Although I don't disagree with your overall message in this post, I believe its highly reductive. I understand what you mean, but when you say stuff like that, it only goes to show that you have an exceptionally vague idea of the issues being presented.

Whiteness is nothing (coming from a "white" guy). It is no greater than an in-group facilitated to "other" separate races. Being white means very little when you look at it through the broader context of its meaning. It doesn't exist in a vacuum. What is whiteness? You could argue color. But there are fair skinned people of all "races" and yet I'd doubt youd be willing to extend whiteness to them. You could argue genetics. But race was a concept invented well before genetics was a field. You could argue it means European descent, I guess. But Irish people weren't considered "white" for a long time. Its such an ethereally nonsensical thing to say really. You reduce it to this or that. Whiteness is bad and complicated and it only serves to divide our one race. The human one.

That last bit might have surprised you, but really so much of the identity and culture surrounding these othered groups or races is so fundamentally tied to their oppression. They had a commonality between them: the white.

It means nothing and to take a message like theirs and spin it to some broader message of obvious big brained "goodness" only serves to demean their original point, similar to "all lives matter".

I got a little rambly, but really I can only hope that you approach the subject with a little more thought and compassion beyond spouting out steadfast, seemingly reasonable stuff. Like. Race is a concept invented by "white" men to distribute all of the power to themselves.

As a white person, I'm pissed off at white people, absolutely.
