For starters, a full one percent of the people who attend @burningman are black: http://www.theguardian.com/culture/2015/sep/04/burning-man-founder-larry-harvey-race-diversity-silicon-valley …

Sure, there are some people of color that go to
@burningman. But why? I absolutely don't know. -
And
@burningman is straight dirty. It produces as many greenhouse gases as some countries do in an entire week:http://grist.org/article/hey-burning-man-your-desert-party-sucks-for-the-rest-of-us/ … -
But it was the
@SusanSarandon interview about@burningman that illustrates how this gathering is the logical conclusion of white supremacy. -
To be clear, it's this
@SusanSarandon interview about@burningman I'm referring to:http://www.vogue.com/13334257/susan-sarandon-burning-man-timothy-leary/ … -
Right from the get,
@SusanSarandon says that@burningman is for all kinds of people. Umm. No. It's not. It's for whites. -
it's ok,
@SusanSarandon. You can say@burningman is a white thing, we all know that already. But why lie? -
Anyway, my bigger problem with
@SusanSarandon and all those white folks at@burningman is they literally parade their privilege. -
Like really,
@SusanSarandon, you're just gonna sit around and do LSD at@burningman while poc get sent to prison for a lot less? Mkay. -
And you're gonna make an entire platform about how bad it is that CIA was criminalized when.... 2015 Yeah. Black people and stuff.
-
But you know what really gets me?
@SusanSarandon and her white friends practiced cannibalism at@burningman , and no one's calling it such! -
Tim Leary was burned,
@SusanSarandon hung on to remains, then consumed them at@burningman. Term for humans eating humans: cannibalism. -
For people like me, indigenous peoples who've long been accused of cannibalism, what
@SusanSarandon did at@burningman was like... wtf? -
I knew it was bad, but
@burningman is really about white people doing the most stupid, criminalized, immoral shit—then laughing about it. -
Media will gawk at Voodoo practitioners sacrificing a chicken—but you're gonna act like cannibalism is ok at
@burningman? Because white. -
Better yet, we don't even RECOGNIZE it as cannibalism because it's white folks that are consuming the remains of humans at
@burningman. - 1 more reply
