Yes, I have read about it and I only came to the realization many years later that I was being stereotyped in that way.

Thanks for responding. Your candidness made it easier for me to be honest as well.

I always think to myself that if white supremacy had just been a little less obtuse. I never would have been left in a situation where I felt as if all I have left is to expose it.

I almost was lost to the “Sunken Place” in which case I would have kept all my experiences growing up with white evangelicals quiet.

But the universe wasn’t having that.

So now, I’m just a biracial/black person with thousands of experiences tied to growing up within the white power structure just dismantling and going off on tangents about it online with brutal honesty.

It’s why you rarely ever hear African Americans who grew up in my socioeconomic situation criticizing it online. I still retained enough of my sanity to remember who I was before white supremacy traumatized me.

My diagnoses is that a lot of transracial adoptees you see are unable to self reflect because to do so is to open trauma and destabilize whatever current coping mechanism they have acquired to deal with past trauma.

I want to stress that my adoptive family was not the cause or origin of the trauma I experienced. They gave me nothing but love and support. It was the white institutions I was placed in and exposed to. This is why I am so vocal about it.

Most average white people have zero control over white supremacy. It is a monster that has gotten out of control. Even if white people on an individual level don’t perpetrate it or engage in it the system runs itself.

I’m not only vocal about dismantling it because of the downright immoral unjustness it has visited on African Americans for 300 years but also because there are a lot of white people I care about too. There is no reason why this insidious force should be controlling the people against their will.

I do not in any real authentic sense believe that most white people genuinely take pleasure in watching black bodies executed on live television. Yet, many of them are at a loss what to do. Other than petition government which hasn’t worked at all up until 2021. For many of them to admit that they don’t like what the government is doing but that there’s nothing they can do about it is akin to admitting they no longer live in a “free democracy.” For many of them it is the bedrock of their belief system. It is the fundamental animating belief of the status quo in the United States. People of color have always been given hints if not outright evidence in their personal lives that this is not a true statement.

White people because they are to maintain the status quo must fundamentally no matter how poor or rich believe this plant of propaganda on the mind.

“You live in a free democracy”
