What about racism?

The fight against racism is a tough one as it’s enshrined in upbringings, culture, history, and religions. The privilege we all have came at a heavy price. A history of slavery and abuse that enriched and empowered the privilege we individually received.

It’s easy for me to say I have nothing to do with it. I built my success without any of that. But the truth is the system that allowed me to succeed here in America was built on a land taken from the indigenous inhabitants by force and built with slave workers. Shouldn’t part of my success be paid back to help the children of those people? Not as a charity but as a rent and a lease payment owed to them.

An example from Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold_II_of_Belgium:

"Leopold's administration of the Congo was characterised by murder, torture, and atrocities, resulting from notorious systematic brutality. The hands of men, women, and children were amputated when the quota of rubber was not met. These and other facts were established at the time by eyewitness testimony and on-site inspection by an international Commission of Inquiry (1904). Millions of the Congolese people died: modern estimates range from 1 million to 15 million deaths, with a consensus growing around 10 million."

Of course this example is repeated in all the countries we all came from in other shapes or forms. Human history is filled with brutality and all kinds of discriminations. Shouldn’t we proactively cleanse our souls from that past by actively building a better future for all? A future for one humanity, on one Earth, with one destiny and a common purpose, where every human is treated as an asset regardless of where they were born and raised.
