About this user
I believe in more than just Pan-Africanism. I promote both it and consciousness among ALL peoples of color. One of the ways I do this is by exposing racism and educating those who are not familiar with true racism. Racism is a highly organized, working system of group privilege created to benefit members of a certain race demographic. They are laws, rules, and beliefs which regardless of intentions involved defend the advantages and actions of members of a single race demographic, even when those advantages and actions hinder another. They are rules, laws, and beliefs forced on a people by those members of the trespassing race demographic. They are obstacles built by the trespassing race demographic to keep those of another race demographic that they trespass against in a subordinate position. Only those who dominate the opinion of the masses can be racist. All others, are simply prejudice for showing preference to a certain race demographic. Globally who is it that controls the opinion of the masses even though they are a minority?
Deeming one who does not fall into this category a racist, is racist in and of itself, reason being that throwing this title around at ANYONE implies that EVERYONE is playing this game called "Life" on an even playing field. This ignores that certain people have an advantage and have control over the high ground. Ignoring the fact that we are not all equal, is yet another way to perpetuate the gears in the racist system we are all forcibly made to take part in.

Did you come up with the correct answer to the question I asked? 'Globally who is it that controls the opinion of the masses even though they are a minority?' That's right, it's Europeans. It's European logic and reason that dictate what the majority is made to think and it's Europeans that dictate whether or not the words you use are used in proper context. The European opinion dictates what you, the majority are taught when it comes to history, "proper" logic, and even your own self outlook. This in turn gives them control over what your(the majority) opinion is. Did you think that it was a coincidence that when using "proper" logic, the majority of what you have been taught just happens to benifit Europeans? Whether the information they've placed in your head aids in justifying the negative actions(both past and present) of Europeans or if it puts them on a pedistool and tells you that you should aspire to be like them, it's time to wake up and take a stance against their bigotry. Stand up and speak out against them. Stand up and move against them. Their shameless tactics know no boundries. If they can use a hand that looks like yours to act as a catalyst to prepetuate their system, know that they will do just that. We have a long road ahead of us, but I march on proudly with my people; my conscious people.
