    “white America” is another description for white supremacy in the US. What you’re recommending is to dismantle systems of oppression without dismantling white supremacy. I hope you can see how that’s a problem without me explaining it.

      Then say the problem is White supremacy. Saying the problem is White America sounds far too much like saying the problem is White Americans, especially to someone who’s not educated on racial issues in the same way you are.

        Let’s go back to that MLK quote then.

        shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.

          Uh… do you wanna elaborate on what you mean there? Because what I’m inferring seems kinda bad and I don’t wanna put words in your mouth.

      “white America” is another description for white supremacy in the US.

      Only among people who desperately need to touch grass

      You’re apparently under the delusion that all White Americans are White supremacists, which—as I said to the other respondent—simply means you’re racist.

      I’m always amazed anti-White racists can’t work out they’re making the same mistakes every other racist is making. You’ve actually deluded yourselves into thinking you can’t be racist against White people. How you fail to grasp such a simple concept as judging an entire group of people based on their skin color, while simultaneously claiming you understand it better than anyone else is beyond me.
