Although America is legitimately repugnant the problem with europeans trying to critique America is that they dont see America as a direct product of their own imperialism and dont acknowledge that Europe to this day benefits from its continued brutality of the global south.

This whole conversations just boils down to y’all being jealous that a group of people who were literal slaves 200 years ago out cultured you in every aspect of culture while you all had an over 1,500 years head start.

Being Black and living in Europe and seeing those sorts of tweets genuinely spins me. Every other week there’s a fascist march, a far-right group gaining momentum or pogrom against Black and Brown ppl, but #they come on here and LIE about this colourless utopia. Madness.

And I do need y’all to understand that African-Americans are subjected to global
south conditions. Sociologist Robert Staples referred to this as the Fourth World theory—populations in the First World subjected to Third World conditions. But a lot of y’all keep acting like African-American are imperial beneficiaries instead of victims like the rest of the world’s exploited groups.

Europe spent 400 years using slave labour in colonies to build its wealth, rebranded this extraction model in the 20th century and somehow its citizens still believe their social conditions are a result of some superior intellect rather than inhuman violence.
