We do not. I’m sick of people saying that we do.
And I think it matters to point out that the concept of racism is a violent ideology that will inevitably lead to violence. That’s the whole point of the ideology, to violently keep one set of people in power, at the expense of others. That’s it. You can’t be peacefully racist, or peacefully anti-semitic. It’s not how that works. It will eventually result in some violence, because people will never accept being second class citizens in their own country. That’s what people get wrong about Franz Fanon’s work - the violence he discusses in Wretched of the Earth is from the oppressed class (in the form of resistance to imperialism) is a reaction TO violent oppression. The violence, though carried out by the oppressed class is the result of the violence visited upon them.
You can’t have a peaceful racist system. It’s impossible. It will always end up in violence, most often visited upon the oppressed. The violence of rebellion is a direct response to that.
