Reading (Isabel Wilkerson) about #antivax outrage in the 1721 Boston smallpox outbreak - "variolation" actually was stolen from an enslaved man, Onesimus, by Cotton Mather. Racism as a tool of caste manifested as antivaxxing. How much does #racism & #caste factor into current antivaxxing?

UNLESS THEY ARE from the dalit classes [so called #black untouchables ] or one of the less #inbred castes who support the liberation of all, how dangerous is the participation of Indian ''upper #caste ? LOL'' ancestry #politicians in anti #racism fights?

Reading this book - and implementing findings from it into daily practice - will see you become hated. Much like standing up for kids in Gaza gets you. I thoroughly recommend it.

Book cover of Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson

When I picked up Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson, I knew it would be a heavy read, but I wasn't expecting it to be so crushing. Some parts were truly hard to stomach. I think I need to stick to fiction for a while now.

Enjoying a day off with some Starbucks and some coffee shop ambience. I am continuing Caste, which is so thought provoking.

What are you reading? Do you have a favorite drink with you when you read? If so what is it? My favorite is an iced shaken espresso.

A caste system is an artificial construction, a fixed and embedded ranking of human value that sets the presumed supremacy of one group against the presumed inferiority of other groups on the basis of ancestry and often immutable traits, traits that would be neutral in the abstract but are ascribed life-and-death meaning in a hierarchy favoring the dominant caste whose forebears designed it. 

A caste system uses rigid, often arbitrary boundaries to keep the ranked groupings apart, distinct from one another and in their as-signed places.

Caste can be seen as a universal form of human division that could be applied to many hierarchies in the world, but, through-out human history, across time and space, three caste systems have stood out to this day.

It is about power, which groups have it worthy of them and which are not, who gets to acquire and control them and who does not. 

It is about respect, authority, and assumptions of competence who is accorded these and who is not.

As a means of assigning value to entire swaths of humankind. caste guides each of us often beyond the reaches of our awareness. 

It embeds into our bones an unconscious ranking of human characteristics and sets forth the rules, expectations, and stereotypes that have been used to justify brutalities against entire groups within our species. 

In the American caste system, the signal of rank is what we call race, the division of humans on the basis of their appearance. 

In America, race is the primary tool.

That's the #Caste game and it's definitely what every decision thusfar is embedding in painfully plain sight.

Cis superiority rules so far.

This one especially gross.

The #Nazis admired and studied America’s #JimCrow laws. This is yet another reason why comparing #ICE to the #Gestapo is off-base. It fails to recognize that #America was classifying, marginalizing, and terrorizing her own people on the basis of #caste long before Nazi Germany came along
