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

White people can't tell POC apart or our races

"Where are you from?" "What are you?" Will lump you into wrong group, don't care about answer, just want to classify POC as "not one of us."

And we're all monolithic too. POC proximity used as a shield against any accusations of racism.
