In response to me naming Nazis, they're sending me "It's ok to be white" memes. Of course it's ok to be white. It's not ok to be a Nazi.

I don't even think it 'OK' to be white. Those of us designated white identity can't exactly stop that, but it is not a point of pride 1/2

Rather, those who -like me- have been assigned white identity have a special obligation to challenge it's construction 2/2

I disagree. It is OK for me to be Irish, Polish, and even Quebecois. Never white. White assignment is a function of white supremacy

It can both be ok to be white and also your responsibility to dismantle cultural whiteness. The assignment isn’t going away even if WS ends.

I'm not so certain on that point. It *shall* exist for some moment, but must necessity decline. It serves no purpose otherwise 1/2

It is possible to expect white people to deconstruct whiteness while not outwardly blaming them for the assignment of whiteness.

It is a duty, yes. That is without doubt.
