Even when they seem to show empathy you can see it in their eyes... it's false

QuoteWhite people lack empathy for people of color. We know this from lived experience, but white people need study results to recognize the validity in claims like these. What is undoubtedly a significant part of this lack empathy for others is the centuries of white supremacist indoctrination and dominant positionality throughout colonial and postcolonial rule, and if the trauma from the terror experienced by our ancestors lives on in our DNA, can the desire to inflict that trauma or lack of empathy for those who experience that trauma live on in DNA, too?

QuoteThe ability to feel empathy is shaped by our genes, and empathy is pretty fucking important. It's what allows us to identify with others and register their suffering as something that should be alleviated, and that we should help to alleviate. Without empathy, there would be no advocacy for social justice and equality because we wouldn't see disparities and oppression as problems in the first place. While empathetic capacity is something that our genes help to determine, it is also true that empathy can be learned and cultivated. It is true that white people can recognize the unequal power structure of our society and choose to betray the white supremacy that protects them. They can make this decision to better, but the truth is that many of them simply will not. Many of them see the unequal power structure for what it is and work to strengthen it because they feel it's exactly how the world should operate.
