You are confusing this with the "see no white supremacism, hear no white supremacism, speak no white supremacism" respectability politics that has been the default camouflage of liberal political establishments throughout the (so-called) "Cold War" up till today.
And no - they are still at it today.
Same thing.
"Race isn't real" provides cover for less blatant forms of racism, especially institutional bias. Also, it's an obviously stupid philosophy.
No, they are not. White supremacism is very real - if you exist in the colonized world (as both of us do) it's so real that it literally dictates everything about your reality. That is why we say places like the US (and places like Canada, South Africa or Israel) is fundamentally white supremacist.
Race itself isn't real and has never been - apart from a reasonable command of the English language and our place on the racialized caste system dictated by white supremacism, me and you have absolutely nothing in common. In our fundamentally white supremacist world, it's the latter that is socially constructed as important in our respective societies. That doesn't make our (supposed) "race" any more biologically real.
lol
I can't imagine the mindset of someone so divorced from reality. It must be like living in a cult.
Sure, Clyde... the colonialist genocides that created the world you exist in isn't real - it's just a product of the fevered imaginations of leftist. Nothing to worry about.
Now just carry on as normal and continue to believe the cheap labor that built everything around you with cheap resources was all conjured up with liberal fairy magic instead. Go be white.
