    A note to folks in this thread:

    It's good to challenge white supremacy in all of its incarnations at all time. It's certainly good to refuse to be proud to be white considering what the concept of whiteness is.

    It's another thing to performatively hate yourself in a cocktail of millennial self-deprecation and liberal white guilt. It's not revolutionary, and it's probably not good for you.

      I think people here are predominantly the former and not the later. The later is just rank liberalism. Important distiction though

      Ah but have you considered that I want to self deprecate in a way that aligns with my political values?

      It's terrible because if I wanted to be something other than white all the things I might have felt any associated with are claimed by white supremacy. Like, damn. Which is worse being proud white or proud of you british ancestry?

        That's not entirely true. There's a lot of folk and other culture that's solidly left wing and associated with the working classes. It's just mostly more english/welsh/cornish/scottish than british specifically.

        Even then if you want to enjoy 19th century sea shanties it's fine, there are people to be proud of if you look, like the Reaver (anti slavery) squadron.

          Cant find anything about this on Google. Just fictional stuff like Star Wars and Warhammer. Can you drop a link or something?

            They weren't particularly effective and they didn't get anywhere near enough support, but they were enthusiastic and the Kru People were also major participants, as were many released or escaped slaves. It just makes me feel good, thinking about Master and Commander, but they're hunting down slavers and not French Revolutionaries.

      I've been trying to deprogram the whiteness out of myself. Like I resent the fucking concept of whiteness and what it has done to me personally and the world generally. Fuck racists for thinking I share any common bond with them based on some phrenology-ass category.

      Maybe it sounds weird, but I've found it helps to focus on my actual ethnic "heritage".

    The only thing better than the self-loathing cracker posting is the imminent threads by Posters of Color being absolutely weirded out by the self-flagellation of the self-loathing cracker posting. Tide goes in, tide goes out. Happens everytime.

      Look, King of Racists HP Lovecraft was racist against Poles so I feel comfortable saying y'all are POC and should fight on our side once the race war starts.

          The Dutch were too non-white for him. I’ve seen the Welsh thing from other contemporary sources, but Lovecraft was Franklin levels of WASP only (who complained about the swarthy Swedes and Germans).

            Somehow one of the only major founding fathers to not own slaves was actually on a higher tier of racism than the slave owning ones.

      I'm glad my grandpa moved to America. That dude helped the allies in WWII. Needless to say, he likely wouldn't have been welcomed back, considering Poland's politics today.
