the ruling class are white supremacists because they happen to be white.

and “white” is anyways an invented term. if “white” did not exist, they could easily invent being “white” to help them create class collaborators that happen to be “white”. something something about convincing poor whites that they’re better than poor blacks etc etc

but because being white exists and they’re white, they are white supremacists.

also don’t tell me to read settlers i can’t read (i assume settlers is about white supremacy but i can’t prove it because i’ve never read a book in my entire life)

    You mean the ruling class propagates bigotry as a ‘laying of emotional groundwork’ so they then have more pull among the artificially privileged (usually the majority) which they can use to back their rule? I’ve always found it interesting how much the anti-bigotry groups seem to propagate “inverse” bigotry (“rich white men” being the problem), I feel overly cynical to say that they are spearheaded by the same ruling class who are responsible for the current state of bigotry but it really feels like it sometimes.

    I don’t actually agree that the ruling class are white supremacists because they are white, they continue white supremacy because it benefits them (because they are white), but I’m not convinced that the ruling class would be white if not for white supremacy, at least in the US people have been migrating long enough that without racism I don’t think the ruling class would be near ethnically homogenous.

    I’m just rambling but you can’t read so I don’t have to feel bad about it.
