 Abolish the White Race
Advocating the abolition of the white race is distinct from what is called "anti-racism." The term "racism" has come to be applied to a variety of attitudes, some of which are mutually incompatible, and has been devalued to mean little more than a tendency to dislike some people for the color of their skin.
Race itself is a product of social discrimination; so long as the white race exists, all movements against racism are doomed to fail.
RACE TRAITOR exists, not to make converts, but to reach out to those who are dissatisfied with the terms of membership in the white club.

In both visions of the future, the dilemmas of white race privilege and colonialism are resolved by deconstructing the 'white' subject into the 'fl'.
Instead, she argues for a political project predicated on an awareness of how even radical traditions are implicated in the "histories and inequalities of racial asymmetries and oppressions" rather than by trying to locate non-complicit trajectories from which to resist the "universal epistemological power" of whiteness (Wiegman 2003, 251).

Race matching also harms the entire society morally and spiritually by reiterating the baneful notion, long entrenched in law and custom, that people of different races should not be permitted to disregard racial distinctions when creating families.
If an employer used race as a basis for preferring white applicants on the grounds that, on average, white people have access to more education than fls, the employer would rightly be condemned and in violation of scores of state and federal laws --even if the generalization upon which the employer relied was accurate.
First, by authorizing race to be taken into account at all on a routine basis, MEPA legitimated a moderated form of race matching that still posed a risk of delaying or denying adoptions or foster care placements.

Race Traitor's apparent rationale for the destruction of "whiteness" is to increase human freedom.
The Race Traitor editors, then, like all good lefties, wish to deconstruct the population in order to recreate them in the image of the New Soviet-American Man, an entity who can be allowed his freedom because the desire to do anything contrary to the State has been extinguished.
And it is not just that Race Traitor advocates genocide -- whether it be in its biological or psychological form -- but that it seeks to deny the achievements and quintessential worth of the white race, and particularly to deny that it is white men who have been responsible for building Western civilization.

 Alas, a blog » Blog Archive » Is “Race Traitor” Racist? Depends on Who Says It
Although it's true that Margaret Cho used the term "race traitor," in context she used it ironically; her point is that it's a positive thing that Asians and people of color are free to be right-wingers nowadays, even though she finds Malkin's view odious.
They are essentially “race traitors”: dedicated to the destruction of all racial categories, or even for some the collection of data indicating racial discrimination; critical of the liberal integrationist establishment; and enthusiastic boosters of capitalism as we know it.
My position still remains that “race traitor” is offensive, regardless of who is using it, and that you don’t have to be white to be racist (in the sense that I was using the term).

 Stuffle Head: What is Race, and Who's a Race Traitor?
Evidently, having a fl father trumps all in terms of race, making Jeter fl in the eyes of the letter's author, though logically he is at most half fl, and that is assuming his father is of 100% fl decent (I don't know if he is or not, and frankly, I don't care).
If the author of the letter really wants to deal with race traitors, he should send letters to fl men who are not taking responsibility for their own children.
There are people out there destroying their own race, whatever that race may be, but it is not those dating outside of the color boundaries that are doing it.

Many race theorists have argued that antiracist struggles require whites' acknowledgment that they are white; that is, that their experience, perceptions, and economic position have been profoundly affected by being constituted as white (Frankenberg 1993).
It is a feature of this race privilege that white women have a choice to hear or not to hear--and to respond or not to respond--to the demands and criticisms of women of color.
Race Traitor's attention to crossover culture may be motivated by this concern, in the hope that a "mixed" cultural identity could replace whiteness and thereby avoid its moral legacy.

White 'race traitor' theory is wholly based on the participation of white folks, and refuses to consider the reality people of color worldwide already understand: masses of whites won't give up their privileges, and will fight to defend the empire to the bitter end.
Sadly, white 'race traitor' politics are one of a few theories explored by the white left because of its seeming militancy and often catchy rhetoric that theory huggers tend to embrace.
Crooks’s act was an instance of race treason—when a white person violated an unspoken rule of whiteness by actively opposing the state’s attempt to enforce the color line, a transgression of the norms of whiteness that the state took so seriously that Crooks was promptly incarcerated.

From his house in Somerville, among unsold stacks of his periodical Race Traitor, Noel Ignatiev is making tentative plans to overturn the race system.
Race Traitor's readership is made up of educators, members of the religious community, and people who academics tend to regard with some alarm -- prisoners and skinheads.
The group that is not reading Race Traitor is what Ignatiev refers to, witheringly, as "the traditional left." It's no wonder.

Race Traitor by Noel Ignatiev at The SocioWeb
The journal Race Traitor began in 1992 with one lofty ambition: "to serve as an intellectual center for those seeking to abolish the white race." The editors define the white race as a historically constructed social group consisting of all those who benefit from having white skin and are thus empowered by the status quo.
Since they define the white race as a historical rather than a natural classification, it follows that this system can be undone--but only if a noticeable segment of whites are willing to dismiss conformity to their color.

With the emergence of this new social phenomenon of the relegation of the atomized individual to a single gesture, early capitalism transformed the human being into the wage worker who (as Marx put it in the quote used at the outset) was precisely identified with his/her life activity, that is into an animal.
By the end of the 19th century it was common coin in both Europe and America to refer to the "Anglo-Saxon race", the "Latin race", the "Slavic race",  the "Oriental race", the "Negro race" etc. with or without (and usually with) judgmental ranking(22), and usually assuming a biological basis for cultural differences.
Since my argument was that race as an idea could not appear until rationalist and scientific critique up to the mid-17th century had overthrown mythical and religious views of man to arrive at a biological view, this objection seemed highly unlikely.

Ignatiev pledges in the essay that his journal, Race Traitor, intends to "keep bashing the dead white males, and the live ones, and the females, too, until the social construct known as 'the white race' is destroyed — not 'deconstructed' but destroyed." His colleagues at Harvard seem not to take his proposal entirely seriously.
Ignatiev said, "No, but I want to abolish the privileges." "The white race is like a private club based on one huge assumption that all those who look white, are, whatever their complaints or reservations, fundamentally loyal to the race.
But he writes about what he believes at the Web site of Race Traitor, whose motto is: "Treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity." "The key to solving the social problems of our age is to abolish the white race, which means no more and no less than abolishing the privileges of the white skin.
