RACISM IS PERMANENT
IN ALL WHITE SOCIETIES

The Issue

‘RACISM IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT IS’ ~ The Racism Handbook. It’s the morning and at some point today, tomorrow or next week you will be ‘a victim of racism’. Without a doubt an incident will happen. Something hurtful will be said. You may overlook look it but deep-down you know it’s racism. Yet, does ‘a victim of racism’ sound too harsh? Surely there are different levels to racism? Or are there representations of racism? Well, that depends on how you understand racism. If racism is dehumanisation, what then is the utility of a supposed hierarchy of ‘racisms’ – and to whose benefit?

The Book

The Racism Handbook for People Classified as Black: A Guide to How Racism Really Works: attempts to be scientific in its approach. It outlines the historical background, development, context and function of modern ‘race’ and racism as it applies to ‘black’ people. As a ‘black’ person you cannot work-out how racism completely functions by just ‘thinking about’ it in your head – it cannot be done. This book explains exactly what ‘race’ and racism is and when it first began.

The Solution

This handbook will change your life. It will do so by giving you a knowledge of the true ‘black’ or ‘African self’ (Akbar, 1999). You will be fully educated in the essential details of Black History and your modern, social and political existence in ‘white’ society. Your understanding of the meaning of ‘race’ and racism will greatly increase. You will therefore see through the race-based deceptions in ‘white’ societies. You will no longer be ‘racially illiterate’ as you properly grasp the full meaning of ‘Empire’ and ‘real liberation’ from its indelible link to ‘race’ and racism.

Stunning Examples of Racism

The Racism Handbook answers the question:

‘When did people start calling each other black and white, red and yellow?

It unravels contemporary racist practise and racist coded language directed against ‘black’ people. It explains how nineteenth century ‘race’ theories work. It focuses on key players who helped to form and reinforce them. It outlines the motivations and meaning behind European expansionism – which it argues is essentially ‘racism’.

The book explains the centrality of ‘race’ to the making of the modern world.

This Handbook discusses difficult questions such as:

  • How can the world become post-racial when globally dominant Europeans insist on being ‘classified as white’ people’?

Surely, the first stage of a post-racial world is to eliminate ‘race’ terminology such as: ‘white’, ‘black’, ‘race’ or Asian people. Subsequently, The Handbook it explores the way that:

  • ‘Racism’ has its own logic – racial logic – which is foundational to the ‘theory’ and practise of ‘racism, white supremacy’.

The Book reveals how this ‘logic’ presents itself as endless race-based social and political contradictions’ which are enforced at all costs in order to maintain domination and unequal outcomes in: employment, income, wealth, housing, education, health care and the criminal justice system.

Throughout, the Handbook ‘historicises’ ‘race’ and racism, explaining them as a product of continuing historical events. It does this so that current ‘racist incidents’ are profoundly understood as part of a ‘stream’ – a turbulent flowing river of concomitant events, pushing upstream through struggle and resistance.

Wrongly Convicted

Above we have the image of George Stinney. He was an African American boy who at the age of 14 was convicted, in a proceeding later vacated as an unfair trial in 2014, of murdering two white girls, Betty June Binnicker, age 11, and Mary Emma Thames, age 7, in his hometown. He was executed by electric chair June 1944.
