Plus if you believe that all racism is really just economic insecurity, you don’t think you have to do any work on your own biases, because really, all that will be fixed once we break up the banks.

I’m actually pretty shy but my ambition tends to outweigh my shy tendencies. Also I’m a Taurus which means, I can’t keep living this broke bitch life. 

This, right here, was his mistake.

I’m friends with people who live in a gentrified part of DC/are the gentrifiers. They really don’t get how icky it is to see a Whole Foods spring up in a place that “wasn’t worth the investment” when the folks there were black and brown and begging for fresh vegetables and fruit.

There’s a lot of anti-blackness in Asian and Hispanic/Latinx cultures. It’s seriously ugly.

Don’t you just love the trolls who’ve been around for so little time they don’t realise they’ve sent their crappy racebaiting to like one of the 5 ungreyed White people on the site?

I can’t with these people. When 45 was elected, I resolved to demand everyone who brings up their black friend to call them and put them on the phone.

Every time I attempt to have the conversation with white folks they ask for, I try to explain that the worst parts of racism aren’t the KKK or the white supremacists that marched in Charlottesville. Those racist are the easy ones to hate.

I remember them pointedly saying “Half White” in response to the specific phrase “First Black President”. I don’t believe anyone but Clayton Biggsby was seriously claiming Barak Obama as wgite.

PREACH!!! cause I been trying to tell my cousins this since the day they got their green cards. Man it don’t matter how white your skin, blonde your hair, green your eyes, they going to take one look at your mom/dad and know. YOU. AINT. WHITE!!!!!

Of course, profiles on the people directly harmed by this hate speech and violence would be much more compelling. But that would require whiteness—white maleness, specifically—to be uncentered. And uncentering whiteness is harder than eating just one Lays potato chip, apparently.

Except we all know this. We’ve been shouting it for years. And they wanna come now and get the credit for exposing the normalcy and prevalence of white supremacy? Nah. POC did that first (and over and over and over again), and wypipo did not (and still don’t) care. That NYT piece uncovered nothing new, it wasn’t an…

They’re also the publication that gave us #MikeBrownWasNoAngel before he was even buried.

On point. Whiteness loves whiteness above all else. Whiteness understands whiteness. Is attracted to whiteness. Defends whiteness. Shares whiteness. And explains whiteness. That is what whites are taught from birth, from books, from tv, from movies, from schooling, from work, from neighborhoods, from family and loved…

Pray tell what is this recipe? That sounds delicious!

Yes! The crust! I made my DRESSING in mini loaf pans this year so there would be even extra crusty parts.

I won’t be so bold to imply that maybe my comment spurred this convo but I’m just going to drop this here and you all can see the white people lying and acting like they understand cousin culture.

Oh, I don’t think all or even most black folks are homophobic. It exists, but it’s definitely a red herring to distract from homophobia in the white community.

Your comment literally has nothing to do with what I just said. There is no one celebrating colonization or genocide. Making shit up out of thin air is really strange. Go and research Sarah Hale and Abraham Lincoln and you will learn more about the whole thing. The whole affectation of “The First Thanksgiving” as made…

All I can tell you is that the whole “First Thanksgiving” nonsense is a recent affectation. It’s how schools celebrate Thanksgiving, because they don’t know any better. It has nothing to do with the actual holiday that is celebrated. I strongly recommend studying Sarah Hale and Abraham Lincoln to understand what the…
