Because grouping an entire race of people under one umbrella-like view is racist.
Easy way to tell is just sub the race mentioned for another race. “I will never trust a black man from now until the day I die.” Does that sound OK to you?
Do you realize that right now, being a white man protects you. This means that you have an obligation to stand up for others.
Any straight cis white man who does not disavow this regime and doesn’t do their damnedest to protect POC and LGBT is a fellow traveler. Unlike your trans and black friends, you aren’t going to get mowed down in the streets by cops. You have to use the privilege of safety, the privilege of being allowed to be who you are and listened to, to fight for others.
I’m trying to give the benefit of a doubt to Liberal white men but you gotta look at it from my perspective as a black man here. Look at every fucked up action that’s been done in the last couple of years. And who provided the majority of support for Trump.
Whiteness has directly been used as an oppressive force on a global scale for as long as been an identifiable thing. You can’t say the same about any other color or race.
As long as people in large numbers are actively unifying behind the flag of whiteness and using it to dominate others, I think it’s acceptable to prejudge members of that group.
This is why decent white people should be doing everything they can’t to stop this use of whiteness.
I’m trans, if a large percentage of trans people were unifying behind and using transness to consolidate power to dominate and exploit cis people (in a make believe world where there’s enough trans people to do this), I’d expect cis people to have an inherent distrust of trans people.
Not trying to argue the degree of oppression which whiteness has caused across the globe and through time. White men specifically are the goats of oppression, no doubt. I’m not trying to defend them or anything like that.
But grouping a… “class” of people, white, black, man, woman, American, gay, short, overweight, idk pick a characteristic, is just not right.

I disavow this regime!!.. is it all fixed now?
I hope YOU realize that accusing every white person you see of being horribly racist and isn’t doing enough only pushes them further to the right.
No Adolf, when you put it that way it’s pretty fucked up.
Not convinced you aren’t a right wing plant trying to push people further right

White women. That is the majority of Trump’s base.
