You've posted memes without context..... and I've explained several times how utilizing race science to fight racism is counter productive.
I've said in every response that we shouldn't ignore the realities of the what the concept of race has birthed. My explicit complaint has been people utilizing the same concept in an attempt to confront it. It doesn't work, it just perpetuates it. There are more ways to confront racism than participating and perpetuating the belief of racial science.
Ahh yes, explain systemic racism to a minority...... Check. Okay now explain how utilizing the belief structure that made and continues to allow systemic racism to exist = confronting racism?
When you try and calm a room in hysteria, do you do it by screaming? When you want to get someone to stop cursing, do you do it by calling them a fuck wit? What leads you to believe engaging in racism confronts racism? To me it just seems like you're just participating in a cathartic exercise that does nothing but sooth your own sense of ease, while in reality your just yelling at a room full of people screaming.
I'm a fucking socialist you twat. And I'm not above the consequences of the concept of race, I deal with them daily. What I'm above is being labeled as a pigment instead of being acknowledged as a human being. I guess being labeled as a shade on the color wheel doesn't bite so hard when you benefit from it, I wouldn't know.
Again, you ignorant fuck. I'm not white, I'm not a moderate. I am a middle aged man of color who grew up in the Dixie south. I'm a socialist, and have been organizing mutual aid groups for longer than you've probably been alive.
Just because I don't appreciate being dehumanized by system of organization that you love so much, doesn't mean I'm a white liberal. Maybe next time work on your reading comprehension before you try and pull your white saviour routine again.
