The drama around the new movie and the lead being Black and how crackers are crying over it has convinced me that rhe dissolution of white America, and all manner of Indigenous and Black and marginalized nationalisms are legitimate.
Reparations are legitimate. Black and Indigenous independent capital are legitimate. Black and Indigenous socialism is legitimate. Land Back is legitimate. Total defeat of white armies is legitimate. Expulsion of white people back to Europe and being excommunicated from the western hemisphere is legitimate.
The only thing whiteness understands is conflict and domination. whites deserve ZERO ACCESS to any form of land or resource or labor that involves any Indigenous or nonwhite effort.
I dont think anyone can convince me that white people want peace. The abused should be able to evict their abusers.
I cant stand it. whiteness is just insanity. Antisocial, desperately hateful madness. Its only defining characteristics is just what it supposedly isnt and what it is opposed to. A means of defining an enemy. That is all whiteness is. A retreat from humanity and a search for an enemy. Because if it didnt have an adversary, whiteness would have no concrete meaning.
If ANY self determination movement or anticolonial movenent has the ability to expel their exploiters and colonizers, not only should they, but they are obliged. And no. white people dont get a chance to understand it if and when it happens.
So basically, whiteness is an ideology that’s different from being a “white” ethnicity? I’ve always been confused on the difference between whiteness and white people or whatever.
yeah, i think that’s mostly right. “white” ethnicity is basically just european ethnicity within a settler-colonial context, but then for those who are separated from their european heritage through generations of settler-colonialism then “whiteness” becomes white peoples’ identification and self-identified ethnicity. this is why things like “nerd” culture are so often identified with whiteness, because they essentially serve as a shared mythology and perceived ethnicity that can replace a loss of european roots.
after all, why are black people african-american, but white people are never referred to as european-american? if there had never been european colonialism, none of the different ethnicities in europe would be grouped up and defined as “white” they would just be what they are: poles, czechs, russians, french, germans, etc.
i’m not like some expert or something, but while ethnicity and race are both products of time, race is a division of people into classes based on extraterritorial subjugation, whereas ethnicity is simply shared culture and how living in certain conditions and in certain places can affect a group of people in the same way over long amounts of time.
