When a dominator - victor, spoils taker - has a narrative that goes on forever and is perpetuated for centuries, it becomes so convincing that without being challenged it is taken as the absolute truth. It's Not Racism, It's Hatred, Hatred of a Different Skin Colour: A Meta-Analysis of the Root Cause of Racialized Oppression sets out to debunk one such fallacy of a taxonomic hierarchy set in place by describing people as from different 'human races.' This lie is laid bare using a tried and tested pastoral psychology approach of listening to the meta-narratives in humanity itself and bolstering that with meta-narratives of the divine. One does not have to search very far but just to appeal to one's own humanity and listen to the anguish, and utterances of those directly affected by this races theory lie. Difference in skin colour can be quite jarring and that is what human-designed systems of inequity utilizes. There indeed is so much in the narratives of those who have been affected by the modus operandi of such systems that, over the years, the oppression and the senseless killing carried out to sustain these systems have automatically led rational consciences to question this 'human races' fallacy. This book is here to tell that those rational consciences' misgivings are not unfounded. This book then does a psychosocial analysis of all those senseless killings of those with black and brown bodies, ground zero of the book's thesis, and comes out with some interesting pastoral recommendations and conclusions.
