it's really frustrating to see how people just look over that whole 'white' thing--like it's just scribbly lines a 2 yr old drew on the wall and everybody just got used to cuz nobody wanted to do the work of wiping it off the wall. https://twitter.com/sadydoyle/status/1265002379461754881
I mean, what wouldn’t I pay to see some white folks recognize and talk about how they bond over white supremacy. That the NORM is to live within segregated defined society and that you have to actively make the choice to desegregate-
I mean the literal only people that seem to get that it’s white supremacy are the white men everybody likes to call ‘working class.’ They literally do hitler salutes and cheer when prez talks abt rapist Mexicans.
And yet thru the ‘working class white man’ genre, we get eternal reflections on what it could possibly be that is appealing abt trump.
At this point, I feel like this genre exists solely as a method of gaslighting.
It’s literally ANYTHING —people like his unbrushed teeth! People like his ties! People like his sniffing!— other than plain old simple white supremacy.
The US has a white supremacy problem. Dear god. Just say it. And figure out what ur going to do about it.
Liberals are defining themselves as ‘good people’ by how not like trump they are. They use the genre of ‘working class white men’ to separate themselves from culpability.
Writer: Donald trump is a pussy, I don’t get why manly working class white men love him!!
Me: WHITE SUPREMACY.
See how easy that was??

White supremacy is why all of :::THIS::: (points at everything) is happening. It’s not going to stop until we reckon with that.
And that means stop with the moral bullshit—trump hates x person! And I don’t! This I am a good person!
Who. Cares.
Who. Cares.
Trump is promising he will give white people special benefits because they are good and come from good stock *as long as they give him power*. That is the white supremacist contract.
What are we (waves hands about wildly) going to do about that contract????
