The difference between the honest recognition of the qualities and achievements of the white man and the idolization of whiteness, primarily by white people who have (or feel they have) nothing else to offer besides their whiteness. Such unfortunates are oft blinded by their over-emphasis on merely being white and forget they still have to actually do something, like, in life and stuff.
Tis also idolatry of the white race by other peoples— even if this is only the creation of a false white idol to then wish to destroy; as well as redefinitions of “whiteness” to fit whoever is doing the defining. This is not white excellence, White Supremacy. This is masturbation.
