I Am Not Ready to Reenter White Society
The Nation ^ | 23 Mar, 2021 | Elie Mystal

Posted on 03/23/2021 3:43:52 PM PDT by MtnClimber

I’ve said, here and elsewhere, that one of the principal benefits of the pandemic is how I’ve been able to exclude racism and whiteness generally from my day-to-day life. Over the past year, I have, of course, still had to interact with white people on Zoom or watch them on television or worry about whether they would succeed in reelecting a white-supremacist president. But white people aren’t in my face all of the time. I can, more or less, only deal with whiteness when I want to. Their cops aren’t hunting me when I drive through my neighborhood; their hang-ups aren’t bothering me (or threatening me) when I’m just trying to do some shopping.

That’s because I haven’t been driving or shopping in person. White people haven’t improved; I’ve just been able to limit my exposure to them. I’ve turned my house into Wakanda: a technically advanced, globally isolated home base from which I can pick and choose when and how often to interact with white people.

To be clear, it’s not that most or even many of my interactions with white people are “bad”; it’s that I’m able to choose when to expose myself to interactions with potentially bad white people. That choice is a privilege I’ve never really had until this past year. Going out into white society for me is a little bit like a beekeeper going to get honey. I know what I’m doing: If I put on the right protection and blow enough smoke, most of the bees will leave me alone and the ones who don’t won’t really cause me that much pain. But I’ve got to put on the suit and the hat with the mesh and carry the smoke machine and be careful every time I want some goddamn honey.

The left has been successful in stirring up absolute hatred against white people. They are blamed for every real or perceived problem in society. Black Liberation Theology teaches this too. Is wanting to rid society of people because of their skin pigment not racist if it is against white people? Isn’t this just black supremacy on the part of black leftists and their supporters?

And white society (being the most civilized) most certainly does not give a sh**.

Just another racist living out some Wakanda fantasy.

If Elie is using TV’s, computers, or communication devices it’s too late. She’s never left ‘White Society’.

Maybe she could go back to Africa. There aren't as many whites there. In fact she will find whole countries chock full o' Negroes like herself.

Last time I looked we still had freedom of assembly. I see nothing wrong with people feeling more comfortable among those whose culture they are used to, and that goes for black, white, and everything else.

Let’s not confuse discrimination with regard to things that are desirable to everyone with simply wanting to choose who you associate with.

Africa is calling! Your grass and mud hut awaits. Time for you to leave this racist country and go to utopia. Please be sure to revoke US citizenship on the way out.

Anti-racism looks suspiciously like racism.

“I’ve said, here and elsewhere, that one of the principal benefits of the pandemic is how I’ve been able to exclude racism and BLACKNESS generally from my day-to-day life. Over the past year, I have, of course, still had to interact with BLACK people on Zoom or watch them on television, WHERE THEY’RE OVER REPRESENTED, or worry about whether they would succeed in electing a SENILE, RACIST president.”

Hmmm...I wonder what response that would get if published in some rag?

Where is Wakanda. Is there any African country that has any form of society that produces more than they consume?

I also can remember when South Africa was a first World country.
