Kyle Phoenix Answers: What do White Americans think about Black Americans?

0233961968Bernadette Devlin, Cheney, , Goodman, maybe a few politicians, white who look around their Thanksgiving dinner table and see lots of different kinds, when you go out of your to protest with black lives matter or just send a check, when you troll sites to spew anti-racist rhetoric, when you join the dozens of national groups to dismantle white privilege by sitting regularly with white folk who point out the difference to you. It never dawned on you that there could be such groups because white privilege allows you to anoint yourself without review by black people ethics and standards. Let our criteria demarcate you as racist -lite.
If the the thought of people of color judging you w on their experience just made you nervous, you just got a millisecond of being non-white in America .
Flattening is when you see "us" as all the same or god help us don't see race at him. Our minority butts pucker at that one. We are meant to be seen, not invisibled, in fact it is respectful to see us and talk to us and discourse and most importantly announce your confusion based on privilege.
When you flatten us to all the same, you're assuming the privilege to flatten as if there are things, bulky and bumpy that others should let be flattened at your nod....like culture, language, mores and values that might not jibe with white folk....like the pernicious attitude of black Americans to wage war on countries far away.
When you flatten with the hand of white privilege, what are you flattening us to? Just Americans, but wait most of us minorities have only bern full, legal Americans by law for two generations and America's greatest profit to the estimated tune of 27 $ trillion dollars in unpaid work hasn't even been aligned to reparations yet hence the pockets of poverty, illness and faulty education throughout all minorities in America, all, including white minorities. To flatten to a default of....white?
Imagine, maybe, shocking and titty twisting as this might be maybe many of us dont want to be white.
Flattened folk from the white folk is passive racism and privilege.
What privilege?
You can wander in neighborhoods and your concern are the residents personal human crap not the full weight of the government through law enforcement stalking you, questioning you.
Go to a black or even an Asian neighborhood and wait for the police car to stop and ask if you're lost.
It's the constant suspicion, the fear of the suspicion, the confusion of the reality of possible suspicion.

Minority groups in America have such a confounded time with white minority folk....whooopsie you do know you're raced and the minority too, right?....because there's such a Susie Q blindness and blitheness. Not because of your character, which you think we're talking about when j'accuse racism.....no were talking about your actions.
How Real Is Race?

Look around your Thanksgiving table, look at your family album, or do this pick up your phone and see how many black you can invite to your home.
We're scoring not by your self congrats but by other races estimation of your level of white racism, the same way dogs are used to sniff out folk.
White folk, it probably seems like no matter what you do, how hard you work, the light in your heart you can't catch a break with the minorities surrounding you, huh?
Sound familiar? LOL
