A lot of White people want PoC to “join in” and “be friends” and get rid of “separatism”
Meaning they want us to minimize our personal and cultural histories in order to become one, gigantic box o’ nothin’ right alongside them. Personally, White people are doing themselves a disservice. They need to stop acting like they don’t have a culture. Oh, I forgot, they abandoned their cultures in favor of a mass hallucinogen called White Supremacist Culture. Tough shit.
I have a guy in my sociology class who is having a particularly hard time with this. He has admitted to preferring whiteness over his family’s culture, and has admiringly described how his family has stopped speaking Hungarian at home, and how his mother doesn’t cook Hungarian food.
He’s a jackass in other ways, but that White Supremacy is a heady brew.
