white people stop pretending like we live in a post-racial society challenge

gender identity has nothing to do with physical appearance. it has to do with what you identify as. a Black trans woman can choose to transition her gender presentation so that people's perception matches her inner reality but can't "transition" into being white. she'd have to do a body transplant for that since race is strictly based on perceived phenotype not self-identification. the reason why whites can't transition races is because the racial oppression only goes one way, like a pyramid. white people invented the racial caste system so it'd be impossible for us to oppress ourselves into becoming Black

transracial adoption doesn't imply that the child's race is being changed but that the adopting family is of a different race than them. it's usually meant to highlight the way white parents adopt Black children to be used as slave labor.

we keep the divisions

who's we? this is dangerous and is implying that the only reason racism keeps being an issue is because Black people refuse to move on. only we as whites have the privilege to ignore the racial caste system and pretend like nothing is going on

what you're talking about is proximity to whiteness. AFAIK passing was not a choice which makes Dolezal's actions even more violent. lighter Black people benefit from colorism but they're still at risk of lynching because of their race. white people doing blackface is a way to mock that powerlessness felt by victims of white supremacy and make money from clout.

as for non-white SWANA people assimilating into whiteness, that's a way to harness the colonial power structure to their own benefit by distancing themselves from Black people. this is all a trauma response and survival mechanism from centuries of European genocide like colored South Africans with the same phenotype as indigenous Africans claiming they're not Black.

culture and ethnicity have nothing to do with race. race is based on perceived phenotype

associating psychosis and narcissism with being abusive is textbook ableism, so yeah
