2) We've learned that westerners and their racist double standards along  with their imperialist and colonialist terrorist attitudes still exist  for Black and Brown peoples around the world, but not for blue-eyed and  blonde-haired Europeans.  

3) We've learned that the western media also possesses this same racist  double standard along with their imperialist and colonialist terrorist  attitudes for Black and Brown peoples around the world.  

4) We've learned that even the Ukrainians who were fleeing their own  country, prevented others, specifically, African immigrants, from doing  the same due to Euro racist and disparate treatment.  

5) We've learned that the US has spent nearly $80 billion of taxpayer  money supporting Ukraine, militarily, financially and in terms of  humanitarian aid, but has provided Black and Brown nations with none of  these aid packages when confronted by a colonialist or imperialist  country.
