Sylvester Lavell Pollard :
I Compares racism and white supremacy patriarchal systems to a parasite or viruses, because it highlights how it acts as a harmful, infectious force that spreads through society, feeding on ignorance and white fear to weaken collective health. Like a parasite, it drains resources and equity from specific groups while infecting the social fabric, often requiring active, intentional "immunity" to eradicateInfectious Spread: Racism, like a virus, spreads through cultural transmission, language, and learned behavior from person to person, often invisible until symptoms (discrimination or violence) appear.Systemic Damage: Similar to a parasite, racism exploits and drains resources (economic, educational, social) from marginalized groups to benefit the dominant group, weakening the overall organism (society).Treatment: Eradicating it requires systemic, targeted "treatment" rather than just ignoring it, similar to curing a disease.
