Not sure if you read the letter or didn't comprehend it but here you go....again...."There is nothing about you biologically or physically that denotes an innate mode of supremacy. For that matter there is also nothing about you psychologically, philosophically, cognitively, academically, socially, architecturally, culturally or even financially that signifies a higher position above any other group. And to be diplomatic there is nothing about you that denotes innate inferiority as well. So what you really are is something in the middle. You are regular. White Regularity is congruent to all other forms of regularity i.e. Black, Brown, Etc etc. But in regularity there is room for differences and this is where White Regularity shines! Each group gets the same essential universals. Dance, food, music, etc. and it must be admitted that the White Regularity take on these universal institutions has been unbelievably impressive and a great addition to the total world culture. I mean spaghetti and meatballs, Romeo & Juliet, Coldplay, The Tuxedo, lighter that air travel are all world class additions to the collective bucket but they are no less or more impressive than every other regular groups take on the universals either. And if we really wanted to get analytical every invention is built on inspiration from a previously existinginvention so the claim of "The Supreme 1st" to do something is highly debatable and except for a few exceptions, impossible! All things human aren't born from a supreme overlord solely working in isolation."

He just wrote about how white people can be safe knowing white supremacy doesn't exist because we have all been in this together!!!! But hey you supremely hateful and violent white people don't fret, you guys are regular just like us!!! Matter of fact, you are SUPER regular!!! You created Coldplay!

:stopitslime:

Do you get it now?
He's basically saying nothing is supreme about white culture/ contribution to society. But maybe we have a different opinions on what " :cape: for white people" is.

I agree with what you said in your 1st post about this not being needed tho.

He gave cacs a pass by trying to debase and dissect supremacy as an illegitimate science and "social myth", that doesn't really work. You don't have to believe in Coldplay to be a cac supremacist in this country.

How does debasing the theory that whites are superior to other races = giving cacs a pass?

I don't know. I read the letter twice and still don't understand his point.
His point is simple. For example, American exceptionalism is a construct to make Americans feel superior to other countries, when in reality we're not. We're regular, maybe even below average. Obese, racist, uneducated, untraveled, narcissistic, hypocritical, you name it. America was built on slavery so why do we brag about being American? Why do we feel superior? It gets us in trouble. Look at Iraq, look at Vietnam. Not knowing our limitations. Actually believing our own bullshyt until we're forced to reckon with it. After 10 fukking years we still can't accept the fact that we can't conquer Iraq.

The same thing is true with White Supremacy

The real problem I have is you're validating the idea of white supremacy by constructing a long counter argument to it. You can deconstruct white supremacy with just one line: Asians score higher than whites in every subject on average.

No. On average around the world most asians are in poverty and are boosting up white supremacy.

These tactics do not work son

Because he didn't attack cac supremacy.

Also threw in "Did you know black people had slaves in Africa too?" :aicmon:

"Did you know in the world your considered a minority too?" :aicmon:



who the fukk is this guy speaking to? supremacists right?

Okay everyone is equal... why are blacks still suffering from whites?

why is is Africa still colonized and puppeteered by cacs?
