this room is blowing my mind. i dont understand what kind of logic these people are using AT all.
a black lady was like "its easy to self-segregate, i notice i don't have white friends"
and someone else was like "white ppl asking black ppl questions is rooted in white supremacy"
Conversation

im getting from this room that black women have the highest status; the white ppl repeatedly are super deferent to the black, and all the men, white and black, are deferent to the black women, with black women frequently described with hero-type language

they're talking critically about a woman in the room who was congratulating other white ppl in the room for showing up to a 'ask black ppl questions' room and saying 'we need to heal the planet and all get along' stuff. They say no, actually white ppl need to feel more guilty

they're upset she didn't come in and ask black people what she could do for htem. "Unless your'e ready to go out and challenge the system then you're not helping any of us. Your favors, your handouts, aren't helping us. We don't need resources, we need power"
Replying to
now they're getting mad cause she was offering spiritual-esque services to black people, but a lot of spirituality has been stolen from black people

she said that hearing the white lady talking about offering her services to black people made her feel really unsafe and no, the room is not safe.
this caused some controversy, other black ppl were referring to the room as a 'safe space'
