I will respond in brief. Typically, I respond to each line but I know that’s overwhelming. Most readers find this piece straightforward rather than speaking in tongues. “White supremacy” implies you can have white without supremacy, you can’t. White is a claim to purity. White is a negation of Blackness. White is a denial of Blackness — even it’s own blackness. White identity is built on Blackness, which is an active process right now. If someone claims whiteness today, it came at the expense of Blackness. All of those are ways to say “superior.” White identity itself, is not only inaccurate, but it’s also inhumane. These are political identities. They can come and go. They aren’t horizontal identities, they’re hierarchical. In the US, white identity, is a cross-class alliance tied to the ruling class. That white solidarity is a key problem. There are basically two schools of thought on this: You have antiracists and antiracist-abolitionists. The antiracist-abolitionist believes abolishing white identity is necessary. I am in that camp. Race is a form and function of colonization and I think whiteness is a form of bondage, it’s certainly a form of exploitation. Until whites despise being white, until whites see whiteness for what it is, no change is significant or sustainable. White is a status attached to skin color. The status has to go, and the skin color is not an entitlement. It can go too. So, I think it’s important for people to come to justice with an understanding of those terms. Anything less, creates a back and forth/gradualism/backlash/Obama/Trump. Three book recommendations: The Invention of the White Race, The Abolition of White Democracy, and The Machinery of Whiteness. Specifically, I think justice looks like reparations, the entire platform for the Movement for Black Lives, a new Constitution, and political power for Black people. Antiwhiteness is critical and humane.
