THE MYTH OF ANTI-WHITENESS: WHEN TELLING THE TRUTH IS MISCHARACTERIZED AS ATTACKING

[Guno צְבִי]

Either America will destroy ignorance or ignorance will destroy the United States.” – W.E.B. DuBois



For far too many years white voices have been the only voices that have been considered legitimate in American discourse about race. The opinions, views, scholarship and lived experiences of non-whites have been considered illegitimate by whites for most of American history. Even now, many white people consider anything written or said that exposes the actions of whites that clearly demonstrates their discriminatory acts towards non-whites as an “anti-white” message.


There are some very hard truths that some people refuse to accept. As a result, a line of demarcation has been drawn in this country based on race. On one side of the line are white people who claim America has never or not in recent times done anything wrong to people of color – while on the other side – are people of color who possess a lifetime of experiences and copious evidence to the contrary.

What I find amazing is that for most of American history white people were not ashamed of their unabashed racism and discrimination against people of color, speaking clearly and articulating in writing that they were doing exactly what some white people today claim they never did. White people did not feel compelled to lie, simply because they felt completely within their “rights” and justified in mistreating people of color. They were open and honest about being racists and discriminating on purpose.

Virginia State Senator Carter Glass proclaimed that the voting laws passed in 1902 would “eliminate the darkey as a political factor in this State in less than five years, so that in no single county of the Commonwealth will there be the least concern felt for the complete supremacy of the white race in the affairs of government.”

“First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.”
