Accept this. It's true. It's not going to change.

"Metzl finds that some white Americans would rather die than betray the politics of their identity."

Metzl: If you are a part of an allied government, are you really going to want to share your most important intelligence with the United States government, recognizing that there are people who are at central notes in our government who are so sympathetic to our adversaries?

The book Dying Of Whiteness by Dr. Jonathan Metzl gives a great insight into people who think like the father in this story.

You think Metzl is a “liberal?”

Vanderbilt Prof @jonathanmetzl.bsky.social has done extensive research on how the seemingly-addictive need to soothe social identity often leads to maladaptive and self-harming behaviour.

Highly recommend reading his work.

Finally finished it this week.

I grew up a white working class kid in 1970s and '80s Richmond.

Then went to work in weather, environmental science, and media in the mid '90s.

It is an important read.

But nothing in this book truly surprised me.

Disappointed? Yes.

Surprised? No.

We’re out here Dying of Whiteness (Johnathan M. Metzl) and taking everyone else with us.

White supremacy ruins everything.

anyone wanting to learn more, PLEASE get into Dying of Whiteness by Jonathan Metzl. PLEASE!
So you’re saying that healthcare in the USA isn’t allowed because it means Black ppl would be able to access it as well. And poor white ppl don’t mind not having healthcare to spite the Black community?

No book better explains Trumpism than “Dying of Whiteness.” Metzl finds exactly what you’re saying: white people would prefer to suffer than see POC thrive alongside whites.

A certain category of my fellow white people (cough MAGA/white supremacists cough) are really 100% in the cut off own nose to spite face camp.

There's a chilling case study on basically this in DYING OF WHITENESS by physician Jonathan Metzl, a book I think all white Americans should read.
The most common age for a Black person in the USA, is ~27 years old.

The most common age for a white person in the USA, is ~58 years old.

Old people need more healthcare.

So you would think that white people in the US would prefer policies that lead to more nurses and providers?

But no.🤷🏿‍♂️
