".. the N word .."

Dear Kenoli,

which N-word can you not write or speak? I grew up in Germany, my socialization started with Kant, Marx, Engels, Einstein, C.G.Jung, Fromm and others. But even in Germany there is no such thing or I myself never experienced this.

What happens with you in the USA that you have such thinking and speaking barriers.

with kind regards, willi

Yes this is a great question.  Russia similarly invaded Afghanistan and parts 
of Syria.  We invaded Iraq and Grenada. Several groups tried to exterminate the 
Kurds and other groups in that region.  And more.  No one freaked out about the 
suffering of people in these countries and even drove refugees from there out 
of Europe and the United States.  These facts in the face of the way people are 
getting disturbed about Ukraine (I am also disturbed about Udraine but was 
similar disturbed about these other situations) and not about the suffering in 
these other countries is hugely concerning and speaks pretty directly to racist 
attitudes in Europe and the US.

England sent wave after wave of people to the Middle East during the crusades 
and slaughtered people until the blood flowed like water.

What can we make of all this?  It is outrageous and unthinkable. How can so 
many humans actually not care about people’s suffering depending on the color 
of their skin.

And blacks in this country being killed in routine police events and locked up 
wholesale.  And people up in arms about discussing the issue of race with our 
kids.  Racism causes so much suffering in our country.

This list started at Stanford and I don’t know what it’s relationship is now to 
Stanford, but I am involved in running a course at the Graduate school of 
business at Stanford and recently in a GSB dorm the N word was written on the 
walls near a room occupied by a black person and another where a white person 
had a relationship to a Black person.

Where does this come from.

I know that people of all colors do these things to people of all colors as 
well, but I am white and associate with people who are white who do these awful 
things.

It all brings me to tears.
