I& #39;m seeing a lot of people who hate when white people say "Unfortunately I& #39;m white" and like... Am I missing some context or something here?

Bc Idk if you can really be antiracist without hating the fact that you& #39;re white at least a little
I mean the very sight of you is a show of solidarity with white supremacists and sends the message that they& #39;re right, no matter what decisions you make or how much work you do - at least to strangers. And sending that message causes harm
I mean, isn& #39;t the whole idea of antiracism to value fighting oppression more than you value your privilege?

That& #39;s kinda impossible when you wear the N word of skin colors. I mean having privilege is great for the person who has it but it& #39;s kinda selfish to say it& #39;s worth it
Or is saying "Unfortunately I& #39;m white" so annoying bc people say it to virtue signal so much? Like "Look how woke I am and how much I hate my own whiteness :D"?

(In that case, I& #39;m sorry if this thread comes off that way. I& #39;m genuinely wondering how to approach this)
