      not really imo.

      As a race white ppl have done a lotta bad shit globally. Of course that is not the fault of an individual white person. And sure, sometimes people forget about that last part and treat white people different which is racist. But then again non whites deal with way more racism, so I’m not complaining

        Race isn’t even a good social construct. No doubt people have done truely aweful th8ngs for “the white race” but it doesn’t and never has helped the majority of people stuck in that construct.

          It’s not racism to identify white privilege/historical harms from pro-white racism.

              They’re literal statements about facts and events that have transpired.

              The only way this could be framed as racism is if you deny that white privilege exists and/or that there have been no harms from white supremacy.

              If that’s what you’re claiming, then I suppose that means it would be racist to say the opposite. You’d be completely, egregiously incorrect, but at least that would be an internally consistent worldview. That’s such a ridiculous stance to take that the only logical explanation is that you’re trolling.
