Does racism against white people exist? (lemmygrad.ml)

What morality lies in bigotry? None. What morals exist in anti-bigotry? Every single one of them. When we experience bigotry, we know it’s wrong. To me, morality and bigotry are two opposites, and bigotry is wrong in both sense of the word, that is, as something illogical and immoral. We never say a racist man is moral, but is anti-racism moral in word or deed? Communists don’t just oppose racism in ideology; we act against it. Ours is a political movement, a fight against oppression. Thus, the answer is self-evident: No, we can’t be racist against whites. By virtue of our anti-racism being a political movement based on the liberation of the oppressed races, whites, as a race, are excluded from this anti-racism. When liberals claim “cracker” is a racist slur, they prove themselves to be crackers because only a cracker would take offense.

I remember in my liberal days, this concept threw me off because I thought that racism was this mostly organic thing that arises from "tribalism". Which is not a narrative I came up with. I'm sure it is a narrative white supremacists came up with and passed along to justify the system of white supremacy.

Could white supremacy even exist without the development of colonialism? It seems like the one followed from the other as a kind of formalization of settler hierarchy and dividing the world into "civil" and "savage." There's so much mass murder steeped in it. To fear the loss of whiteness is to fear the loss of supremacy and the privilege that comes with it, not a loss of personhood. In fact, losing white supremacy would return a humanness to white people that they've lost in the process of positioning themselves as the "civil" monsters ruling over the rest.

If one is considered white and receives anger or rejection for it, it's a good moment to pause and remember why. Because white for many in the world is associated with genocidal violence against them and their people, and this is not some past wound, it continues in the now. The only way to end the reason for that anger is to end white supremacy.
