A thinkin-man’s Indica. Cathartic, deep, profound… I got something off my chest that I’ve been carrying around for way too long.

let everything simmer until epiphanies develop

Once white people are a minority, white supremacists are going to see a lot of their worst fears come true. White power will become obsolete; no longer part of the conversation that will determine the future of humans. This is what they are trying to avoid and is also the inevitable result of their efforts.

The shift in racial, religious, ethnic ratios is just part of the natural ebb and flow of evolution. But rather than weave ourselves into the fabric of humanity, White Greed has motivated the unnatural murder, suppression, and trauma of these "other" groups for hundreds and hundreds of years. And these actions will be the cause of the downfall, not what prevents it. The irony is thick.

Psychological warfare, fear, rewriting of history - these are powerful weapons and have worked to aid colonizers to do what they do best; take without asking, and keep without sharing. But nature always collects her balance in the end and I predict the final notice is about to be served.

And even if you're not a white supremacist actively working to eliminate groups with different physical features than your own, there are way too many people who still behave as if their privilege is a birthright... or those who don't even think about their privilege that much at all. White people as a whole fucked up by not recognizing and addressing these tendencies early on. If we're not actively working to right the wrongs of those who came before us, if we’re not doing everything we can to restore balance and fairness in ways we're fully capable of, then we've signaled to the changemakers that our contributions are ineffectual at best, destructive at worst. Our conduct must demonstrate credibility first, if we want to take part in the conversations that future, cooperative societies will be built from.

…

White supremacists' panic is based on fact: eradication of the "white race" is inevitable, simply from a biological perspective. But what I can't understand is why, knowing this, they would continue to cling to an idea of "greatness" through force and suppression… like if you’re so great, why would you need to force people to say it? By insisting on this as the only way, they're ensuring their legacy will become nothing but a cautionary tale as soon as we evolve into inclusive beings at last.
