What's "speak to diversity" mean? I want white folks w/ a clue to talk to the clueless ones, because the clueless ones don't listen to us.

Most trouble w/ the web is us getting confused about who's trying to talk to whom. Universal tolerance way easier than universal gestalt.

Sure, but if you don't expect universal tolerance from your white friends, surely you don't expect it of POC who are actually oppressed?

It's not my friends, white or otherwise, I worry about. It's the unshaven white masses who're unlikely to befriend me.

Ok but you get my point right? The language white liberals use to try to reach the unshaven white masses often alienates POC

The language black people use amongst ourselves is often white-exclusionary. I don't think policing others' internal discourse is productive

Just because there are so many white people about doesn't mean they don't also need a safe space to unfuck their privilege demons.

So I ack your point, but I worry more abt white fragility's violence than POC's fragility making weakness. Still less unfair than before.

Okay 1) forgive me cause I thought you were a white guy at first. Sorry, tweeting from the treadmill, not paying attention.

2) I think... there's a broader thing here about the folly of holding black ppl to a higher standards than whites as a liberation tactic.
