Now 155 years after the Civil War we're having a reckoning.
One about the random unpunished murder of Black people by White people,...usually cops, but not always. Seems whites have just decided that this might be wrong,...not really sure, but now they're thinking about it.
"The goal of abolishing the white race is on its face so desirable that some may find it hard to believe that it could incur any opposition other than from committed white supremacists... Keep bashing the dead white males, and the live ones, and the females too, until the social construct known as 'the white race' is destroyed - not 'deconstructed' but destroyed."
Noel Ignatiev,
“Whiteness is not a culture. There is Irish culture and Italian culture and American culture - the latter, as Albert Murray pointed out, a mixture of the Yankee, the Indian, and the Negro (with a pinch of ethnic salt); there is youth culture and drug culture and queer culture; but there is no such thing as white culture.
Whiteness has nothing to do with culture and everything to do with social position. It is nothing but a reflection of privilege, and exists for no reason other than to defend it.
Without the privileges attached to it, the white race would not exist, and the white skin would have no more social significance than big feet.”

Good points.
However I don't want them outright "Destroyed". I mean some of them are cute.

Don't leave out Susan Sontag's comment on the fucking "white race":
ReplyDelete"The white race is the cancer of human history; it is the white race and it alone — its ideologies and inventions — which eradicates autonomous civilizations wherever it spreads, which has upset the ecological balance of the planet, which now threatens the very existence of life itself."
To which I add "Amen". OK, OK, we can save the cute ones!
Good,...I have a list.
