I just said that so that they don’t hate on me. I’m from Europe

Giving up on changing certainly also isn’t the solution. We always need to stay optimistic and try our best to better ourself

This reminds me of this interview of Elon Musk and Don Lemmon where I think Elon is hitting the nail on the head. And the irony being Elon is more African American than Don Lemon since Elon actually is African and Don just is American.

Here Morgan Freeman is saying the same thing.

True, many aspects about humans are really sad

Yea and that’s the point I’m trying to make that this racism makes me feel bad. I thought I find some people that are also fed up with it like me

I just wanted to know if other people also feel uncomfortable about this like me

Great that someone can relate and I’m not the only one thinking this!

Imo that’s why we need to stop doing it. Maybe it’s too hard to do idk but it makes me feel uncomfortable when people see me or others as a color.

Exactly what I’m thinking. Imo this whole concept of “white” and “black” people doesn’t make any sense and is just an excuse for racism and hate

Yes I agree. But why can’t we stop calling people “white people” in the first place? Why can’t we just acknowledge each other as people/human beings?

That’s the exact point I was trying to make. My skin doesn’t change me as a person but peoples judgement of my skin does. If we wouldn’t judge people based on that we wouldn’t divide our self in this toxic way

Why would you judge it as something good to separate people based on how their skin looks like?

There isn’t such thing as “one color” with human skin. We all have different shades and tones by nature. People naturally look different. Your skin even changes depending how much you’re in the sun and it doesn’t make them a different person. It’s the same with eye and hair color. Imo that’s what makes us humans beautiful that we look different and don’t all look the same. This is really not hard to see

See that’s literally what I mean what upsets me. It doesn’t matter what my skin looks like, it changes nothing about me as a person. There isn’t even “white” or “black” skin. I’ve never seen people with actual white or black skin. I would say our skin is more pinkish/brown and changes in brightness/tones if anything. But why would you even make a thing about it? It seems weird and isn’t relevant

Helps a lot, thanks for your answer!

Okay awesome!

Thanks for that information!

Very interesting, thanks for the reply. I signed-up on lemm.ee since that’s the 2nd biggest instance on their list. Is this a good server as well? (The description here says: “General-purpose Lemmy instance. New users and communities welcome!”)
