I agree, but I don't think the right call is to literally demonize "Whiteness" The imagery in the book includes a cartoonish devil tail. It's about as close to "white devil" as an allegory can get. White people are the villains in this story; white people are the ones who made the world hell. It's frustrating that you and others like you can't see the problem with such careless comparisons and outright statements of "whiteness = evil" If you think "whiteness" is the problem, fuck off with that noise. I don't have time for that kind of racial bias and hatred. Unfortunately, that's what fucking happened. White people did a lot of unspeakable things under the specific banner of whiteness, because of whiteness, to preserve the separation and caste system that placed whiteness above anything else. They did it because they were taught that they were better than others because they were in that made up category called white. If you're mad that whiteness as a concept has a bad connotation, that's because it's never been used for anything good or led to anything good. The category has always been a tool to divide and conquer. That does not mean individual white human beings or people with pale skin are bad. Criticizing the specific social practice of categorizing some people as white and others as non-white and everything that's come with that does not mean that you are automatically bad simply for being white. Whiteness as a concept is bad. Being white/pale/lightskinned/descended from Europeans is not bad. Do you understand? --- I gotta be righteous, I gotta be me, I gotta be conscious, I gotta be free, I gotta be able, I gotta attack, I gotta be stable, I gotta be black. <cite>legendary_zell posted [p:959014660] in Foxnews ta...
