From Son of Baldwin; more on this from me later:

The French, like the Americans, never believe that they are racist. They believe that they are above it or that they have evolved beyond it. Or that they were never racist from the start.

No matter the position, no matter the act, they believe that if they have a “justification” for whatever it is they wish to say or do to Black people–whether economic, political, social, or medical–then it isn’t racism; it’s “pragmatism.”

They never understand that no matter how “logical” they believe their point of view is, its starting position, its core, its shape, its tenor, and its taint is anti-Blackness. And there is no “objectivity” or “innocence” to be found. ANYWHERE.

Whether British or American, Spanish or Portuguese, Italian or Irish, Belgian or French, and so on and so on, all peoples (yes, ALL!) who think of themselves as white–and believe that “white” is the synonym for “godliness,” which is another way of saying people who think of themselves as the only truly living beings on Earth, if not through word then certainly through deed, even when deed contradicts word–are an inherent danger to Black peoples.

Enslavement wasn’t enough.
The Congolese Genocide wasn’t enough.
Henrietta Lacks wasn’t enough.
The Tuskegee experiments weren’t enough.
The Southern sterilizations weren’t enough.
The cobalt mines weren’t enough.
Global colonization wasn’t enough.
None of the unlisted atrocities will ever be enough.

Parasitic leeches, who have no identity except through insatiability and theft, will always, always want more blood.

Behold:

“Two French doctors have been accused of racism for suggesting that a potential vaccine for coronavirus should first be tested on people in Africa.

The comments were made on the French television channel, LCI, during a discussion on Wednesday about COVID-19 trials set to be launched in Europe and Australia to see if the BCG tuberculosis vaccine could be used to treat the virus.”

They wanted to use Africans as test dummies with the understanding that Africa was in most need of vaccination against the virus, but, in fact, Africa is not more in need than France is itself. These doctors re-wrote reality to fit their racist conception of it. We are told that science is neutral. Perhaps. But clearly, scientists are not.

Do you now understand Black people’s distrust of European “medicine”?

We are not your cadavers.
