Conversation
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"

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'

It's weird how people projecting their own trauma onto society passes for social commentary.

You are a great non-reactive anthropologist.
Making me so so grateful to no longer frequent activist spaces or be vulnerable to the logic.

The right has been telling you for 10 years this was coming. Maybe you should have listened?
Oh well, they might still let you poast nudes from gulag. If OF doesn't ban you for wrongthink first...

It sums up nicely what the whole "anti-racisms" really is. Black people wanting to gain power and get "revenge" on white people by humilitating and degrading them while at the same time demanding that they (white people) work for their (black people) success.

all "jokes" aside.
This is a struggle session.
Nothing short of.
It will only get worse and I have NO idea how to put this fire out. People talk a good game, but how do you fight a country wide cult? I am sure 50+ million dead Chinese people would have loved to know..

welcome to the madness. “antiracism” is a religion and is not designed to make sense. it has rituals and coded language and high priests. I think there is an affection for segregation and apartheid I find appalling. mixed and biracial feels left out of this crazy pot. big no.
