alliance with white supremacy leads to the actualization of racist mythologies white supremacy once used against those formerly excluded. the lesson for black folk or for anyone seeking liberation is that there can never be alliance with whiteness. assimilation is not simply erasure; it is also conscription into the army of white supremacy, and white supremacy will exploit your ethnic assets (e.g. shared history, art, religion, language) for the furtherance of its aims. there is no limit to the horrors this exploitation will levy against your people or against the direct victims of the latest white supremacist, imperialist, colonist agenda. this hatred will simply beget more hatred not only for the target group but also for the assimilated group, for the assimilated group will be scapegoated in the end.
