We say this because we know the true nature of white folks. ALL white people are racist, they are just pretending not to be. All of them are implicitly racist because they live on stolen land and the blood money of our ancestors, making them all ACTIVE criminals (as this is an ongoing crime that they refuse to end by resolving their crime). The vast majority are explicit racists, meaning that if you hang around them long enough they will say something racist (most white people have said ****** before, yet people walk around as if they haven’t). Calling some white people racist implies that most of them are not. Racism is the rule, not the exception when it comes to them.
When we say this we DON’T mean we want to be subject to racist laws or violence by white people. It simply means we don’t want to live in the “illusion of inclusion” or have false belief in an oppressive system. Integration (or sub-integration) assumes that the things we are sub-integrating ourselves into are not racist. When we don’t understand that whites are inherently racist, we end up sending our black children to schools where whites pretend not to be racist, while practicing racism against them, we end up dating white people who are racist while not realizing they are racist against us.
The things you don’t see are the things that end up killing you, THAT is why we want racism to be out in the open. All of these are examples of racism, but they happened in a covert manner (because the racism was not out in the open in the first place). If we knew who we are and what they are, we wouldn’t be subjected to their medical racism, institutional racism, racism in relationships, etc. These are the consequences of not wanting your racism out in the open:
