Because whiteness and and being a “real American” are supposedly one and the same, one of the most foundational precepts of institutional white supremacy is that it’s dehumanizing crimes against POC must perpetually remain invisible to as many white people as possible, for absolutely as long as possible. For the

My point exactly!

Yes...what if they’re wrong” is indeed an overwhelmingly powerful (and ultimately inescapable) question.

Goin’ for the mic drop!

I’ve got a secret! I’ve got a secret!

Man, if you’d mixed in just a few additional words about the overall amount of continued racial segregation in America in the year 2021, along with the truth of this never having been an actual democracy for POC, there’d be white heads exploding all across America. Especially on the left.

The subtle payoff was supposed to be in the, “What?”, at the very end.

From the mouth of Baldwin himself.

“Black folks endlessly blaming and pointing fingers at white people for all the problems in their violent and racist culture is so irrational!

Wait until they begin to discover in just a few more years that the monster they unleashed 350 years ago, explicitly to devour black flesh, has been secretly gorging on the lives of white people by the tens of millions too since 1964. And is now statistically ruining even greater overall numbers of their own lives.

White people keep somehow being endlessly surprised, each and every time there’s a new video of the police killing another unarmed black person completely unnecessarily.

Every second of the last 350 years in America has been, without question, predicated on protecting a knowingly fraudulent thing called whiteness. (Proven by the founding fathers own writings in the Federalist Papers.) And by extension, the institutions of white supremacy built upon it. “By any means necessary!!!”

Does anyone else see the ridiculous level of irony that the trolls who are certain that “not everything is about race”, have nonetheless gone waaaaaay out their way, from their otherwise 99.9% segregated lives, to specifically seek out and inject ridiculously exaggerated and contrarian opinions, on a website that they

Here’s my thing.

This helps me to see where trump’s fascist “1984" ripoff was going to be headed for the next four years if he had succeeded:

By that sad excuse for reasoning, does that then make either Nat Turner or Frederick Douglass technically America’s first ever racist???

Harry Potter’s got nothing on you Michael. Somehow you wave your magic wand and five centuries of the racism behind the kidnapping, rape, torture and murder of tens of millions instantly shrivels to virtual invisibility. And the insanely disproportionate racism of Black folks magically becomes planet-sized.
