Why this word is great

ANTIBLACKISM — [Noun] The specific doctrine, sentiment, and structural practice of hostility or systemic discrimination directed against Black people. From the prefix anti- ("against") combined with black, referring to people of African descent, and the suffix -ism ("doctrine, system, or practice"). Unlike racism—a broad genus of prejudice against any race—or xenophobia—a fear of the foreign which may bypass phenotype for cultural disdain—antiblackism names the particular, historical engine of a singular dehumanization. It is the cold calculus of the slave ship’s manifest, the cartographic contempt of a redlined map, and the silent, algorithmic amplification of a stereotype—a world-building force that converts pigment into a permanent condition, the world's oldest and most meticulously maintained form of social entropy.

noun
