Ppl who say we need to start a conv. on race are the self important 
who show up late to a meeting & say 'Alright, let's get this started!'
-
And then when you refuse to backtrack for them they complain about you failing to engage.
"Let's start a conversation about race you've been having your entire life. But on my terms & in a way that doesn't disrupt my race power."
-
-
'Lets start the Groundhog Day conversation on race that I reset whenever it doesn't go my way!' -
Times we have convos about race: 1/ Latest blackface idiocy. 2/ Laws taking away POC rights. 3/ Latest disrespect of Indigenous people.
-
Convo: 1. White ppl drown out POC 2. White ppl fight white ppl on panels 3. POC talking is 'bullying' 4. White people need feelings soothed
-
5. POC expected to stand for free speech, just not their own.
-
"Free speech" = WP using hate speech & expecting zero consequences, whether in "debates" with POC, "satire," yelling at us down the street..
-
'jokes' = lazily rehashing stereotypes and pretending it's important critique.
