It all makes sense now: the Washington Post published a 3,000-word fake hitpiece against me because they really want to defend race essentialism and "White racial identity."

I'm fighting against race supremacy; the Washington Post wants to install it everywhere.

The game is that they want to create an essentialized racial category ("whiteness"), load it with negative connotations, then impose it on individuals through guilt, shame, and school indoctrination.

This approach is reductive, manipulative, and malicious. Don't fall for it.

The way out of this Kafka trap is to reject the framework of race essentialism, refuse to allow your enemies to impose a hostile identity onto you, and define yourself as an individual with a specific heritage that is meaningful to you.

Americans of different racial backgrounds can build on a shared culture.

I have more in common with a black American than I do with a Finnish fisherman; and a black American has more in common with me than with a Congolese farmer.

Let's unite around that shared experience.

Finally, don't let institutions like the Washington Post manufacture racism, divide us from one another, and tear this country apart.

The elites want to move us into racial retrograde. It's up to us to fight back, build a shared culture, and unite around a common purpose. 🇺🇸
