In a white supremacist society, who is going to stop whites from sticking together?

It sure is convenient if you get to be the one deciding who is an oppressor and who is oppressed. You can place arbitrary moral limits on the oppressor's behavior, while that same behavior is justified for the oppressed.

Even when it doesn't make a lick of sense. Whites sticking together maintains oppression (I guess Ukraine, being ~99% white, is the most oppressive of all), but people of color sticking together gains them freedom. But those are the same thing. If all the people of color gather on one side of the room, away from the whites, then both whites and non-whites will, by necessity, be sticking with their own.
