This is what those “honest conversations about race” look like...and why I go the other way when somebody’s town hall wants to have one.
And you clearly are not a white ally so you really have no stack in dismantling white supremacy and you shouldn’t be here commenting.
These racist ass honkeys need to keep MLK’s name out their mouths.
Given the sheer apathy and hatred towards Dr. King, the Civil Rights Movement (or any movement towards Black liberation) and the plight of people of color in America shown throughout history by the vast majority of white people—nah, we’re not playing to your white fragility. If an “ally” thinks their feelings matter…
TL;DR: NOT ALL WHITE PEOPLE.
Oh, to be white...
The point is that black people—as ACTUAL outsiders in most cases— wouldn’t even get the platform to write up our observations on the cultural differences that we see.
I love how they want to tell us we’re all alike. No shit? WE KNOW! It’s been US who have been trying to get you and your kind to see it, but y’alls asses insist on proving to us that you’re assholes.
No doubt his “constructive conversation” would have been to tell them how to speak and dress to better gain the…
Your writing style is very douchey.
Except it’s his choice of details to report, the things he sees as relevant to “a conversation on race”, that reveal his attachment to racist stereotypes.
(Embarrassing confession): I actually happen to love public transit. Like, Joe Biden-level love for train systems. It tickles the latent socialist in me to see so many people from different walks of life forced to use the same method of transit. But I acknowledge that is not a normal way to feel, lol.
Racist evaluates fellow passengers with ignorant stereotypes, draws racist conclusion.
I can’t stand that “we’re all the same” equality pedestal bullshit. White people don’t get to use their rose-colored world views to police our reactions to racism. If we’re all the same, they should tell that to their melanin-deficient brethren that are afraid I’ll sit next to them.
When black people write about our experiences when we’re surrounded by white folks they call us the real racists and clamor to prove that they aren’t racist because {insert whatever lie they tell themselves to make them not seem racist to them and other white people} and howl that these pieces only stand to further…
Calling us “The Blacks” would have cemented this imo. And i can’t believe this mf had the audacity to talk about “poor grammar” like AAVE doesn’t have its own unique set of grammar, he was probably just salty he couldn’t understand them, and he shouldn’t. At this point, I don’t even try to code switch anymore, I’m at…
It seems that whenever white people say they want “a conversation,” it always ends with us having to sit and listen to them talk about things like this that they don’t know shit about. All we got from this guy was a self-aggrandizing “not-racism” to the point of belittling the Black passengers and painfully unfiltered…
I was waiting for the “what would MLK think” portion of article. Whenever dwights want to admonish the behavior of black people, they bring up good ole’ MLK, like he’s our dad or something. It’s just PEAK whiteness to try and shame us using MLK when they know good and damn well that they killed him and he was hated…
This is some fuckery. I could write about the white people of Valdosta and it would be far more entertaining. But, of course, everything has to be through the lens of clueless white people who see us as some alien race.
