A lot of “bad things” happen in the world, I get that. However, many of them (I’d contend all, but I try to avoid generalizations as much as possible since all it takes is one single example to prove them wrong) are the result of white supremacist, capitalist, patriarchal colonialism. Other bad things that are not the result of this white supremacist colonialism might happen but I’d be hard pressed to find one, especially given the last six or seven hundred years of history. So, your request (I don’t know how to call it) to not name the oppressor as “white” would erase the realities created by this colonial history. I am going to take a wild guess that you are white and you think this naming personally implicates you? If that’s the case, sorry, but I write about this and use the naming that fits.\u00a0<\/p>\n
