Dear Keyboard Warriors Obsessed With “White People” (ON BOTH SIDES OF THE SPECTRUM)…
Whether you’re a white supremacist or fighting against white supremacy, I have bad (or good, depending on how you look at it) news for you…
“White People” cannot change. Because “White People” do not exist in the real world. “White People” only exist in your mind.
If you believe in “White People,” your thoughts are not grounded in reality, only in ineffective abstractions— therefore, you are doomed to remain ineffective and frustrated.
Only individuals exist. Only individuals can oppress. Not social constructs. Give up your magical thinking. If you or your community is being oppressed, be specific about who is oppressing you. Point to individuals or policies which oppress. We can work with specifics — specifics can effect change. Abstractions cannot. They are worthless.
If you cannot be specific, you’ll keep feeling frustrated your conception of “White People” isn’t changing. It cannot change.
It is not real.
1.] Your use of “White People,” “Black People,” and the obviously and blatantly wrong “Indian,” is simplistic slave language — taught by the oppressors (mostly the <1–2% of individuals who owned slaves in early America) to alienate minorities, obfuscate and destroy your family heritage and divide America into homogenized Groupthinks. Because you use it, it’s still working.

2.] “White People” do not exist. Only individuals exist. You do not need permission from any abstraction to effect change in your community.
3.] If you believe “White People” exist, you have been duped by ideology — you are probably a pawn in someone else’s game.
Refine your thinking. Open your eyes.
Only individuals exist. Only individuals oppress.
Only individuals effect change.
