Because of the way certain words are used, that usage has contributed to the continued enslavement of all non-white people. One method to be considered in bringing an end to the global system white supremacy/racism and replacing it with the global system of justice and peace is to take control of the language of white supremacy/racism and make it work for you (compensate) and not against you. (counter-racist logic).
The word dark and it’s usage is but one example.
You are taught that there is something wrong with you because you are a black/non-white person and then the global system of white supremacy/racism makes every thing dark worthless, evil…etc.
You are being mistreated on account of what the creator made.
White children, in the same class room, are subtly taught how to be a white supremacist/racist and black/non-white children are taught to be victims of the global system of white supremacy/racism.
White supremacy/racism is the highest form of insanity…it makes no sense.
