Why is there racism between races when the history says that we all originate from Africa?

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ Racism between races exists despite the historical fact that all humans originate from Africa due to a complex interplay of social, economic, political, and cultural factors that have evolved over time. ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ The development and perpetuation of racial ideologies ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ While it is true that modern humans (Homo sapiens) originated in Africa, the concept of race and the resulting racism are social constructs that have been shaped by historical events and processes. Throughout history, societies have created and maintained hierarchies based on perceived differences, including skin color, to justify unequal treatment and exploitation. For example, during the Age of Exploration and the subsequent colonization of the Americas, European powers developed racial ideologies to rationalize the enslavement and subjugation of African and Indigenous peoples. These ideologies were further entrenched through laws, scientific racism, and cultural narratives, leading to systemic racism that persists today. Thus, the historical origins of humanity do not negate the social and historical processes that have led to the development of racism. ⚹◊How has the concept of race been used historically to justify power dynamics and hierarchies⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
