Go to Africa and you'll see the same thing from Black people while using white people as an excuse for looting the country through corruption and placing their own people in poverty.

It's power not skin color. I get it, it's uncomfortable seeing how people who look like us plundered the world and have caused untold suffering while propping up those of us who look similar. And I don't begrudge the oppressed the right to be angry at the whole of the privileged group. But as white people we don't help by hating white people, we help by working to right the wrongs that gave us this privilege and by striving for a fair, just, and equal society.
Why don’t we just hate all the races? Oh wait, corruption has very little to do with race and everything to do with capitalistic greed,
Sure, but at some point you have to take responsibility for your own actions. Blaming the past for current ruin and corruption is a tool of the corrupt.
yes that is mostly true but there are some places that have segregated and treated other fellow humans (even the same skin color)differently in a classism system. Rwanda is good example even before Germany or Belgium went there and made it worse.
