Very piquant and valuable. My only quibble is with My only disagreement with Mr. Ambreen’s chart is the term “White Traitor” for #7. “Traitor” has an overwhelmingly negative connotation which misrepresents the principle as I understand it: i.e., a 7 individual is not motivated by the notion of betraying other white people in some way, but rather by a commitment to actively effecting equality for ALL humankind. Yes, that means eliminating white privilege, but doing so in service of a greater good which ultimately benefits everyone. Anyway, I personally would have called it “rejectivist,” or something to that effect, instead of “traitor.”
Traitor to whiteness, not white people as in our sisters and brothers etc
Fighting whiteness because it hurts others, not to benefit ‘everyone’
My 2c
Oh and Sam is Ms Ambreen.
