The book by J. Sakai, not the type of person, hence the capitalization. There are people who say it’s too divisive.

    If you’re a white worker settler, do what you gotta do to help prove Sakai wrong.

    What even is a modern settler? Modern white Statesians did not come from Europe, they are born in USA. In the same vein there are black Statesians who reject the term “African American,” because they are not born in Africa, and they have very little in common with Africans.

    Obviously to prove Sakai wrong would be to have the whole of white workers to overturn white supremacy and play reparations and surrender power to nonwhite revolutionaries and the colonized.

    Racism is not intrinsic to skin color. It’s ideology. How did China manage to fight Han chauvinism when Han people are 92% of the population? Because there was an organized movement fighting against it instead of saying “Han people are enemies of the revolution because they want to preserve their privilege,” and just leaving it like that.
