TY (thank You) M. Yancey. TYTY. I wrote a piece mebbe eight or nine months ago called, IIRC "I'm One-a the Least Racist People of any Color." Try to take that as a starting point.
I liked the look of Your book, and the bio on Your website, M. Yancey. TY for those efforts. But I think it's always best to look at the Reality of things, right? I like the PRINCIPLE of Blacks not trying to subordinate whites.
Here's the thing: Subordinating whites is the sine qua non of Black Supremists, right?
For one thing, for a lotta Black people, to stop subordinating whites would remove a large chunk of the personal identity they've developed for themselves. Even MORE to the point, for the best of the Black Supremists, You'd be talking about devastating their INCOME (italics). Their POWER. M. Kendi? M. DiAngelo? (M. Crenshaw?) M. Coates? Not gonna make much difference to M. Cullors since she's already captured her millions. But M. Hannah-Jones? She's got a position at Howard, bringing along $20 MILLION for funding her fantasies, by shaming America at every opportunity. IOW, subordinating white people. All the DEI officers and consultants subordinating white people?
Just "saying" You've got a tough row to hoe.
Why do so MANY Black people take on the role of victim, besides getting attention? To subordinate white people, right? How can Black Supremacy continue on if whites are elevated to an equal level in discussing race relations? Would the white enablers devote so much ENERGY to the CRUSADE (those who are honest about it anyway), if they didn't believe in Black Supremacy? Do You think so?
First link:
"But for a non-Black person to fully understand anti-racism, they must endeavor to grasp the underlying context of Reid's Tweet: Black lives (and voices) have been marginalized and silenced to the point of death for centuries. They've been trying to tell us about the deadly problem of institutionalized racism; the white community has not been listening to them and has not been acting to fix it."
Second link:
"Current leaders in positions of authority in government, private, and non-profit institutions have inherited and upheld racist institutions and structures. These leaders have historically diluted the term “racism” to reflect only overt interpersonal racist actions so that the full system of racism can continue to grow and persist, unseen and unchallenged."
Third link:
"Let’s be honest: white racial justice leaders are experts at performative allyship."
"% saying they would be very or somewhat opposed to a close relative marrying someone who is Black among U.S. adults who are not that race or ethnicity"
They don't ask how many whites, unfortunately. Nevertheless, the results obtain:
1990 = 63%
2016 = 14%
Funny way to put it. Better Way is to say that 86% of Americans don't have much of a problem if close relative marries a Black person. If any. Take that as a close approximation of RACIAL ANIMOUS five years ago. Probably even MORE would go for it now, right?
So where, EXACTLY, does this systemic racism come OUTTA, pray tell. System racism being known by just about EVERYBODY, should be easy to identify, and apply current anti-discrimination laws AGAINST IT, right? No. TALKING about supposed systemic racism pays more than looking into the facts of the matter. Besides, looking at facts is a major element of whiteness, right?
And, unless I miss my guess, the actual unseen aspect of systemic racism which is most SALIENT, is Affirmative Action for about the past 50 years. Why is this conveniently ignored in today's discussion?
Simply because any SERIOUS discussion would involve actually looking at the reality of things, and then working out iterative SMALL changes that would actually IMPROVE things for those who need the help most, right? But like I said at the top, the decentralized leadership of this ever-changing mental virus, will continue to expand, likely, because there's no good reason for them to WANT solutions that would put them outta business.

Sorry so long, and hope not to offend TOO many.
Thanks, I like your perspective.
