Tell me I"m wrong, but I guess the only time race can be used, is to draw majority white districts

If race can't be considered/used, then why are there going to be and currently are, so many white majority districts?

in society.

That being superior, they are the norm, the standard, the primary - meaning society should be built around them and for them with everyone else knowing their place and staying there.

White supremacy is and always has been about white identity - making it identity politics that strives to limit the participation of all others in society, as well as any and all rights, freedoms, privileges, and opportunities afforded.

Being superior, white supremacy tells them they have nothing to demonstrate, nothing to earn, nothing to prove - they're white. That's just the way it is and the way it should be - they're white, it's their world.

It's not hypocrisy - it's the natural order of things.

That's why.

Expecting them to admit to how flawed their thinking is a waste of time. They lose power over others if they concede that white skin being superior is bullshit.

By next year they'll be saying that since racism ended, it's okay to have separate drinking fountains and separate but equal education.
