It has been my experience that white people don't have to meet to decide what they are gonna do. White people have connected the logic of racism (white supremacy) with spirit. I'll give you an example, here are six questions to ask any white person you know about race and let me know what their answers are. My experience is that whenever I'm talking to a white person about race and ask these questions the person eventually says they're not white, even when they initially say they are white. I suspect this is because the closer you get to the truth about racism (white supremacy), what it is and how it functions, the further a white person gets away from being white.
(1) Are YOU White?
-If the person doesn't say they are white you're wasting your time. Don't go for;
(1a) I'm from...
(1b) My mother is...
(1c) My father is...
(1d) There are different degrees of being white...
(1e) My skin is white...(no one's skin is white.
If you go down this road get a chase lounge and a cool refreshing drink...you're gonna be a while. Keep the conversation on what a white person has to do to be white. If you're not a microbiologist how are you qualified to talk about genetics?)
(1f) On my grandmother's sister's side...
(1g) I'm a... (I've heard lots of things such as, a Jew, a Hispanic, a white Hispanic, a Germanic, etc.) Whenever people say these things I always say "yes, but are you white". People know what that means. If they still don't understand you might want to ask question 5.
Go with the 3 identifiers at all times, which are, a white person;
(1) Classifies themselves as white and have been classified as white.
(2) Accepted as white by other people classified as white.
(3) Functions as white in all places and at all times.
If the person says they're white go on to question number 2.
(2) What is a white person?
(2a) Don't follow the skin or the mentality angle. For skin see (1e). A mentality doesn't DO anything. Remember, keep the conversation on function. People can think what they want to. It is words and/or action which is the mistreatment. You can't mistreat someone with your mentality.
(2b) Stay focused on the 3 identifiers. You may have to repeat each one asking each one, individually, to the person that says they are white.
(2c) Let the person answer you.
Go on to question number 3.
(3) When did you find out you were white?
(3a) My experience is whenever the person found out they were white it always surrounds the mistreatment of someone that wasn't white and they were not mistreated. This is the reason I define racism (white supremacy) as mistreatment on the basis of color and/or factors associated with color.
(3b) Stay away from "I was born white..." (doesn't reveal truth)
(3c) Stay away from "I was raised that way..." (doesn't reveal truth)
(3d) Try to find out what happened EXACTLY. What words were used and/or what actions were used that revealed to the person they were white. This is the practical value for being white.
(3e) Let the person answer you.
Go on to question 4. (If you get this far. Usually by now the white person has reached what I call the saturation point. They are feeling they are getting further from being white. They may have to mistreat you by cursing at you, screaming at you, name-calling, hitting you or they may have to go watch Gone with the Wind or a John Wayne movie to feel white again).
(4) How do you know when someone is white?
(4a) See (1e)!
(4b) See (2a)! Don't go for the "mentality" angle.
(4c) Keep your logic on the 3 identifiers at all times.
Go on to question 5. (If you get this far)
(5) Have you ever been mistaken for a non-white person by a person that is classified as white?
(5a) This tell the story about whether the person has been mistreated on the basis of color and/or factors associated with color. If a person has EVER been mistaken for a non-white person by a white person they have been mistreated on the basis of color and/or factors associated with color. Logically speaking, that's the whole purpose.
(5b) This question can also be asked in the process of finding an answer to question 1.
(5c) If the person says "yes", according to the 3 identifiers, the person is non-white, even if the person seems to be functioning as white around you.
(6) What does white people do to replace mistreatment of people based on color with justice.
(6a) Use the definition of justice as "guaranteeing that no person is mistreated and guaranteeing the person that needs the most help gets the most help". (I have found that any other definition is easily picked apart by white people)
(6b) Focus the conversation on words and/or actions. (Don't go for the "you have to believe" mentality)
(6c) This is really where you want to take the conversation, finding how to get out of the prison of injustice (racism/white supremacy). Only the warden or the guards can tell you that.
Here are some tips to use when talking to white people.
(1) Use the least amount of words possible. (you will see that very quickly the white person will start to answer you in less than 5 words)
(2) Conversation format of your words and/or actions;
(2a) Use your poker face. (Try not to have a lot of expressions. White people read these very well.)
(2b) Make a response (Be brief. I will usually say "that's interesting"), make a brief statement, ask a question. (Always end in asking a question.
Ask these 5 questions, if you can, and notice the response of white people when you want to find out what words and/or actions are necessary to use in order to be white. White people generally have what I call an allergic reaction to non-white people asking questions about racism (white supremacy) and how it functions. Inmates aren't supposed to ask a guard about how the prison is maintained, in terms of blueprint.
Ask these questions to as many white people as you can and you'll begin to see just how connected white people are. You will not believe your ears nor your eyes. Take you time. If you need any assistance let me know. I'm trying to get out of this prison as well.
