A lot followers of Musk on his platform use the hashtag and slogan that it is ok to be white. But is it? "White" is not a culture. It isn't a community. It is a practice of control and violence. It is born in the idea of dominance through rape, theft, and murder. White isn't "German" or "Dutch".

erasure. Erasure of the humanity of others, and the culpability of the self. No, it is not ok to be white. White is a lie, so one is proclaiming that there is pride in believing a lie. That is to be pitied!

Correct. Which is why I recommend the workshop "Before We Were White" every time it's offered. I did that here last year--not one response. Too bad. It's an amazing workshop for white people. It's offered by the anti-racist organization White Awake--unfortunate name, terrific organization.

I'm not sure you did this on purpose, but I really didn't need you to tell me this was correct. I don't know where that impulse comes from, but it happens a lot in white spaces. A lot.

It was just my way of agreeing with you. I say it to any comment I agree with. Too late for me to edit it to just say, "I agree." But that's all I meant.
