It seems you lack an analytical mind.

To me by extension Adichie is saying all white men are racists owing to their role in slave trade.

Its like asking a judge to decide the case of his own mother in a court of law. You'll agree with me that it won't be free and fair trial as the case is already decided before court appearance.

Jews are also white people. Is she also saying that they don't have a say as regards racism? The jews that were almost obliterated if Hitler was not stopped. Racism is like AIDS if you are not infected, you affected. Using the word white people, black people, coloured people is racism in itself because it stereotypes people based on their skin colour. That's what Martin Luther Jnr fought against in his ; I have a dream speech.

In conclusion I wish to believe it was an emotional statement by her rather than a logical statement. Women are emotional beings. Op let's cut her some slacks, okay? Thanks people.


Then all blackmen are racists also, for selling their brothers into slavery.

I disagree on you calling one a racist for giving qualities and abilites to certain races.
Do you think all the races have equal qualities and abilites?
Sure they have.

I disagree . Yes the white people has a superior civillization far better than the other race but still that is not a point to say they are predominate in every area of life. We are humans and nobody is greater than the other
