Americans are the obstacles he & his ‘he-men’ fellow traitors hide behind…it’s what makes the sheepishness of would-be real patriots so…useful. Couldn’t hide behind horses like that.
”Whiteness”, OTOH, is fundamental to the slaver mindset: the single most important factor in human affairs is - for them - who they can own, who they can punish, and who they can exterminate without sanction.
Make no mistake: extermination is in the cards for every one or thing that poses any barrier or threat to their desired outcome (white-owned plantations as far as the eye can see in any direction, white profits funding extravagant lifestyles & self-opinions, no opposing views, no ‘melting pot’, no challenging ideas - no advancement, no progress, just smug, satisfied white people enjoying living it up on the dead bodies of the enslaved, the sacrificed, and the simply thrown away).
When they talk about “heritage, not hate”, *THIS* is the heritage they dream of reinhabiting - the heritage of slavery, of aristocracy, the heritage of feudalism…and mostly, it’s true that they don’t ”hate” those they bleed for their ascendancy. Ranchers don’t “hate” cattle, after all - they need them, in exactly the same way slavers need an enslave-able population to expend.
It’s no big intellectual challenge for anyone who ever read three books on entirely different subject, but the fact remains that “whiteness” doesn’t exist, any more than “white culture” exists: light skin was exalted in Japan, China, Aztec Mexico, India - long before European raiders/conquistadors stumbled onto them…and darker skin was vilified - and is *still* looked down on in all those places. Lighter skin joins the aristocracy; darker skin joins the butchers, the gravediggers, the scavengers, the hopeless…and still in practice culturally if not officially. ALL those countries were real effing surprised when ”the light-skinned gods” showed up out of nowhere - and greeted them with swords, muskets, and enslavement instead of hugs and smiles.
Still, it’s hard to place the origins of the myth of whiteness, mostly because of those vastly separated individual manifestations. We can’t pretend it’s a European tradition, though - so we can’t pretend that the dominant Europrejudice is built into it from the start...but the demonically-inspired system of color-coded chattel slavery we have here is ‘our’ innovation; it’s the thing that caught Hitler’s eye - the thing that gave him the vision of Aryan nobility supported by the lives and deaths of uncounted “lesser peoples” like Jews. Bad luck for Adolf that there was no slave trade to take advantage of, so he had to make do with what he had - which were Slavs, Romany, and Jews. Kinda worked for a minute.
