in my time as an anti-white agitator, i've seen white folks substitute or confuse condemnation of thier membership in the white race in various social situations for condemnation of the white race as a political act (mind you, most of these people are otherwise political white folk). when i try to point out the difference--some listen, most pretend like they don't hear what i'm saying, and a few become a little hostile.
What is the difference between acknowledging white privilage and renouncing the white race? Is renouncing the white race simply going a step further than acknowledging white privilage, or is this something entirely different?

What happens to the individual identity of a white kid when he denounces his race? Does it transform from white to human then?
This topic is important to me. I have been attending an American literature course which deals with race, and one of our goals is to continue developing a language which can be used to discuss race.
