ehhhhh I see where you’re coming from with this but I’ve never seen a version of this that doesn’t end up being “no race mixing” lite

deputizing every white person to identify Elements Of Black Culture and demand they be extirpated from white society is just not the move

But yeah with the way most people act and movements form and whatnot odds are it would just turn into racism

I guess, but there isn’t really an “acting white” that hasn’t been influenced by black culture, except for maybe pre-1950 New England. like yeah rap is black. but rock and roll is also black. And jazz is black, and blues is black, and gospel is black. And all the cultural impacts that came with them Black folks and their contributions are part of the bedrock of American culture, including what we’ve considered “white”

I do think there needs to be more awareness of literal actual racism though I don’t disagree with the spirit of what you’re saying, I just think a lot of these constructs are not as cut and dry as commonly thought
