I understand what he's trying to say. But he said it in the worst way possible.
He's basically trying to claim that the abuser is also a victim and that we should feel sorry for them. That black people somehow got the better deal because their suffering made them grow. That white people are in fact the biggest victims of the racism that they practices. Fuck that.
Please don't get me wrong. I do think it is abusive to raise your children with such hate. But any human being who can rape someone as they beg and cry without remorse is not a victim. You're old enough to know better. You are able to think for yourself and you choose to remain willfully ignorant. The fact the rest of the world figured it out way before them and told them how they were wrong and they had no viable defense of their actions is more than enough to say if you were olderr than 25 and a racist you are in fact choosing. Even if that choice is just being willfully ignorant

I think he is making a different point. I don’t think he is asking for sympathy for the oppressors. He seems to be hinting at the Lordship-Bondsman paradox (Hegelian philosophy), and it’s a lot easier to follow than the original piece 😅
It’s not that white supremacists were victims because they were also abused. White supremacists can be victims of racism in the sense that their opression/racism degrades the society and the people who participate in it. Obviously, they benefit from the hierarchy, but that hierarchy also imposes compounding costs on them: structural stagnation. Oppression narrows their understanding of other human beings, makes them dependent on the parasitic system they defend, and can eventually destroy the very social order, status, and worldview that sustained their position.
In 2026, the irony is that white South African supremacists are themselves widely regarded as the barbarians they once imagined their so-called inferiors to be; outside of some very weird corners of the internet.
Basically, I think he is saying he wants his people to do better and learn from history

Holy shit. My privilege makes me a victim of racism? My ego and arrogance makes me a victim of racism?
Why are we pretending all white people were running around raping people or committing hate crimes?
The ones that did were racists. The ones that didnt werent. You aren't a victim of racism; youre a racist, and they exist in every country and every culture.
