White = nothing
It just hit me for real. It is absolutely nothing. What in the fucking hell is “White”?
It’s this false identity built off of oppression, blood, conquest and worldwide destruction. It is rooted in absolute racism. It’s like a big room with ashes blowing around inside of it, but no one can find the source of the wind.
No effing wonder so many of my mixed friends feel some type of way about saying they’re “part White” and “part Chinese” or “part Black” or what have you. Whiteness is literally nothing. It is an insignia of death. There’s no culture there. No life. Just nothing.
I always pondered why my mixed friends who say “I’m part Black and part Italian” or “part Irish and part Korean” had a bit different, a bit more positive experience in their mixedness than those who said they were part White. Whiteness is nothing. Italian is a culture. Irish is a culture. Scottish is a culture. French is a culture.
But what is White? A dustbowl of death.
