L’antiracisme systémique, en 279 exemples

Le 25 mai 2020, l’Afro-Américain George Floyd meurt suite à une interpellation, où il est maintenu couché au sol pendant plusieurs minutes, avec le genou d’un policier blanc, Derek Chauvin, sur la nuque, qui l’empêchait de respirer. 

Considérant qu’il s’agissait là d’une preuve manifeste du prétendu racisme systémique provoquant des violences policières à l’égard des populations noires, le mouvement Black Lives Matter s’est mis en branle et des émeutes violentes ont eu lieu, à Minneapolis en particulier, mais dans tout le pays, et même dans les grandes villes occidentales. En quelques jours, ces émeutes ont fait bien plus de morts que l’événement initial, puisqu’on en comptabilise 22, et près de 11000 personnes ont été arrêtées dans tous les Etats-Unis.

 En parallèle des émeutes, toute la rhétorique “Black Lives Matter” s’impose pendant plusieurs semaines dans les médias Occidentaux, dans une sorte d’hystérie collective. “Privilège blanc”, “raciste systémique”, “suprématie blanche”, tous ces concepts erronés sont répétés en boucle sur les réseaux sociaux et dans les médias, prouvant par là même leur inadéquation avec le réel.

 En effet, à l’heure où l’immense majorité des puissances médiatiques, financières et culturelles des Etats-Unis (et de tous les pays Occidentaux) se positionnent contre le racisme et dénoncent le prétendu privilège blanc, comment ce même concept de privilège blanc peut-il être pertinent ?

Ce n’est pas le racisme qui est systémique, mais précisément l’anti-racisme. Pour prouver que “le système” est anti-raciste, je vais vous présenter une liste de toutes les plus grandes entreprises qui se sont positionnées pour le mouvement Black Lives Matter au cours des émeutes de Minneapolis.

 Au moment même où leurs vitrines étaient vandalisées, et leurs magasins pillés, malgré le chaos, la destruction, et les morts, des centaines d’entreprises et de marques “éveillées au cosmopolitisme” ont apporté leur soutien à Black Lives Matters, et par là même aux terroristes antifa et aux émeutiers criminels également.

La prochaine fois que quelqu’un prétendra que les Etats-Unis ou n’importe quel pays blanc occidental est un pays de suprématie blanche, où le racisme est institutionnalisé, présentez-lui cette liste des plus grandes entreprises du monde. Si les grandes firmes considèrent que soutenir les émeutiers et les pillards violents est bon pour leurs résultats financiers, alors cela signifie que votre cause, l’antiracisme, n’est pas opprimée.

Voici en image un petit échantillon de l’antiracisme des plus grandes multinationales :

Pour éviter que la liste ne soit trop longue, une seule déclaration par entreprise est incluse. Beaucoup de ces entreprises ont publié de multiples déclarations de soutien à l’insurrection à travers le pays, certaines se battant même dans la section des commentaires avec des fans, mais c’est suffisamment accablant comme cela.

J’ai repris cette liste d’un article de l’excellent Emil Kirkegaard, qui ne faisait que reprendre un article (censuré par Medium) d’Ashley Rae Groypenberg.

A noter : Un certain nombre de déclarations listées ne sont que des déclarations génériques affirmant que “le racisme est mal”. C’est vrai. Cependant, ces entreprises ne feraient aucune déclaration publique sur le racisme, et surtout aucune déclaration publique déclarant “Black Lives Matter”, s’il n’y avait pas aux mêmes moments de violentes émeutes partout dans le monde. Le moment choisi n’est pas une simple coïncidence. Par conséquent, lorsque ces entreprises ont affiché qu’elles étaient solidaires avec la communauté noire, cela signifiait effectivement qu’elles étaient solidaires des manifestations et émeutes.
