I’m black and have been called a white supremacist a number of times. At this point I just laugh. I’m like 20% white so now I just joke and say I don’t realize it was so noticeable
At least if you're white, you get to have your own thoughts. If you're not Woke, they'll call you a racist, but they won't question that you believe what you say.
But if you're black, and not woke, you're living a lie (false consciousness). Disagreement with them means you are "not authentic" or "enacting whiteness" for your own gain.
To them, there is only one valid way to be black. You have no agency of your own.
