    I asked, and Brenda said she wanted me to do this, so here we go. (1) I am not the racist call-out dog. I let most racism slide, because—AS SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED—calling out racism is exhausting and leads to people being jerks to me for years on end. People like you.https://twitter.com/celticmaid/status/1223584928375431168 …

    @courtneymilan do you call out all racist remarks or just those against minorities?

        I let about 99.8% of the bullshit I see slide by with barely a side eye.

        (2) I try to target the call-outs I do (BECAUSE THEY ARE EXHAUSTING) to coincide with those instances when there is institutional power and systemic impact. FOR INSTANCE, when someone is setting up a publishing house.

        This means that I will never call out “racism against whites” because whites *have* institutional power, and there is no systemic impact when people say things like the ones you have highlighted.

        (3) Sometimes people catch me at the wrong time, or I do it to demonstrate the kind of absolute bonkers shit I have to put up with, or I do what I’m doing with you—I let people know that you don’t get to take free potshots at me.

        (4) I would like to remind everyone on this app that I have rates. If you want me to use my platform to talk about the thing that is bothering you, here’s what you have to do.https://twitter.com/courtneymilan/status/1215670859290927104?s=20 …

        I found it. I charge $900/hour, 20 hour minimum, paid in advance, and every time you try to get me to do it for free, the price doubles.

        And just as a reminder—that’s just to get my attention and my words. No guarantees that I will say the thing you want me to say. I do not belong to you, and just because I donate a lot of labor doesn’t mean my labor is free for the taking.

        (5) I’m not sure why I need more reasons why I didn’t call out a person I don’t follow, on a thread I wasn’t tagged into, but am I supposed to know everything that happens on this app? I am so fucking *sick* of being your diversity scapegoat. Cut it out. You all suck.

        (6) “The whites are at it again” is not a racist statement. It is a description of your behavior in this case. It is not racist is because there is no institutional, systemic bias against white people that the statement would reference.

        (7) Look, Brenda, I know that quote-tweeting you is mean, and it’s going to drop a bunch of people on your head, and I largely *don’t* do this shit. But you know what? It’s not going to drop as many people on your head as RWA dropped on mine, and you don’t give a fuck about that.

        You’re suddenly going to figure out what a power differential looks like when it’s me being mean on the internet. So take the L, stop crying because suddenly 20 people ask you to re-examine your privilege, and THINK.

        Imagine what it would be like having to swim uphill against a power differential that wasn’t ONE person, but your entire profession, your career, whether you got pulled over, whether your passports got issued...

        ...and multiply by centuries of this history. Then ask yourself what “the whites are at it again” really means.
