I'm literally an American in the South. I am not from the Netherlands.

I just chose a European instance to make it less likely for the server to be seized by the FBI or something.

One of the things I used to do was visit the preserved museum-ified slave plantations. One reason I deplore racism so much was because I saw its impacts. I saw the unmarked graves and stuff. Really spooky stuff.

Also, the downtown area of the city I live in has a plaque where the slave market used to be.

Also, I live in what racist northerners would call the "bad side of town" so I know what systemic racism does to places.

I am of the belief that systemic racism, while it primarily impacts black people, also indirectly hurts everyone else too.

Underfunded schools make everyone less well educated, black or white, as an example.

The only reason Americans don't have nice things is because white people are willing to go without in order to ensure the continued oppression, unemployment, and disenfranchisement of black people.
