Also the family you live in, the community you live in, and what role whiteness plays in that.” “Part of the structure of racism … is to keep us from recognizing that racism is part of our daily lives.” Toporek says.“So it’s a longer term process of looking at your understanding of yourself in the world, both historically but also contextually. Toporek explains that “exploring white racial identity” is in fact “a lifelong process.” No matter how much you work on that there’s still almost even more work to be done.” A woman from Oklahoma decries her home town for having whiteness as the “default.” She says that she’s “really realizing how deeply rooted racism is into, like, every day thought process. The video goes on to show interviews and clips with white people who are on the way to “becoming self-aware” as white people, and internalizing those values of antiracist practice. “There’s like an awakening that happens,” but “what they do with it is really the next piece of it.”Įllis chimed in that “understanding your whiteness is integral to becoming self-aware as a white person.” Rebecca Toporek, associate professor in the Department of Counseling at San Francisco State University, said events like Floyd’s death make white people - only the Good Ones, though - “get aroused” and “get upset.” That truth aside, another individual, Resmaa Menakem, who peddles an ideological snake-oil called “ somatic abolitionism,” offered the usual hokum about “structural racism.”Ī reputed expert in trauma among blacks, Menakem claimed that “there were thousands of George Floyds before” the lifelong criminal died after he overdosed on fentanyl, having first resisted arrest.įor the record, Menakem’s website explains that “nearly all of our bodies … are infected by the virus of white-body supremacy.” That virus “was created by human beings in a laboratory - the Virginia Assembly, in 1691 - then let loose upon our continent.” In fact, “white supremacy” doesn’t affect “all of us ” in the mainstream, it’s a figment of the leftist imagination. The show opens with Ellis’ intoning that the self-inflicted death of drug addict George Floyd was the “first time that white people were becoming aware of their whiteness” and the “systemic ways that white supremacy affects all of us.” Its reporter watched it so you don’t have to. The Post Millennial helpfully provided a detailed synopsis of the tape. The latest episode of "The New Normal" released by the Washington Post urges white people to feel “shame,” and educate one another via “white accountability groups.” /Z1gEr7HTt6- The Post Millennial June 21, 2021
