Why Can’t We All Just Be Individuals?: Countering the Discourse of Individualism in Anti-racist Education
Author(s): DiAngelo, Robin J | Abstract: Over many years as a white person co-facilitating anti-racism courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels and in the workplace for majority white participants, I have come to believe that the Discourse of Individualism is one of the primary barriers...escholarship.org
"So what was Sue and Bill's point? In my experience, when white people insist on Individualism in discussions about racism, they are in essence saying:
My race has not made a difference in my life, so why do we have to talk about race as if it mattered? It is talking about race as if it mattered that divides us. I don't see myself as a member of a racial group; you shouldn't see me that way either. In fact, by saying that my group membership matters, you are generalizing. Generalizing discounts my individuality; unless you know me, you can't profess to know anything about my life and all of the ways I am unique relative to any one else. Further, as an individual I am objective and view others as individuals and not as members of racial groups. For example, if I were hiring I would hire the best person for the job no matter what their race was. Racism will disappear when we all see each other as individuals. In fact, it has disappeared because I already see everyone as individuals—it's just misguided people such as yourself who refuse to see everyone as an individual and thus keep racism alive."

DCAllAfrican , you can tell with how he was responding, that he has supporters on here. It is quite obvious that they only have his back in private.
When are you going to pay him a visit? He invited you to go hunting with him right?
Nope.. You just think you something really special. You are a narcissist. Your words show this.
