“WHITENESS”

A Counter Racist Analysis

MSNBC.COM - Washington Post Article

University of Massachusetts women's studies professor Arlene Avakian leads a discussion among her students regarding race, specifically the idea of "whiteness." Hue and cry on ‘whiteness studies’ classes An academic field’s take on race stirs interest, anger By Darryl Fears THE WASHINGTON POST

I insist that everyone read this article. MSNBC has a section on their site titled "Race in America". I visit it often.

I think the most alarming thing to me is that I suspect the White people who are at the forefront of promoting what's called "Whiteness Studies" are basically passing out a pre-released version of how to practice Racism in the future, to exactly who needs it the most:

Younger White people!

And at the same time, further confuse non-white people as to how to solve this Race problem...

I think it's a great example of the soft-shoe act of ANTI-Racism. "Anti" meaning, it doesn’t do anything.

To me the question that needs to be answered is:

What does this scientific exercise actually prove?

I think it proves what Black people have always known:

White people can do MORE THINGS than non-white people.

And that's what I suspect the white people who organized that experiment intend to leave the focus of their experiments findings.

It's a great example of how white people can mislead non white people by even making TRUE statements, such as the results of that experiment.

What isn't explained by the experiment or terms like: "whiteness" or "white-privileged", is the explanation of why non-white people aren’t able to DO ALL THE THINGS white people can do as the experiment showed.

Non-white people aren’t able to do all of the things the white people were able to do in the experiment, as well as in the other 9 areas of people activity (Economics, Education, Entertainment, Labor, Law, Politics, Religion, Sex, and War) because there are some unidentified white people who are practicing Racism against them.

AND THAT DOESN’T SEEM TO BE ADDRESSED AT ALL.

And isn’t it interesting that even within this experiment orchestrated by white people, illustrating non-white people being mistreated on the basis of COLOR, the white people who are responsible for preventing the non white people from doing the same things that the white people are doing are mysteriously unidentified.

This speaks to non-white peoples in-ability to identify exactly who a Racist is without the validation of another white person.

It also shows how awesome and dynamic Racism/white supremacy is.

A black person who gets mistreated on the basis of COLOR their entire life, still doesn’t have the power to say which white person or persons practiced Racism against them and make that charge stick without the validation of a substantial number of other white people.

Why else would Johnnie Cochran need F. Lee Bailey?

This is why I suspect the “whiteness studies” approach is yet another way white people can confuse more and more Black people about how Racism actually works between people.

Like I’ve already said, the reason the non-white people aren’t able to do as much as the white people is because of the other ‘mystery’ white people (Racists/white supremacist) who are practicing racism/white supremacy won't allow them.

This is the mistreatment based on COLOR Black people keep complaining about from as far back as I can remember.  Getting mistreated is not some new revelation about being a black person.

This is the principle behind having a thing called “Race”: To keep all people from functioning equally in all areas of people activity. In this case, keeping the Black people from being able to DO all of the things White people can Do.

And again, this key point just happens to be excluded from all of these dialogs around “whiteness” that I have seen.

This to me is the only logical explanation for having or wanting to be a member of a “race”:

… TO PRACTICE RACE-ISM.

For a person who says they want to be a member of a race, is to say that they want to be a Racists/white supremacist.

In a very sophisticated fashion, the idea of “whiteness” or “white privilege” disconnects white people from the practice of white supremacy/racism. Almost as if to say that the mistreatment that black people are facing is either self-inflicted or just random acts that happen every now and then.

I often ask myself, “If Black people can DO everything that White people can DO, what's the point in being a white person?”

You dig?

I remember when Motorola 2-way pagers first hit the street a few years back. I recall them being thought of as somewhat exclusive. That is, until it seemed like everybody had one. Once more and more people had 2-ways, it seems like they became worth less than when only a small amount of people had the ability to use them.

I suspect White people apply that exact same logic in maintaining that exclusivity of being able to say:

“I’m a white person” or “I’m White”.

And in order for white people to keep this possible, many of them choose to utilize the act of mistreatment on the basis of COLOR (Racism) in all nine areas of activity, to boost the “value” of NOT being COLORED or White in a system white supremacy.

In a system of Racism/White Supremacy, you can’t have all people functioning as “white”, if you don’t have people functioning as “Niggers”. And the evidence shows that most white people will choose to “be-white” rather than choose for all people to function equally. I suspect this is why Racism/white supremacy continues to the world’s biggest problem.

If white people haven’t already seen the value in being a white person living under a system of white supremacy/racism, why are white people feeling “uncomfortable” in a class about “whiteness”?

Would those same white people feel as “uncomfortable” with that experiment if there weren’t any non white people in attendance?

This is what the white people who are in-charge of the curriculum of “whiteness” are not examining or even attempting to explain. This, in my opinion, is an act of Racism in and of itself.

Keep in mind that there isn’t much evidence of a system of “white privilege” or system of “whiteness” at all.

Like I said, white people don't magically end up with special ability to simply-just DO more things than non white people can do. There’s a razor-sharp scientific process that makes this possible:

A system of Racism/White Supremacy; A socio-political power dynamic illustrated by White OVER Non-white in all places at all times on this planet. Or in other words, there are some white people holding the non-white people back from doing all those things the white people are doing. Those white people are the Racists/white supremacist. Whoever they may be.

Finally, if a “privilege” is something that is given by another, non white people must start asking themselves:

”WELL, WHO GIVES WHITE PEOPLE “WHITE-PRIVILEGE”?

(note** on the topic of” Whiteness”, this is the $1-Million dollar question.)

Now, if white people give other white people “white-privileges”, why not just call that white-supremacy?

It sounds like white supremacy to me.

Replace White Supremacy With JUSTICE.
