White Culture

[Wanderfound]

Part of the problem here relates to something I’ve posted previously:

It’s important not to decontextualise and draw a false equality between whiteness and Blackness. Blackness was created as a response to cultural genocide and oppression; it is a justifiable and often admirable thing. Whiteness, OTOH, was created as a means of facilitating genocide and plunder. There is no common cultural bond linking white people apart from collaboration in the subjugation of non-white people.

They aren’t equivalent.

I’m reminded of a conversation I had with my Mum when I was very small.

Me: “There’s a Father’s Day and a Mother’s Day, why isn’t there a Children’s Day?”

Mum: “Every day is Children’s Day”.
