Finished Stamped from the Beginning, which was a comprehensive history of racism in america. Taught me some stuff even i, the one true leftist, didn't know. The main one being that racism as an excuse for xenophobia has been around forever. The ancient fucking greeks were like "those africans, too dark. it means their climate baked their brains and skin. The northern barbarians with their weak pale snow skin? Also disgusting. No, what's perfect and superior is MY greek skin tone which is between dark and light and is therefore the best and most natural."

Yeah, these motherfuckers literally had some weird form of enlightened centrism climate theory as their justification for why their skin tone made them superior. what the fuck. And i thought phrenology was the most absurd race "science"

Now reading our fav Rosa Luxemburg, it's good stuff
