If it wasn't then why reference someone irrelevant to the convo and imply I'm white washed? There's no other reason to link that specific person.n
Whiteness is not about whitewashing. It has nothing to do with that. Whiteness is a status in white supremacy with benefits.
So you decided to reference someone that is completely irrelvant to the point and imply I'm wearing a white mask?
I'm telling you that there is a reflexion to have. And for this it's important to know what whiteness is. It's up to you to find rest of the responses, it's not my place to give a definite answer. After all, i'm white. I can only give you access to the knowledge. I won't cross certain limits. This is one.
But this knowledge is a necessity to make some people understand here why I evolved on this subject because I know now that the discourse i'm facing from a lot of racialized people in this thread is directly linked to whiteness :
Wther it's people trying to tell me that there are no systemic racism, people telling me that black can be racist too, people telling me that they are against the violence of black people, people of color telling me that Trump is actually helping black people or people of color attacking other marginalized people. It's linked to the same behavior : the pursuit of whiteness, a aftershock of colonialism. At least that's what materialist and anti racist are currently analysing as.
Again. It's important :
Whiteness is a status within white supremacy. At least that's how it was theorized.
It is obvious YOUR definitions are biased.
Sounds like dogma to me.
You are right. I'm nothing special and frankly, I don't want to be. But I know stuff, especially about radicalization and biases. The reason being that I experienced every aspect of them, I learned to understand them and to control them.

Listen..
You don't have to believe me, but someone wise would agree that in a world where the answers about the wonders of universe are often counter intuitive... taking the easy path of knowledge on the level of basic understanding when people are trying to tell you that what you know is actually much more complex .. is a dangerous life plan.
