Had America not been so racist for so long, btw, "America" could have been the larger, greater thing we all belong to.

But that ship has sailed, and oppressed people publicly attack the idea of America now instead, much to the chagrin of many ppl, most white.

I personally believe the answer is identity politics for white PEOPLE but not for whiteNESS.

Right now we have identity politics for whiteNESS that actually does not serve most white PEOPLE on a material level anymore, or not much.

And thanks to successful rhetorical assault by Team Social Justice, whiteness barely serves white folks psychologically anymore either.

There needs to be a new sustainable idea of Whiteness that doesn't place itself at the center of things. Good luck.

That's the work. Or, as I suggested, we basically find new identity groups for white people.

I'm half-joking but I do kinda wish, say, Italian and Irish people would just quit being white and be Italian or Irish again, lol.
