We all must stand against supremacy, supremacists - letter by Sara Rushing

Found here. Our comments in bold.

Contrary to the author's statements, it is not ok to be white, and someone saying that it is ok to be white is not automatically being a white supremacist. But of course, the author is content to simply make her assertions as if they were self-evident. This is how the typical leftist functions.

We, however, will document our claims. A quick Google search "white people evil" yields these top results:

• Why are white people so evil and barbaric?
• Teen Vogue Writer: "All White People are Evil"
• Whites are the Source of All Evil
• Why are White People the Most Evil
• Almost All White People are Inherently Racist
• White Men Must be Stopped

She claims, White people have never been told that whiteness is anything other than superior. This is spectacularly false. Whites are typically blamed for every problem in the world today. Whites are routinely shouted down, they are told they are exercising "white privilege," and they are expected to pay reparations. Clearly whites are being told it is not ok to be white.

Ironically, the author herself admits that being white is bad. Whites have the advantage of a system of power and privilege that advantages white people simply for being white, and has shaped up historically in ways that subjugate non-white peoples in more (slavery, genocide) or less (implicit bias) brutal ways.

The overwhelming majority of whites do not fit this description. The overwhelming majority of Americans reject participating in any system that unfairly advantages any race. The overwhelming majority of people simply have no desire to hate or oppress anyone.

Last point. A white person is like any other person. It's ok to be who they are, including their skin color. Their skin color, like any other skin color, does not speak to their character, work ethic, morality, generosity, emotional state, or intelligence. 

Leftists need to have the same attitude about whites as they do for any other race. The fact they don't means, hmm, they're racist.

Last week, posters reading, “It’s OK to be white” dotted MSU’s campus (Chronicle, 11/3). Inside Higher Ed reported similar posters were found at universities across the country, representing an effort likely coordinated on 4Chan, a site known for white supremacist organizing.

Such postering is a way of testing a campus community: Are there people sympathetic to the message, who might be recruited to the cause? Will the campus push back, fueling claims of white persecution and free speech suppression? The answer to the second question is no. MSU is (unfortunately) well-versed in addressing such events, consistently conveying intolerance for racism while recognizing that it’s more likely to die out through campus-wide critical dialogue. I hope the answer to the first question is no.

The insidiousness of the statement “It’s OK to be white,” however, is that it sounds obvious. It is obvious. White people have never been told that whiteness is anything other than superior. And, clearly, our skin color is not something we can change, or are responsible for. What we can change, and what we can take responsibility for, is white supremacy: a system of power and privilege that advantages white people simply for being white, and has shaped up historically in ways that subjugate non-white peoples in more (slavery, genocide) or less (implicit bias) brutal ways.
