White Narcissism: The Cycle of the White-Lash

1. White Narcissism! How original!

I really think people identify primarily as some immutable or esoteric "identity" primarily, if not almost exclusively, because they have nothing else to identify themselves. Even the idea that you have to identify yourself as "something" is brutal on the soul and a rookie philosophical error.

Honestly, when I watch people who very clearly identify themselves as something, I feel pity for their mistake, and I wish they would wise up and free themselves from themselves (and the other groupthinkers). Don't hang out with bad company. Don't be bad company for yourself.

Read 10 books, write a computer program, build a birdhouse, run a 5K. You'll find you're no longer black or white. You'll no longer be a sexual orientation. You'll be a reader, a programmer, and a bird lover and, as a bonus, gloriously undefined and free.

Yes, the grifter fangs will also detach from your neck. You'll need neck makeup while the holes heal. It's a small price to pay.
