1/2 Includes the same White women & men who say they are "intersectional feminists"* but are relishing opportunity to promote themselves

... but to race bait that is a little lame. I have huge respect for the guy, and that's why it I'd like to see him always be correct!
1/ "Race bait" - what are you doing here? I'm an expert on equity & diversity, inc anti-racism & a #WOC. You clearly don't understand racism

2/ Be more careful with your language "lame" is an ableist term. http://everydayfeminism.com/2015/08/alternatives-to-oppressive-language/ … Thread is about inclusion. Please be respectful.

Read the thread. Your defensiveness on my thread shows otherwise. You can educate yourself. But you don't get to annoint yourself an ally.
-
1/ Allyship, or support for URM, is action: ongoing self-education for White people; taking a step back & reflecting when you make mistakes
-
2/ And it's DOING THE WORK to support minorities. You don't get to *say* you do this, esp when you're here denying what POC have been saying
-
It also is a bit presumptive to say that I don't do it when you don't know my efforts. Maybe you can be wrong too.
-
What you're doing here: STOP. You want to be validated you when you've come to an anti-racism thread, ignored me & other POC, now sulking.
-
1/2 I don't need to know you to tell you what you're doing here is practising Whiteness to protect yourself. You don't get to play hurt here
-
2/2 On this thread: 1/ You defended racism; 2/ used a racist phrase doing so "race baiting;" 3/ don't know how to listen to
#WOC. Reflect.
