I hate when people, especially white people act like anti-blackness is just
an american thing and these “blacks are just overreacting” like no, anti blackness is global.. in brazil,
the black brazilians are subjected to racism and mistreatment by society
because of their skin. In the domincan republic, the dark/black dominincans (and
haitans) are faced with racism by the lighter dominicans. In some asian
countries, being mixed with black and inheriting your parent’s dark skin tone
is seen as ugly. In some non-black cultures, non-american, black people are
seen as the ‘devil’, or ‘witches’, etc. in predominately white countries filled
with people who haven’t ever actually seen
a black person, these people already conceive negative opinions about black
people from the media they see. I could list MORE examples but I think I’ve
gotten my point across.

Anti-blackness isn’t just an american thing, african americans aren’t the only
black people who face racism for being black. Anti blackness is a universal
thing that shouldn’t just be passed off as ‘oh, these black americans are too
senstaive and want attention’.

“Anti-blackness is a universal thing”!!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
