     \u201cWhiteness\u201d is posited as the underlying evil of American, and Western, society because it creates a \u201csystem of oppression\u201d that \u201cprivileges\u201d White people by oppressing non-White people. And what better example of that, according to a Washington Post op-ed, than \u201cmultiracial whiteness<\/a>\u201d!<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cTrump, by contrast, knows nothing of the history of Latinos in the United States and rarely even pretends to find value in Latinos\u2019 distinct identities. Rather than offering his non-White voters recognition, Trump has offered them multiracial whiteness.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     This so-called \u201cmulticultural whiteness\u201d seems to value people as individuals, and offers a lack<\/em> of racial discrimination by making race an irrelevancy. The typical rejoinder is that by ignoring race we are blinded to how a society is some big insidious plot to oppress some people due to their by\u2026 not treating them differently due to their race.<\/p>\n

\"\"

This is what White supremacy looks like according to the Left.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

\u201cRooted in America\u2019s ugly history of white supremacy, indigenous dispossession and anti-blackness, multiracial whiteness is an ideology invested in the unequal distribution of land, wealth, power and privilege \u2014 a form of hierarchy in which the standing of one section of the population is premised on the debasement of others. Multiracial whiteness reflects an understanding of whiteness as a political color and not simply a racial identity \u2014 a discriminatory worldview in which feelings of freedom and belonging are produced through the persecution and dehumanization of others.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     Yet not<\/em> having racial supremacy, dispossession, or anti-whateverness is somehow creating racial heirarchies?<\/p>\n

     What this opinion is admitting, however, is that \u201cWhiteness\u201d and Critical Race Theory are about the old class-based Marxist thought and Critical Theory repackaged to get around the fact that Americans reject Marixst class dynamics that fly in the face of opportunity and the benefits of hardwork by exploiting America\u2019s guilt of not always living up to the astronomically high standards when it comes to equality under the law. \u201cWhiteness\u201d, then, isn\u2019t about White people or even about race: It is about drenching America with racial animus as a cover for class warfare, and threatening non-Whites with the same racial animus shown to White people in order to get them to \u201cplay ball\u201d with the Leftist narrative.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMultiracial whiteness promises Latino Trump supporters freedom from the politics of diversity and recognition. For voters who see the very act of acknowledging one\u2019s racial identity as itself racist, the politics of multiracial whiteness reinforces their desired approach to colorblind individualism. In the politics of multiracial whiteness, anyone can join the MAGA movement and engage in the wild freedom of unbridled rage and conspiracy theories.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     Racial inclusivity is a GOOD THING; it is the ANTITHESIS of RACISM.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMultiracial whiteness offers citizens of every background the freedom to call Muslims terrorists, demand that undocumented immigrants be rounded up and deported, deride BLM as a movement of thugs and criminals, and accuse Democrats of being blood-drinking pedophiles.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     Oh, how dare non-White people think for themselves and believe things that woke elitists, with their oh-so-Western derive ideology demand that they think, such as opposing Jihadi terrorism, supporting a secure border, or opposing the arson, looting, and assaults of the BLM\/Antifa riots!<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cHere, the politics of exclusion, violence and demonization are available to all. If you want to speak Spanish and celebrate a quincea\u00f1era in your family, go ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     This isn\u2019t exclusion; it is the perfect example of inclusion.<\/p>\n

     This isn\u2019t violence; it is literally an example of peaceful coexistance.<\/p>\n

     This isn\u2019t demonization; it is an explicit example of of not<\/em> demonizing anyone.<\/p>\n

     If everyone<\/a> can an exclusionary and violent demonizer who accepts other exclusionary and violent demonizers, then no one<\/em> is an exclusionary and violent demonizer.<\/p>\n

     What a wonderful racial supremacy it is when anyone<\/em><\/a> can be part of<\/a> and benefit from<\/a> equally<\/em> regardless of race<\/em>!<\/p>\n
