I very casually stated that I hate white people. My friend told me I sounded ignorant for hating my own race and that I can’t say I hate white people. And that’s why I hate white people.
Hello! This sounds as if it might be disconcerting for you. As someone in the mental health professional field, I am concerned about these types of statements. if an African America stated they hated black people, or a female said they hated other females, or a LBGTQ community members discussed their hatred for the LGBTQ community it could indicate psychological distress or something like psychic splitting… I understand that “hating white people” is in vogue right now (most especially on social media platforms like tumblr) but there needs to be a distinct differentiation between recognizing power and privilege and internalizing hate-fueled stereotyping.
I would recommend that you work with a therapist in regard to your cognitive dissonance and other sources of distress.
