Re: freespirit, all 'white people' suffa 'whitenes

Quote: "i do not think that conscious depigmented africans should think of themselves even remotely connected to 'white racism'"

Firstly, i do not think that the solution for racism is for Whites to 'denounce their whiteness', and refer to themselves depigmented africans instead. In the system of global white privilege, they will still collect their white privileges. Instead of Whites not 'thinking themselves even remotely connected to white racism', i say the better way is for them to think themselves VERY connected to 'white racism'. That way they can start to assess the extent of their white skin privilege and how their actions act to uphold the oppression of many. Racism is too pyschologically deep, for Whites to simply 'denounce their whiteness' and be separated themselves from white racism. Despite the best of intentions, this is bound to fail.
