I've read about the history of European imperialism in Africa and the origins of racial thinking and racism, but what I don't get is what things these new wokesters think of as uniquely "white."
Are there sources for being against values like, "honesty," "loyalty," "fair dealing," "integrity," "responsibility," "competence," "family," "hard work," "rules," and others that you see tweets about?
People can hold these values without being white, not all white people hold them, and people who don't hold these values are basically considered animals in every culture they live in (e.g. "white trash", barbarians/criminals, etc.) What's something uniquely "white," that they have a problem with?
1: Read your Russian Revolution history
2: Learn what the "Kulaks" were
3: Learn what "Dekulakization" was
4: Anytime you see some shit about white people, take out the word "White" and replace it with "Kulak"
The “uniquely white” thing they have a problem with is the legacy of European imperialism. Long dead Europeans did some shit things (and good things, but no one talks about that) and now white people are forever tainted by the sins of their forefathers. It doesn’t matter that those same Europeans where pretty shit to other white Europeans (British Irish relations as an example).
Thinking that it’s some cultural value is giving the lefties too much credit. SOME white people did bad things, and now ALL white people are tainted by their sins. If that’s not racist then I don’t know what is any more in this three ring circus we call the modern world.
I have strong opinions, but I've been trying to take some of these wokesters at face value from the perspective of them just being people pursuing their interests like anyone else. I agree with BLM that policing everywhere needs complete reform, and I was one of the first to say that police unions were the root of all the problems. Police unions were always the storm troopers of the deep state. What I don't agree with is replacing that rotten institution with wokester party faithful and SJW religious police.
What they're afraid of is Trump and insurgent right governments will cripple the deep state before the wokesters can seize control of it.
The hard part of talking to those people is a lot of the white ones are like toxoplasmosis cat lady zombies, and somehow marxist dialectic materialism became the new ebonics, so it's all ho-mo-po-mo-glo-bo-no-po-po to me.
If we don't have a way to mutually signal that we are committed to compatible values, the alternative is just war, and those are sad chapters. Surely we can take responsibility for preventing war?
They have a problem looking at success. They want success, but they don't want to do anything to actually attain it. It took my family 4 generations to be 'successful' in Canada. They move here and expect it as soon as the step on our soil.
As stated in multiple handbooks, infographics, and many public statements from white-racists:
Objectivity, individualism, the nuclear family, laws... basically everything that has afforded humanity to advance since the neolithic era. Because these concepts were discovered and employed by white societies first, they are evil.
Don't ask me what the rationale is. You would have to ask one of them but from what I can see it's driven by racism, resentment, and hatred.
