occasional reflections on culture & politics
Race is exposed as a political construct born of colonialism and sustained by economic exploitation. The post traces its origins to slavery and eugenics, arguing that racism persists through institutional and cultural dehumanization. It calls for a shift from guilt to responsibility, urging collective action to dismantle systemic inequality and affirm universal humanity.
The post defends identity politics as a necessary response to systemic exclusion. It argues that while individuality should be the goal, social structures often deny recognition to marginalized groups. Identity is framed as socially constructed and politically enforced, making advocacy essential to expanding the boundaries of normality and achieving genuine equality.
White privilege is the unearned advantage conferred by systemic norms. The post explains how privilege operates invisibly, shaping access, safety, and opportunity. Acknowledging it is not guilt—it’s a step toward justice and equity.
