pinning this reply bc ppl responded to the wording of this one better but this is what i was trying to say i'm against (w this limited word limit n all). muted bye guys xx
@PAGANSPARROWS Every white person is the same under white supremacy dawg. That's kinda the whole deal with being white. Like Europeans can and will erase their own unique cultural differences to bond over anti-blackness and join in on the benefits of being white under white supremacy anywhere
european nations all have their own distinct cultural identity and we are upset you guys want us all to pretend to be the same just because we have the same skin tone. if you think the only thing that matters is your complexion your argument is rooted in white supremacy
ok q&a is over i've clarified Everything i believe but lastly "you guys" = americans and not black people. especially white americans bc they r culture vultures that want to leach off of other cultures n are desperate for the existence of a "collective white culture". i'm also

@Uzi09_23@autumn_jon32442 i respect that but i never said anything abt a specific race or group of ppl doing this so i was a bit confused by the reactions. if anything white americans do this more than anyone bc they have no culture (unlike black americans) n want to take credit for ours
@autumn_jon32442@Uzi09_23 the whole issue is that i'm saying exactly what you're saying and that we shouldn't identify as just "white" or believe in white unity in order to combat this n u're acting like i'm denying racism. i don't understand that train of thought i'm sorry?
@Uzi09_23 this is exactly the point i was trying to make n maybe i didn't word it as well as you did but what i meant is that by identifying as "white" instead of your ethnicity you're reinforcing this. anyways i only responded to state i agree, have a nice day!
@yohohosuke47933@toniv3rse giannis continues to identify as greek, reps the flag and lives here despite having enough money to completely leave if he wants. the discrimination he has faced is terrible but do u not see how not calling him greek is what the racists wants n not what he wants?
@yohohosuke47933@toniv3rse my argument is that i feel closer to ppl who r culturally like me n that being white can only unite racist freaks. i'm not saying nobody is a racist freak in greece nor am i saying i experience racism or that black people don't?
@ryanzeds@sincerelylenaa which is precisely why i'm saying i reject the concept of a "united white europe"? you can argue the situation is too bad to be fixed (although i disagree w just Giving Up) but none of this contradicts what i'm saying?
@marznotforu also my og tweet is not targetting anyone but americans. which includes white americans n excludes poc from any other country. once again just clarifying
@marznotforu identifing as white enables and strengthens racism and the oppression you mentioned which is why i'm against it. i respect disagreeing w me (& i'm open to hearing u out!) but please do not take this as me prioritising interpersonal oppression bc that's not what i said nor meant
@Reginald_the2nd i feel like you're purposefully missing the point. my point is that if we want to counter this we need to abolish the idea of a monolithic white europe bc it does nothing but reinforce white supremacy aka what my initial tweet stated
@Reginald_the2nd but the concept of whiteness is 100% self serving and only exists to make sure poc remain enslaved in one way or another. my best interest does not align w white america's n they want me to believe it does in order to Be Racist
@Reginald_the2nd ok child left behind let me dumb this down for u: greeks were not considered white in the usa up until black ppl got electorial rights. they did this in order to increase the number of "whites" so that we would always vote against black ppl. we do not experience racism obviously
@Reginald_the2nd i never said anything to downplay the discrimination black ppl face on the daily. my point is that a "united europe" is a nazi talking point that's meant to create an "us vs them" mentality.
@Reginald_the2nd because the whole point of that is the idea that all whites are one and the same regardless of what language the speak, where they're from, etc. and even if u don't believe in the supremacy part u're still feeding into the rest of that delusion
