RACE TRAITOR treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity r a C e traitor Editors' note: While we did not write the following essay, we agree with the writer's point of view journal of the new abolitionism The White Anti-Racist Is an Oxymoron: An Open Letter to "White Anti-Racists" By Tamara K.

Jarvis Dupont @JarvisDupont Follow Taking a walk around my family's estate today, I am harshly reminded how privileged white people are.
