Race is the child of racism, not the father.
I think most of us were taught the opposite, that race is natural, and that racism is just a reaction to it. But in reality, race itself was created to justify systems of power, control, and hierarchy. When you really think about it, what does that shift for you? How does it change the way you understand identity, history, or even your own experiences? Drop your thoughts below. No perfect answers required, just honest reflection.

I agree, It is a social construct that has been used to place people into a hierarchy where someone is considered less than. I also think it is important not to simplify it with a reversal scenario. What we were taught in school is that race is a classification of people based on physical traits, lineage, and culture. It wasn’t until I got older that I started to see it more as a social construct that was used to compartmentalize people, through ignorance and misunderstanding.

I am me and I can only better myself. I no longer wish to be in the ignorant lane.
