It appears that the answer is nothing.  Nothing can be done by a white person to prove to a black person that they aren't a white supremacist.  We white American folk are all painted with that same brush.

Noting how you guys fall in line to twist my words. Lol..You just can't help yourselves, can you?
You think Black people don't recognize that sort shit for what it is? 

I never said that all White Americans are White Supremacists; I stated that even most kindly, sympathetic Whites are complicit with WS whether they believe they are/intend to be not, because most of them do not understand nor want to understand the nature of the beast. That lack and uwillingness makes most of you ill-equipped to "take on the system", in my book. 

Don't like that? Stay mad.
ZERO fucks given.

So, in what way could a white person ‘take on the system’ that might convince you they are NOT complicit?

And before you snap at me again or accuse me of something I’m not doing, I’m asking because you’re much better able to understand the issue that I am (since I’m neither black nor American). This isn’t a trick question, it’s an attempt to dialogue.

I am not mad.  I have read this thread multiple times in an attempt to understand.  

You are very well-spoken but there is something I am missing, apparently.

Don't assume I am mad - I haven't twisted words, I spoke back with my take...if I am wrong then explain to me how I am wrong.

And that 'fall in line' shit is painting us all with the same brush...kind of like white folk saying all the brown folk look alike to them.

At this point - Zero fucks from here too.  I will find someone to ask with a smaller chip on their shoulder.

No, it's not all black people, the same as it's not all white people. This is just Athene and Huggy Bear. Neither are representative of anyone I know.

Fuxxake, I was just asking. It isn’t a loaded question. Try to be a little less paranoid and a little more polite.

Good luck with that. I don't know why I entered yet another conversation with this one thinking there was any chance of a reasonable, honest discussion. Her posts are only ever a lengthy rant or a dismissive, flippant sentence or two, if that. She never honestly responds to anything. If you disagree with her, your stupid and don't understand because you're too pale to get it.

You mean like 90% of other black people? She doesn't want to clarify her position because it's no more nuanced than "You're white, so you either are a white supremacist or are okay with white supremacy."

Trust me, no one here wants me to really go in on complicity. I lurk here way more than I post and I've got a very good memory. 

I could provide especially astonishing and fairly recent fodder for case study in complicity from the AF archives involving key naysayers in this thread. However, I've been hesitant to put that shit on blast, because believe it or not, I'm actually being nice and am giving folks the benefit of the doubt in assuming that most of the Good Whites here are unintentional in their complicity.

So quit pushing, okay?

Best to go with the knowledge that I think you guys generally have a blind spot when it comes to sussing WS shit out, and leave it at that. If you accept that my premise is plausible and sincerely wish to learn how to address that blind spot, I don't believe I can actually help you with that. Maybe try actually listening to AF's unofficial Unicorn sometime and/or doing some reading on your own or whatever, and perhaps you'll have better odds of "receiving" whatever it is you wish to understand.

With that said...Good luck and godspeed, Good White Folks! 
Those who fight for justice and freedom from oppression are counting on you. I mean, obviously I'm not...but I'm sure there are plenty who are.

Nice dodge. Clumsy, but nice.  I won’t trouble you for your opinion again.
