We've all heard the idea of switching "black" to "white" in all the woke news stories we've seen. Imagine taking these ads and replacing "jew" with "white" and "anti-Semitism" with "anti-whiteness" and "Israel" with "the United States." It would be glorious.
Think Youtube would allow the identical ad, but with jew <==>white and Israel <==> United States?
You've been there.
You saw that offensive meme depicting a cunning white person being shared around.
You sat in the room when someone made a joke about the white people.
You've heard someone on the news talking about white people having too much power.
You've been judged and rejected for speaking out on the United States' right to exist and live in peace.
We're used to thinking about anti-whiteness as unhinged violence, but here's the underlying truth: Today's anti-whiteness is growing under the radar, prospering in social media, where many, knowingly and unknowingly, spread small crumbs of darkness.
Yet it is still white hate.
Simply put.
Baseless hatred that is internalized all around us.
The spreading and growing of anti-whiteness, including the denial of the white people's right to manifest their nationality in the United States, is based on false tropes and stereotypes that feed on fears.
It's dangerous and leads to hatred, bias, and violence and intolerance that goes far beyond targeting whites alone.
We can't be the ones allowing this darkness to spread.
When in a group of people listen to what others or even yourself might be saying.
Before you share something online, pay attention to the content.
What starts as a burden for whites quickly becomes a dark cloud over all of us.
The darkness of anti-whiteness, the baseless hatred of white people, only dissolves when you shine a light on it.
You're the one who can call it out.
You're the one who can change the conversation.
Together we can make a difference and dispel the darkness of hate.

Shine your light on anti-whiteness and white hate and share that light with all you know.
