      mostly because of its construction as a weapon aimed solely at them despite raging over-the-top racism being the normal condition of all people in all places, i imagine

      I suspect that's because of the colonial history of the european powers, the general power imbalance we still see today, and the whole origin of the term "white" as a blanket term. It's not quite as simple as you think.

      But as a weapon? No, it's not a weapon. think of it as a lot of bad karma that past generations of colonial powers dumped on their ancestors.

      one of the ways you can tell white people are racist is that it's so easy to get them to believe in race-coded genetic guilt

      That's not guilt though. It's a lot of cultural baggage to unpack, but what the hell does it have to do with guilt?

      the Western bastardized concept of karma is one of punishment at the universe's hands following from misdeeds. it's literally guilt and consequences

      Well, okay, I was thinking more consequences than guilt, perhaps a poor choice of words. Those in power in the past acted on racist ideals, and the people now have to deal with the fallout. There's nothing metaphysical about it, it's the way things panned out.

      k. probably when it's explained to people that there's nothing condemnatory about the way they're being made accountable for the misdeeds of other, dead people because those people looked kinda like them, it's just the way things went, that will calm everything down

          well that's the fascinating thing here. It's not so much that white people are being made accountable, it's the systems of power which are being made accountable. It's just that for some reason most of the people at the top still look the same. very perplexing.

          almost as if the systems of power are not being materially affected in any way because the only white people who can be damaged by rhetoric about their irredeemable racism are ones who are already vulnerable because those systems of power do approximately squat for them
