i hear ya, but I still do not agree. To me, skin color is just the outward, external excuse for the process. The process is dehumanization. You are not a human because of the color of your skin. You are less valuable than other humans because of the color of your skin. Here in the United States, we even placed a numerical value on the precise fraction of a human a black person possessed. Just my own take, and I realize you do not agree, which is great, but, for me, all discrimination has the process of dehuminization at its core. It is all the same thing. For me. Whether based on creed, orientation, body mass index, disease state, being trans, being a Tutsi or Hutu, whatever. Treating other humans like they are not, in fact, humans is the root issue, in my experience, anyhoo.

I always appreciate and value your input, Sarah!!
