re: The Smithsonian has made a helpful graphic explaining how to identify Whiteness.

In fact, you could post the same list on a pro-White website to tout the virtues of White culture.

You're right, of course, that this list seems positive and something that should be aspirational to all people.

However, to glimpse the intent of the people who put it up, I'd suggest that if someone did post this to a "pro-white" website, and then someone else pointed it out to the Smithsonian people, they would take this down with the quickness.

It’s all true except the Scientific Method part.

Please, make it stop.

Who the hell wrote this? It has to be a troll like the kid who called in the Korean pilot names. It’s a virtual road map to success.

I recently lost a friend who is good friends and neighbors with her. Shes a fraud. I told her as much. She makes money telling white people why they're terrible people.

Can I get a copy of this to hang up in my son's room? Even if he only partially adheres to the tenets on the whiteness poster, then I'm proud to announce ahead of time to all of you, his future fellow members of society, that he's going to be a team player in his contributions to the betterment of our society.

I'd be interested to know what the "majority rules (when Whites have power)" means?

Also, whomever made this poster should be canceled because they capitalized the "w" in "White." Not only is it offensive, but it's a fallacy because "Black" is capitalized because it's a shared experience as one entity, and therefore it's completely valid to capitalize it like you capitalize the "d" and "w" in Disney World: "Black" means the same shared experience, and any accompanying blanket statements across the board can and should be made for all 44 million black Americans. Nasty things like individualism and politeness, progress and planning, family and rational thinking have no place in the Black cultural experience like it does in the white one, and so "white" should not be capitalized because whites don't matter or have anything in common with each other to warrant a sense of community and capitalization.

Furthermore, since whites have no shared, common experiences to validate the capitalization of their filthy race (the word "white" really shouldn't even be spelled out completely at all, e.g., wh-te), the designers of this poster have backed themselves into a corner by insisting whites have commonalities at all. The logical conclusion is that this entire poster must be canceled and its creators sent to the camps, BECAUSE THERE IS NO SHARED wH-TE EXPERIENCE SO WHAT ARE THESE RACISTS TALKING ABOUT???

I'm going to show this to several black folks today and see what they have to say about things like "politeness" being a white thing, or only a white man's status being based upon things like "money and power and intellect."

These people who made this are the real racists.

Downvoting the Fightin' Whities!? After seeing that depth chart?

I can if I wish arrange to be in the company of people of my race most of the time.

black people easily do this. That's why there are gangs.
