the people who practice racism do so to give themselves “divine” powers of whiteness. whiteness is magic that makes them superior and untouchable; but more importantly, it makes them native but NOT INDIGENOUS, with a soul but NOT BLACK.
this has never been more clear than with the propaganda before, during and after the Spanish-American. this particular cartoon from then popular Puck magazine comes to mind.
it not only racializes but INFANTILIZES the Others…
