You’re a white woman, right? Don’t you think it’s odd to consider yourself a spokesperson for people of color as a whole? Even if you’re not white, why assume you speak for everyone? Also, dismantling an organization doesn’t solve a problem like racism.

Hm. Your original tweet definitely implied you were speaking for all MOC, but even assuming the loudest MOC speak for all is a problem. Also, let’s just take as a given that there is racism &etc ... It’s the people, not the org. Dismantling the org doesn’t educate the people.

As an MOC who has left what exactly is the point of this? The org that refuses to actually address a vote to not use the racist name again but leaves all the racist suggestions on possible names 1/

The one that decided that it’s leaders would not make a statement about the transphobia or the toxic racism. Guess what other medieval orgs address this in listserves & Facebook. 2/

So I have not seen you in 2+ years since all of this has pretty much exploded. Helen however has consistently written pieces, signal boosted, done what she needed to tell white ppl to stop w/ their BS. So waiting for labor. I have not seen any. So what is your point?

My point, Dorothy, is that Helen is calling my friend @KristenCarella a racist for wanting to try to transform ISXX. I think that’s highly unfair.

She had 2.5 years to do something about a toxic white supremacist, anti feminist, fine w/ rampant sexual harassment board. And now when all the people of color have left the building, she wants to save it? That is some serious white savior complex completely ignoring MOCs.

The ones who have dealt w/ this board, the ones who did work for years. But sure let us ignore the labor of BIWOC. Let us center white feelings instead. And this is antiracist? If she is not being antiracist she is Benny racist for upholding a transphobic, white supremacist org.

Where were all these white women making sure this org would completely reform 2+ years ago when there were calls to do the labor and pitch in? Waiting. Quiet as crickets. Heard nothing, did nothing. So just stop wasting our time & ignoring our labor. We are done.
