One of the problems of human rights movements these days is that they assume that all white people are inherently racist and should apologise and atone for any misdeeds of past generations. This in itself is racist, and ignores the fact that racism occurs amongst all peoples. Racism can be found in all countries, in Africa, the Middle East and Asia, not only in Europe and America. This is well documented. As an example, people solely blame Europeans and Americans in the slave trade of the 19th century, while ignoring the participation of Africans and Arabs, which was well documented at the time (for example see Richard Burton, The Lake Regions of Africa, Longman, Green, Longman and Roberts 1860). The “anti-racist” movements of today promote racism, for example the antisemitism in the BLM movement. You cannot fight racism with more racism. You can only fight racism by seeking truth and understanding, which requires a knowledge of history. Illustration: David Roberts, In the slave market at Cairo, 1848
