Glad there are people who understand that
here is why this is NOT true. white people are MARRIED to the racial construct that is “whiteness.” not flirting, not dating, not texting, not sexting, not engaged to.. married. long term. and as such they make decision in favor of their race out of motivation to see their race succeed. they’ve built an entire country on the premise of giving white people a leg up on everyone even if it meant the use of brutal force in additional to lies, half truths and etc. this is the very basis of whiteness upon which white people of built their idea of self. you CAN NOT be pro-black without being anti-white because pro-blackness calls for the destruction of white supremacy and white privilege which undergirds whiteness and white identity. it’s like stokely carmichael said “for racism to die, a totally different america must be born. this is what the white society does not wish to face; this is why that society prefers to talk about integration. but integration speaks not at all to the problem of poverty, only to the problem of blackness. integration today means the man who ‘makes it,’ leaving his black brothers behind in the ghetto as fast as his new sports car will take him. it has no relevance to the harlem wino or to the cotton-picker making three dollars a day…. integration, moreover, speaks to the problem of blackness in a despicable way. as a goal, it has been based on complete acceptance of the fact that in order to have a decent house or education, blacks must move into a white neighborhood or send their children to a white school. this reinforces, among both black and white, the idea that ‘white’ is automatically better and ‘black’ is by definition inferior.”
there’s a reason why whenever black people talk about racism, white supremacy, white privilege, white ignorance, white inaction and etc, white people overall lose their shit. the reason is because white people have built their entire sense of self on whiteness which is built on lies and oppression. to be pro-black is to be anti-white. as long as white people define themselves in any way shape or form with whiteness as a social construct, pro-blackness will ALWAYS be ANTI-WHITE. always.
and bullshit like this just makes wonder why? is still about being in white people’s good graces? why? after EVERYTHING white people have done and continue to do to black people, why the flying fuck do you care of your pro-blackness is anti-white? this is some fuckery to still care what your slavemaster still thinks about you and your movement to gain your freedom. reminds me again of what stokely carmichael said “black power can be clearly defined for those who do not attach the fears of white america to their questions about it.“
you think such nonsensical thinking is going to stop white oppression? white people see racism as a zero sum game! and millennials? millennials are just as racist as their parents!
and please, miss me with the “not all white people” nonsense.
I like how OP’S message was positive and actually seems like it came from the concept of equality but then….this person chimes in and reminds me of everything wrong with this movement’s members and why I don’t care to associate with it. Good job. -Billy
As an educated black guy sadly I somewhat have to agree If you want an example of how the second person’s rant is true my step mom who is very successful knows a lot of white people but doesn’t associate with a lot of black people and when she was naming my little sister she named her “Madison” instead of a “ghetto name” in fear that when would not get a respectable job simply on her name. *Sigh* Really this mindset is made because in a way it is the only way black people will have any way of getting ahead even if it means stepping over the one who can’t
your mom had to be conscious of how white people would treat your sister because white people who have adopted whiteness (which is the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY) aren’t going to call back your sister if she submits a resume with a black sounding name. that’s white people because that’s whiteness. you can not be pro-black without being anti-white because these are the social norms and constructs that white people not only have created but continue to perpetuate till this day.
as someone with hiring power, i go out of my way to look for black people to hire because i know that my hr department filled with WHITE PEOPLE aren’t going to give tyrone, laquisha, malik, kenyatta or kiesha a fucking chance no matter how talented they are. why? because white people have been programmed by whiteness to see black people as inferior. to fight against that will bring head on with white people and whiteness.
however let’s be real. there’s no changing a group of people who can’t even admit that enjoy privilege in this society, can never admit or do right by natives, made a holiday celebrating a man who discovered nothing but killed and enslaved thousands (if not millions), etched into the side of a mountain racists and slave owners, turned “monday” into a slur, responds to any highlighting of their own criminality with “what about black on black crime tho?,” and made it a point to silence black people responding to a history of brutal racist policing with “all lives matter.” hell white people are powering the push the presidency of a man who has been so over the top with his racism, it feels like a throwback to the 60s and 70s when white people running for office would say shit like “elect me and i’ll make sure no nigger…” so no, this post isn’t for white people. i expect them to come up with all types of excuses. truth is not a part of their culture. it’s for black people to wake up and stop worrying about white people and whether or not they think the black movement for our liberation is “anti-white.” fuck’em. we owe them NOTHING. and guess what, it’s going to get anti-white because nothing about whiteness respects blackness. so stop trying to please them.
lastly, if you’re pro-black and you don’t make white people nervous…
I fux with @alwaysbewoke forever for breaking this reality down to its most essential. In a country founded upon white supremacy being pro-Black IS being “anti-white."
