to teach white people to be ‘antiracist’ is to teach white people to betray everything they’ve ever known about their very existence, the world order, and life itself; it is to antagonize everything that they are. therefore, you cannot ‘teach’ white people to be ‘antiracist.’
the ‘antiracist’ economy, lucrative as may be, is incapable of birthing white ‘antiracists’ because it refuses to grapple with the inherent racism of the rac(e/ialization) regime and whiteness itself. you cannot manufacture ‘solidarity’ on moral posturing.
white ppl cannot be ‘taught’ (rather, guilted) into antiracism—this is why the pornographic visualizations of black death has been largely ineffective. being ‘antiracist’ is a choice one must make through rigorous study of the history of race/whiteness/liberation movements, etc.
whiteness negates & degenerates community—and therefore, solidarity. “how to be an ally” infographics/books/panels stress performative & symbolic changes in behavior devoid of any critical analysis of whiteness as power—& ‘non-whiteness’ as slave, colonized, and dispossessed
there is not a society in which we can all live happily ever after while whiteness + the rac[e/ialization] regime remains in-tact. there’ll always be an antagonization and contradictions. understand power.
whiteness marks power & dominance. blackness marks slave & dispossessed.
whiteness marks power & dominance. blackness marks slave & dispossessed.
colonial social categorization is an hierarchal project.
the white & the black is in antagonization. the male & female are in antagonization. heterosexual & homosexual are in antagonization. the cis & trans... etc etc. get to the root of power, betray them, and build from there
