i used to be an antiracism trainer for a progressive organization a few years ago. i was really really good at.
this year i finally realized after a lot of soul searching that teaching white folks how to be good allies is not helpful to anyone.
…
its like us giving white folks all the correct rhetoric just allows for them to be able to better racists, because they are able to justify their racism using anti-racist rhetoric.
in that they are able to say things like: i realize that such and such is a function of racism and then they continue to do the same fucking thing that they just acknowledged was racist.

I never realized how proud I am to be white until recently. People say all races are equal and that skin color makes no difference. The number one thing wrong with this country is liberal whites and blacks…[deleted for craziness]…I cannot say nearly all the things I would like to say for the fear of getting arrested. But how can an immigrant run this country when every other country with a non white or asian leader in this world still eat people [??] and do not have running water?? Deporting is the only chance we have left…[Yes, deporting the white people is the only chance Native Americans have left]]
