[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The white fragility on here is really something. We white people have an important duty here to dismantle white supremacy. Our children get countless white role models. Don't be worried about that. It's important to let them see POC as leaders and contributors to this society too, instead of continually casting them as criminals, the help, or athletes.

My white family has been in America for a long time also, since before it was a country. We celebrate the good things about American history and culture and I educate them on the bad things also. We are proud of the good things, we are NOT proud of being white. Being white is NOT being American. [/quote]

It’s ok to be white.[/quote]

Sure, but being white itself isn't really something to be "proud" of. I'm proud of my family's history of working hard and building communities (farmers & local community leaders), but I'm not proud that they overlooked the abuses of others. A few ancestors were Quakers though - I'm super proud of them for standing up for others centuries ago.

NP - white family also here for a long time.

Of course, but "it's ok to be white" is the PERFECT alt-right troll and entree into recruitment. Because remember we're talking about children and adolescents, not 40-year old former critical race theory majors.  A white boy who constantly hears about "girls rule" and "black pride" and "white privilege" and "white supremacy" absolutely will think "oh yeah, why isn't is ok to be white?"  [/quote]

This seems pretty clearly true to me. Women are expressly encouraged to help other women advance simply because they are women.  So too with all sorts of other racial and gender affinity groups.  Indeed those groups are also encouraged to help out the others, and for the same reasons. White males are often expressly told to step back. It’s perfectly rational for white males to band together to advance their common interests in this kind of environment.  [/quote]
