Not just assume that a white employee at Coca-Cola is oppressive because they're white and tell them to be less of what they are unfairly assumed to be. We shouldn't assume that someone is hard working and responsible because they are white, nor should we assume that someone is not hard working and irresponsible because they're black. Being less white doesn't mean anything because being white doesn't mean anything. We are all individuals.
The Grand Nudger rebutted me in the past by saying that no one is shitting on white people, and then he turns around here and endorses a message telling whites to be less white. I was taught by the time I was in kindergarten that judging people based on their race is wrong, and that has stuck with me through the years and will continue to. If being against racism is seen as radical, then we're living in pretty sad times.
Um, if being white doesn’t mean anything then why did you just post that you try to be more white like it actually does mean something?

I need to be more successful like other whites, more responsible, more confident, more innovative. Whites invented airplanes and took man to the moon. Whites were the first to end slavery and sacrificed their lives to free the slaves. Whites are a beautiful people.
Whites do have accomplishments and are pretty big winners when you look at world history. They invented the computers we are using to communicate with. They conquered shit. They founded the greatest superpower in world history. That doesn't mean I did those things. I don't have pride in being white because whites invented computers. Being white is an accident of birth. I didn't accomplish anything by being born white.
Whites per capita are more responsible and more successful than some groups, and are less so than other groups. Whites are somewhere in the middle. Asians are harder workers per capita. I appreciate all races and see good in all of them. I judge people as individuals. Like I posted before, to be less white means nothing.
