You’re getting down voted but where’s the lie? Any white guy keeping his head down is complicit at this point. History will not be kind to the craven cowards of this decade.
Well, as a white guy with autism that is just mild enough that it isn’t apparent when people first interact with me my entire existence is basically trying to figure out where all the invisible traps are. To an outside observer it would very much appear like I’m keeping my head down and being complicit, and yet I often find myself identifying most with people in marginalized groups because of their experiences, how they feel, and how they are treated. I have no qualms standing up for someone when I can, but it’s rare that anyone ever stands up for me because I’m just another white guy despite the fact that I’m usually confused and barely keeping my head above water on the inside.
Because grouping an entire race of people under one umbrella-like view is racist.
Easy way to tell is just sub the race mentioned for another race. “I will never trust a black man from now until the day I die.” Does that sound OK to you?
I’m trying to give the benefit of a doubt to Liberal white men but you gotta look at it from my perspective as a black man here. Look at every fucked up action that’s been done in the last couple of years. And who provided the majority of support for Trump.
Whiteness has directly been used as an oppressive force on a global scale for as long as been an identifiable thing. You can’t say the same about any other color or race.
As long as people in large numbers are actively unifying behind the flag of whiteness and using it to dominate others, I think it’s acceptable to prejudge members of that group.
This is why decent white people should be doing everything they can’t to stop this use of whiteness.
I’m trans, if a large percentage of trans people were unifying behind and using transness to consolidate power to dominate and exploit cis people (in a make believe world where there’s enough trans people to do this), I’d expect cis people to have an inherent distrust of trans people.
Not trying to argue the degree of oppression which whiteness has caused across the globe and through time. White men specifically are the goats of oppression, no doubt. I’m not trying to defend them or anything like that.
But grouping a… “class” of people, white, black, man, woman, American, gay, short, overweight, idk pick a characteristic, is just not right.

White women. That is the majority of Trump’s base.
