Listen, I rarely write “all.” However, Michael, it is imperative to understand that there is absolutely nothing positive about whiteness, white identity, and being white. Nothing. The status of being white is inherently, always, only, and totally racist. Race is a political status; a political category. It represents policies. Race is not a horizontal relation. Race is a white hierarchy. Calling oneself white is claiming purity, which is a claim to superiority. Whiteness, white identity, being white is a negation. Whiteness, white identity, being white is based on the subjugation of Black people. That is the only way white identity comes into being and remains. I think a good introduction to this is James Baldwin’s essay, “On Being White and Other Lies.” You can find it online; it’s short and free. I also recommend the book “The Abolition of White Democracy” by Joel Olson and “The Machinery of Whiteness” by Steve Martinot. The article “Whiteness as Property” by Cheryl Harris should also be on every reading list. It’s also online; it’s 85 pages, and it’s free. For a more historical understanding, see the book “The Invention of the White Race” by Theodore Allen. Pay close attention to what those writers say about whiteness based on its construction and reproduction. So, while there may be some “good whites,” there’s nothing good about being white. All whiteness is bad. Whatever goodness one has, whatever makes one exceptional, whatever is pleasant about a person, it doesn’t come from whiteness. Whiteness is an oppressive identity, and it can’t be anything but oppressive. People must be separated from white identity, and white identity must be abolished. I hope this has been helpful.
