@aurabogado Importantly, I don't think that example is the *fault* of#Black people or their blackness. -
Wow. There's so much here I hardly know where to begin. Head spinning a little tbh
@cricketcrocker -
For starters: black people aren't suddenly privileged if their oppression is recognized.
@cricketcrocker -
RE: minority conflated with black: we non-black people do that when we claim oppression that's specific to black people.
@cricketcrocker -
We're say "people of color face x specific challenge," when it's actually black people that face the particular challenge.
@cricketcrocker -
But I think I'm most taken aback by the idea that recognizing oppression again black folks somehow makes other poc invisible
@cricketcrocker -
Because 1) that's just simply not the case... but 2) you're essentially demanding black people do free work for other poc

@aurabogado@cricketcrocker oppression is the last frontier for whites. Its the one thing they cant seem to steal from under our feet -
@ValerieComplex@aurabogado Yep, it's hard to colonize what you refuse to acknowledge.
