Every once in a while, certain people from the dominant society will act as whistleblowers on white supremacy. Especially certain white people who themselves are marginalized within white society. Recently a gay/trans white man who goes by the name of Dakota Bracciale made a bold posting on his Facebook page regarding race. He warned Melanoid people that systematic white supremacy is so deep in this society, that no white people should be trusted.
Here is his post in its entirety:
An Open Letter to People of Color:
Please do not trust white people.
Every single one of us is racist, it's something we were born and raised into, we were and are consistently indoctrinated into white supremacy.
Indifference and apathy towards systemic racism and it's [sic] horrific results is not just more comfortable, it is incentivized; we are actively rewarded by white supremacy in it's [sic] many forms for ignoring people of color and their cries for injustice.
Our bones are riddled with it, it's everywhere.
We were taught the the history of our nation through textbooks written by white men with a vested interest in how the story was and is being told.
So we think that MLK Jr. is the patron saint of polite black folks (to be invoked against the angry ones), peanut butter is the extent of black excellence, and according to the newest textbooks, slaves were just unpaid interns.
We were brought up being given medicine designed for us by white men, men who historically tortured black women and murdered black babies to found gynecology, men who performed surgeries on black people without any anesthesia and no precautions because it was believe that black people can not feel pain.
And you wonder why we do not sympathize when black children are gunned down by police?
Nothing stopped, the framework of systemic racism just keeps getting dressed differently, yesterday's fire hoses and attack dogs are today's cultural appropriation, tone policing and respectability politics.
We are the ones who committed genocide, stole this land, and now, generations later, think it's cool to dress up like the folks we massacred.
We're the ones making fun of people who can't speak "perfect" English, we're the ones who've come up with every single racial slur used in this country.
We're so much more concerned about you questioning us, telling us no or calling us out than we are what you're actually experiencing at our hands.
We will spent countless hours just poking at you, trolling you just to prove you're this less intellectual, overly emotional animal, to get you to fail a standard we set for you without ever clueing you in on it.
We are the ones who built this country on the blood, the bodies and the backs of people of color and then built Mt. Rushmore, statues, monuments to white men.
We rigged the economy, the government and the schools, created the ghettos, set you up for failure and then we blame you for your not pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.
We are still making you defend yourselves, over and over ad infinitum. We make you defend your personhood, your autonomy, your agency, your decency, your humanity because when you keep minorities on the defensive, when you keep them explaining who they are and justifying their right to life - nothing real ever gets done.
Even though I'm queer, even though I'm trans, I still get to sit in the "Whites Only" section and I have heard what gets said and I'm begging you, please don't trust us.
So could Michael Jackson.
“Every single one of us is racist, it’s something we were born and raised into, we were and are consistently indoctrinated into white supremacy”
Actually he’s telling the truth when it comes to the left.
There are lost souls, and then there are chumps like him. That dude is beyond "lost."
"Everything I say is a lie including this!"
Some one grab that dude’s guns before he hurts someone!
An open letter to all Whiteys. Don’t trust blacks. The majority want all your stuff for free.
"Everything I say is a lie including this!"
I had a white Trans-Am. 1980. It was as screwed up as this freak.
It’s a wonder that all the Black People weren’t wiped out by The Evil Racist White Man decades ago.
eye make-up is well done, though. S/he gets points for that. :)
We are not amused.
That is one sick puppy.
gay/trans white man could it be he is confused?
Ha,I had a ‘78, white ,t-tops,no bird
“Even though I’m queer, even though I’m trans, I still get to sit in the “Whites Only†section”
LOL! LOL! I wonder if the libs fall for this.
I also would despise the people who inflicted the name “Dakota Bracciale” on me, and do everything I could to destroy them.
“This sentence is false.”
