In less than a hundred years we went from a generation that stormed the beaches of Normandy to a generation that runs to their safe space because of a flier. There's a reason millennials are considered a generation of cry babies.
The only people I see promoting white solidarity are red neck white trash types that people don't want for neighbors.
My "red neck" neighbors are very good neighbors. They mow their lawn, don't commit crime that I know of, and help me when I need it. The housing values for a block of rednecks like them stay plenty stable.
In all seriousness, the batty Left thinks that it is both possible and non-toxic to combat the "concept" of "whiteness". In reality, "white" is not a concept but a physiologically-linked racial identifier for a group of people with specific genes and genetic distance from other groups. It's no different from "Jew" (for 99% of Jews, being closely related genetically) or any other word whose actual meaning refers to a connected genetic group rather than a "concept" or "construct". The Left may as well be attempting to rid the world of the "concepts" of the Cro-Magnon or Neanderthal species.
In reality, "white" is now too socially broad to have a large amount of genetically referential meaning, but it still does. The Left makes a further mistake when it assumes that "White" will continue to socially broaden in meaning and continue to depart from a meaningful genetic referent, as it sort of has in the past to encompass the Irish and Italians. There is Leftist hope that Mestizos and Arabs will eventually be seen as White. They won't. "White" has hit a social wall for how far its meaning will expand.
That the Left thinks of "white" as a concept or "construct" is really just a political tactic that arises out of the logic that constructs are extinguishable while genetics are not extinguishable outside of genocide.
Thus, assuming that they don't literally want to rid the world of Caucasians / indigenous Europeans, unmixed Nordics, Celts, or whatever you want to call these groups, they think that getting people to stop assigning value to the "concept" of "White" will solve the world's ills.
Because "white" is not a concept but a genetically referential group identifier, in reality what would happen is that new, equivalent value would be re-assigned to whatever new identifier these people would take after "white" hypothetically loses meaning. That word does not even have to have a physiological referent like "white" does for a phenotype that falls within the parameters of what is generally held to be "white" (it is not just skin-tone). You can call them purple martians, and eventually "purple martians" will take on the old meaning of "White" because, even though semantic identity would be eradicated on the level of formal census and discourse, group culture and behavior rooted in that close genetic distance could not be eradicated and the people who engage in it would eventually be assigned a unique identifier. That natural social mechanism will never be stymied. In addition, unless that new identifier is exclusive, it will also lose meaning and another word will take its place.
In short, trying to eradicate "whiteness" is toxic because 1. it is futile and 2. it causes large scale resentment and national division. Last, 3. we are not actually likely to revert to new terminology but rather retreat into older, more exclusive forms of tribalism having to do with much more specific genetic groupings. In other words the "concept" of "white" was a liberal social victory that they are now risking in full because they don't know when to quit; behavior that is not at all different from a degenerate gambling habit.
My "red neck" neighbors are very good neighbors. They mow their lawn, don't commit crime that I know of, and help me when I need it. The housing values for a block of rednecks like them stay plenty stable.
I've had different experiences with rednecks. No redneck has ever mowed my lawn. I've been assaulted by people who are adherents to the redneck subculture. I've been called racial slurs by people who have that kind of subculture in them.
BTW, I live in a block where there are no "rednecks". Plenty of people who are southerners, who are country, but they are not what you might call "rednecks". Home values remain stable where I live.
