Jemele Hill says 'you're stuck on the faces' if you point out the Memphis cops are all black

Apologies … we already did a post on how Bree Newsome Bass explained that “racism is what policing is” and Jemele Hill added that “the entire system of policing is based on white supremacist violence.” As this editor said, he suspected that “whiteness” would come into the conversation, and it certainly did. Remember back in 2020 when the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History & Culture put up a display on whiteness and white culture, altering black visitors that white people believe in individualism, hard work, objectivity, the nuclear family, progress, respect for authority, and delayed gratification, among other beliefs.

The thing about “whiteness” is it’s not confined to white people. Asian Americans can show a belief in whiteness. Even blacks can fall into the trap of whiteness, which a black board of education member just said is “so evil.” You can take courses to “heal” your inner whiteness.

Bree Newsom Bass is back to talk about whiteness:

Once again— whiteness is an *ideology*

There are some Black people who believe in it more than some white folks 🥴

There are some poor white people out here demanding the abolition of police while some buttoned up Black folk are still desperately trying to preserve their little slice of the white capitalist pie. Always been like that

We’ve been assured that no one has suggested abolishing the police, let alone defunding them.

And here, once again, is Jemele Hill explaining how blacks can support whiteness:

“The entire system of policing is based on white supremacist violence”

So the black cops in my neighborhood are white supremacists?

This is truly shocking.

Just as women sometimes carry the water for misogyny and the patriarchy, Black people have definitely done the same for white supremacy. You’re stuck on the faces. I’m looking at the system and why it was created. https://t.co/010GROq6aK
