White People Worldwide

From One Who Carries the Weight of a History Not Chosen, But Inherited

This is not a letter written in anger—but in truth, and with hope.

I write to you as a Black person whose ancestry carries the trauma of enslavement, oppression, and systemic dehumanization. My lineage—like that of so many others—has been stripped of its land, labor, language, and life, not just by history, but by structures that remain in place today.

But this letter is not about blame. It is about responsibility—a word I ask you to hold closely as a child of GOD.

A History That Must Be Told

The story of Transatlantic Slave Trade, as it's typically taught, is incomplete. Slavery was not a footnote. It was a foundation. It was violent. It was intentional. It was profitable. And when it "ended," what followed was not freedom—it was sharecropping, lynching, segregation, redlining, and a new era of mass incarceration that continues to this day.

These truths are not just “Black history.” They are your history, too.

You must ensure this history is taught truthfully and without filters. Because without accountability, healing cannot begin.

What You Must Teach Your Children

I ask you—if you are raising white children—to teach them racial empathy. Racism is not born, it is learned through silence, complicity, and cultural inheritance. Your responsibility is to break the cycle.

• Speak honestly with your children about slavery, privilege, and power.

• Call out racist language, jokes, and myths—especially when it comes from those you love.

• Make it clear that your household stands for justice, even when it's inconvenient.

And let me say this as clearly as possible: White people are never permitted to say the word “Nigger,” “Niggah,” or any version of it. Not in jest, not in lyrics, not in quoting. The word was born in chains, baptized in blood, and continues to wound. Your “right” to say it does not exist.

This Is Not Just About Offense—It’s About Repair

I’m not asking you for pity. I’m asking for partnership in healing.

I ask you to:

• Support reparative policies that restore land, wealth, and justice.

• Credit and compensate Black contributions in art, science, labor, and thought.

• Back Black-owned businesses and Black-led institutions.

• Challenge systemic oppression at your job, school, and in government.

The harm done has names, dates, and legacies. Land was taken. Lives were taken. Inventions were stolen. Ideas were erased. The cost has never been paid—and no one can heal from a wound that is still open.

Why This Matters

We stand at a crossroads. If we continue to avoid truth, we invite destruction. The tension you feel in this world is not an uprising of hate—it is the echo of broken promises and stolen futures. I do not want war. I want reckoning. I want our children to live in a world that chooses courage over denial.

You cannot change the past, but you can choose NOT to repeat it. You can use your voice, your privilege, your power—not as a weapon of defense, but as a tool of restoration. It's time for self policing, in the privacy of your homes and communities where there have been lingering remnants of racist language and behavior.

Effective Immediately, there will be no more destruction of Black heritage and culture. No more removal of Black history from libraries, removal of names from buildings, or destruction of artifacts. Preserving the history, eliminates the rage building up from the injustice.

The time to fix it is now! Yesterday, would have been better.
