THREAD: EPIGENETICS RACISM & WHITE ABUSERS
Structural institutional & cultural racism/misogyny is EVERY White settler country from founding. Hwvr t/US perfected that via coding system of founding laws such that even Hitler recognized that structure as t/means to its logical
1/
GENOCIDAL end.

& WP have continued to live comfortably with sadistically cruel and frankly STOLEN PRIVILEGE & POWER every generation since. Whether WP today started that is NOT THE ISSUE. WHAT IS THE ISSUE is that cradle to grave WP benefit via legacy largesss and the
2/
privilege/power afforded WP in perpetuity without seriously stopping it all to fix that system and that in whole IS WITHOUT CONSCIENCE, EMPATHY, IS CALLOUS, SHALLOW, PATENTLY AMORAL, SADISTIC IN THE EXTREME & PSYCHOPATHIC TO THE BONE. Meanwhile generation after generation
2/
WP claim it's not me, I didn't do it; it's just Black folks are thugs who can't get out of the ghetto; while ignoring that you've surrounded us with corrupt institutional policing that continues to function much like slave catcher patrols & corruptly wearhoused us in
3/
private prisons all of which profits WP & justifies the racism and racist system that put us there to begin with.

Epigenetics doesn't just work one way shifting DNA, based on JUST and ONLY trauma.

Epigenetics is the fall out for abusers too and racism/misogyny is
4/
nothing if nothing abusive as hell.

Diagnostically, to the degree WP in the US have for generation after generation ignored these crimes & CONTINUED TO ACT AMORALLY WITHOUT CONSCIENCE, EMPATHY, & EXTRENE SADISM WHICH IN DIRECTLY & INDIRECTLY ALWAYS & ONLY EVER BENEFITS WP,
5/
MEETS FOR PSYCHOPATHY.

How could it not? The idea that generation after generation this has been normative yet there's no epigenetic changes to neural architecture of WP behaving thusly, (either by ignoring it and just going with what "I DIDNT DO"
6/
or actively seeking to increase pain & suffering) goes against ALL OF known science.

& BTW this is not an excuse.

As Ive pointed out, when there are serious consequences for such racism/racist behavior WP do not act racist THEY STOP; which means not only do WP know it's
7/
wrong but they can control themselves when the environment demands. Criminally & forensically this is known as competency and culpability.

& HERE IS THE HARD PART...

AF-AM/POC can not make these changes without a majority of WP and yet
asking WP to fix their environment
8/
to do away w/racism via immediate harsh consequences for such abuse is like asking t/fox to build t/fence to protect the hen house.

Lastly I don't expect WP to agree with me.
However facts and science stand whether anyone agrees or not.
This thread isn't for White deniers

9/
who won't admit to anything because anything that leaves them holding a guilty bag is intolerable.

I know who you are.

It's also not written for WP who think because they don't personally further racism they have nothing to answer for.

You do but I don't want words.
10/
The only amends that count are actions.

This thread is for science and all the rest of us non-White folks because a clear-eyed view lets you understand who you are doing with. And nothing was ever more necessary.

@Peace4all17 @DKThomp @KumarAGarg This is the evidence for ongoing passive genocide and as those who follow me know I've made the case for this via more threads than I can count. While there are improvements in some areas for Af-Am death rates the impact of these POLICIES IS WELL KNOWN & INCREMENTAL
1/
@Peace4all17 @DKThomp @KumarAGarg IMPROVEMENTS IS NOT AN EXCUSE OR COVER for this shameful inhumane approach b/c when those same issues hit white communities the policy response is ROBUST. To, no one ever takes into account that Af-Am have thanks to HBCs become more educated and there are more Af-Am MDs

@mj_ruleoflaw @StatenIrished My family on both sides is LONG LIVED so yes. They were with us through 94, 91 89 & 89 immigrants all except for my mother's mother (my grandmother) who was racist as hell. How she married my brown skinned grandfather from Lebanon with all that hate spilling out of her I'll

@mj_ruleoflaw @StatenIrished never know.

She and my grandfather had of course divorced by the time I was born, but all he would ever say when asked was "at one point I loved your grandmother very much." And that was that.

He was always the consummate gentleman.
She'd also thrown a fit when my

@mj_ruleoflaw @StatenIrished mother married my father that WAS ONGOING ALL THROUGH OUR CHILDHOOD'S because my dad's mother (my paternal grandmother) was "mulatto."

& Although we were never allowed to be rude to her even if she did talk racist trash drivel about my dad his mom or indirectly about us,

@mj_ruleoflaw @StatenIrished My mom had at kids at 17, 19, 32, 42 (me) 43 & 45 My sister at 17, 19, 41, & 43. Me at 35. I'm terribly grateful the values I was raised with were at least 25-30 yrs behind the times (here were not taking racism sexism homophobia- that was NEVER part of my upbringing).

There are some perks w/age & wisdom you can't put a price on.

The differences I noticed; my parents took us to museums, plays, dance performances & work, not movies; & had us conversing with adults (they had interesting

We weren't allowed to watch TV till 8 yrs old & even then only 3 hours for "special" Sunday shows (something I repeated with my daughter).
