Why are white people so opposed to having conversations about the system their culture created. Perform your anti blackness a little more subtlely lol. 

[u/GeekyFreaky94 → u/BeanBagMcGee]

My anti blackness? Because I don't want to be lumped in with racists?

I'm perfectly fine having that conversation. I'm 100% for social justice, reparations, socialism all of that. So it's pretty fucked up to tell your white comrades that support you that they're part of the problem just cause they're white. That's racial essentialism.

It's just counter productive to frame it as an us vs them lumping in all white people together even if they are 100% on your side. All it does is cause divisiveness and conflict when we should be a United Front against the real enemy instead of toxic infighting.

The notion that you are fully on our side contributes to the issue because it's simply not possible. You have no personal investment in the struggle. This indicates that our discussion is merely an academic debate for you, as you seem unable or unwilling to distinguish between the wording and the underlying message.

If your support hinges on protecting your feelings, then you’re not a genuine ally; you’re a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

If you're not actively confronting racism every time you encounter it, you're not truly being an ally. It’s essential to address the casually racist comments or behaviors of friends, family members, bosses, or coworkers. Failing to do so means you're not holding your ground as an ally.

You may be thinking, “How can I correct my boss without risking my job?” But this mindset is precisely why the commitment to allyship is often lacking. We face these challenges daily, and it’s crucial to acknowledge that and take action.

You're making nothing but assumptions about me and my character just so you can feel like you have some moral high ground.

Anyone that actually knows me knows my heart and commitment.

I'm not going to stop pushing back against racism just cause ppl like you virtue signal online to feel morally superior to others. But it does get exhausting feeling like just cause I'm white that no matter what I do it'll never be enough.

It's racial essentialism. It doesn't nothing but divide the masses and pit them against each other instead of the actual enemy.

I suggest you read white fragility

[u/GeekyFreaky94 → u/theotherbackslash]

You literally know nothing about me at all whatsoever.

[u/theotherbackslash → u/GeekyFreaky94]

A white “ally” who is unwilling to do any work to be a more effective ally? Shocking.

The last thing I will say is that I think reading white fragility would help you understand the phenomenon I’m talking about. I’m not saying you’re a bad person, but the unwillingness to listen to black voices is going against your stated beliefs.

If you want to prove me wrong, read the first three chapters, pm me, and let me know your thoughts.

Does that also mean black people need to stay out of white neighborhoods?

[u/bosheikus03 → u/psychodad90]

wth?? That’s the way it’s been for ages. Where u been??

[u/theotherbackslash → u/bosheikus03]

Acting like they’ve never heard of sundown towns. Or the white flight that resulted in the ghettos of America.
