrism (in addition to
       colonialism causing Eurocentrism). I currently suspect that,
       among prehistoric Gentiles, Giants would have been considered
       superior (e.g. on account of physical size, sexual dimorphism,
       etc.). On the other hand, among prehistoric Aryans, there would
       have been no particular reason to consider Aesir etc. superior,
       since their Golden Age was not better than the Golden Age
       elsewhere. So when present-day "non-whites" worship "whites", it
       would be a function of their Gentile blood memory. Based on my
       anecdotal observations of individuals, Eurocentrism does seem
       less frequent (or weaker in manifestation) among "non-whites"
       with noticeable Aryan traits, though as always there are
       exceptions.)

       "Do you mean multiethnic, or are you really talking about mixed
       Aryan/non-Aryan POC?"
       I meant multiethnic, hence why I put "mixed" in quotes.
       Specifically those with one "white" and "non-white" parent who
       try to downplay their "non-white" ancestry.
       "So when present-day "non-whites" worship "whites", it would be
       a function of their Gentile blood memory."
       Yes. This is why some women were sexually attracted to the
       conquistadors, because they saw them as "worthy conquerors"
       (LOL). In Gentile culture, "worthy conquest" seems to be
       synonymous with rape, pillage, and plunder.

       Also, regarding the term POC, I have no issue with the term
       itself, but I can understand why some "black" nationalists might
       have an issue with it. This is because Jews have introduced many
       categories within "POC" such as latino, asian, etc. that
       effectively creates a hierarchy within this category in which
       "white" adjacent groups, such as "white" latinos, "model
       minority" asians, and "mixed" ethnicity "blacks" are given
       precedence over "blacks", who are placed at the bottom of the
       hierarchy. They do this because they recognize the former group
       is more easily manipulable toward Zionist interests than the
       latter group, as they will do anything to gain brownie points
       from "whites".
       What do you think? Should the POC term be discarded in favor of
       something like "non-whites", or should we simply take aim at the
       extra categories and attempt to get rid of them? I recommend
       both approaches.
