you’ve decided to overlook a very important part in my statement. white people who have adopted whiteness. whiteness as an ideology has no respect for blackness. that is a historical fact. across the world, white people who have adopted whiteness have belittled, raped, plundered and even murdered people of color. “whiteness” isn’t “i was born white” or “i’m a white boy, girl, man or woman. whiteness is a way of viewing yourself, the world, your relationship to the world and the resulting cultural norms, ideas, policies and actions that come out of that. as such whiteness hold no regard or respect for blackness and the vast vast vast VAST majority of white people have adopted whiteness. worse still, whiteness as an ideology is something adopted by even NON-white people as well including black people (see stacey dash, don lemon). it is something that can also be rejected as well as adopted and no truly anti-racist fails to reject whiteness.
this is what whiteness does to black people
WHITENESS WON’T GIVE BLACK KIDS IN NEED OF PAIN MEDICATION THE AMOUNT NEEDED BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE BLACK PEOPLE CAN JUST HANDLE PAIN!!

Now none of this has anything to do with self love. This has everything to do with the reality that one can not be pro-black WITHOUT being anti-white because ^THIS^ is whiteness.
I have never met a white person who was TRULY anti-racist who didn’t denounce whiteness. not one.
I would suggest the following readings:
The Heart of Whiteness: Confronting Race, Racism and White Privilege
The Possessive Investment in Whiteness
Making Whiteness: The Culture of Segregation in the South
