I stay away from those poor whites, they’re the scariest of them all!

This is reductive and absurdly classist. The white poor/proletariat class has certainly contributed to a legacy of white vigilantism and settler violence. But we cannot discount the more widespread and consequential violence of a much more exclusive, more powerful class. While you deride these “hillbillies”, “rednecks”, and other “poor whites” of which you speak with a sense of misplaced elitism, you neglect the violence of those white people in suits and ties who attend Ivy Leagues. Those whites who smile in your face while overseeing the systems of economics, education, healthcare, incarceration, and much more that produce the material conditions for Black oppression and disenfranchisement. Those who facilitate the continued colonization/dispossession of Black people overseas in the Global South. This convenient liberal narrative often embraced by you and other in the Black (petit) bourgeoisie as well as your white supporters which frames racial antagonisms as merely a culmination of the beliefs/actions of individuals allows us to perceive racism as a deeply interpersonal phenomenon and renders invisible the oppression/exploitation that the white and Black bourgeoisie alike inflict upon in a way that endangers us much more gravely on a systemic level everyday while simultaneously inhibiting us from developing the class consciousness necessary for collective action and liberation.

The worst ones are the white elites who see through the system but still pretend like its correct just to keep it going, even as a white, they scare me. Complete psychos
