The concept of a white people was borne specifically as a sociopolitical power play to keep poor whites from establishing camaraderie with indentured and enslaved peoples. People have been accepted into the group of whiteness not because of similarities in skin color (again, the British did not and still in some ways don't fuck with the Irish, even though they're both white) but based upon political convenience of having these various cultures be added to the fold.
So you tell me what "white culture" is. If it is something that can be defined, it's not a legacy that bodes well, especially in the context of black and brown folks' experiences.
Did you really say that the British did not fuck with the Irish? Are you for real or just ignorant to everything that happened between the UK and Ireland? The Irish were possibly one the worst examples for you to use.
Also saying that "white people" have no culture other than to be racist is dehumanising in itself and if that's something you believe then I think that's crazy. You're lumping so many people into one group and saying that they have no culture, that they're all racist, now that might be American "White Culture", but that's not the same around the world, and the same with "Black Culture", you can't just say it's the same all around the world.
Nepenthe is a fucking idiot, you say?
This thread has been going in circles for a bit, and not really producing any constructive discussion at this point, so we're locking it.
Probably for the best, theres been enough ass shown already
half the thread: of fucking course, discriminating on the basis of skin colour is literally text book racism
the usual suspects: I invent my own definitions,
thank you very much
