Whiteness Is a Pandemic

[Solly Mack]

55. He isn't dictating. He is expressing his thoughts on racism.

And he sees a difference between whiteness and white skin.

Because when you look at America's history you see all the evidence of how people with white skin defined their whiteness.

They defined it as being supreme/superior.

That's why slavery. That's why Black Codes. That's why Jim Crow. And the list goes on. Because being white, their whiteness, was defined as being better than black people, Asian people, Hispanics/Latinos. etc..

That's why laws against the Chinese.

That's why the attacks on Hispanics/Latinos.

That's why the racist attitudes against everyone not white.

Because people with white skin defined whiteness as being better than everyone else. They defined their whiteness as white supremacy - because of their racism.

And the years and years of whiteness acting on that definition - a definition white people gave to themselves by claiming to be superior (as evidenced by all the racist laws and well, hello - slavery) - has shaped America. Has shaped everything about America.

No one should be dictating to minorities how they perceive or feel about the racism against them.

Damon Young was not being racist against white people.
