One of the axioms of the Left is that America was created by “White racists” (a redundant term for the Left), and that this “regime” must be overthrown. Apparently the types of White people who exist in this “regime” can only range from “White Supremacist” to “White Traitor” and “White Abolitionist”, the later of which involves “[c]hanging institutions, dismantling whiteness, and not allowing whiteness to reassert itself.”
This is the standard manichean view of the Left: You are either on the side of the “oppressor”, or you are dedicated to smashing said “oppressor”.
Even “White Supremacist” as they describe it is nothing more than someone who values Western Civilization and that civic heritage that is the basis for America, regardless of race, rather than someone who believes that non-Whites are genetically inferior to the “Aryan” race.
But this is the what Progressive thought boils down to: White people can either admit their own original sin of “Whiteness” and destroy this “Whiteness” and thereby oneself, or be an evil oppressor who will be destroyed. Either which way, four legs non-Whites good; two legs Whites bad.
Yes persons of palour are all being Kafkatrapped…
conflating the social construct of “whiteness” with the well-being and personhood of light-skinned human beings in order to extrapolate a threat to light-skinned human beings is absurd. nobody is suggesting harming human beings, just the institutional definitions that grant unearned privilege some over others for their lack of melanin.
“white” is not a national, cultural, or spiritual descriptor, it’s a colonial, sociopolitical identity to justify invasion, subjugation, and commodification of nonwhite bodies.
tl;dr: if you believe racism isn’t real, you won’t even notice the shift into a post-racial society, so stop complaining about threats to your precious whiteness.
Yet this is what the Left does. Since all White people (light skinned East Asians being excluded) benefit from this evil miasma of “Whiteness”, they are all guilty of benefiting from it and thus necessarily being racist. In effect, they are declared evil due to their genetics.
Further, this entire concept of “unearned privilege” is a conspiratorial one whereby this Kyriarchical conspiracy exists to oppress people to gain power, and that this conspiracy can only be done by these eeevil White people.
The idea of “White” is indeed a construct, that is today rooted in the late 19th century racial classifications of the Progressives, and fully embraced by the modern Left. And it is the Left that pushed racial division and inequality to gain their own power and privilege over others.
