Many people, in particular @ISASaxonists and @dorothyk98, have discussed how ISXX is firmly entrenched in white supremacy. We can't do the work to reform because its governing structures are elitist & racist, and the board is unwilling to change or challenge that.

And just because they say it doesn't mean it's unambiguously right. There are more voices than those of the people you mention. It's an issue worthy of respectful, intelligent discussion among pdoe of good will. Blanketly dubbing everyone a racist who disagrees is bullshit.

It doesn't. But I do think it's the duty of white people (myself obviously included) to reflect when called racist rather than lash out. As well as to listen to POC, obvi.

Oh, so teaching at an HBCU for years doesn't equate to reflection? Please explain that to me.

How did teaching at an HBCU not make clear that white ppl should always center the most vulnerable? Did we skip this anti racism training 101. Your HBCU is not a shield. This is like the group version of I have a black friend/family. My fascist stalker teaches at an HBCU.

And somehow your expertise b/c you have the HBCU shield vs. the lived experiences of BIPOC ppl is really demonstrating your antiracism? This is basic allyship 101: Do not make BIPOC ppl your shield. Listen. Stop centering whiteness. I could go on.

I could throw back at you the lived experiences of a trans person. You know nothing about it. The one card you got is calling people racist. You rely on the fact that folks will buy it regardless of its truth value. I'm all in. Lets go.

Here is the thing, we are not going to come back to ISXX. It is a toxic white supremacist org. It is a waste of our time and energy. We have already spent too much on it. We are out.

I'm not asking for you to come back. I respect that. I would just ask, in return, that you respect my choice (a considered one) to try to do what good I can. Obviously, it's up to you. As far as I am concerned, we see eye to eye on this, even if we disagree respectfully...Cont

But if people libel me by calling me a transphobe or a racist, or whatever, I will take those lies head. on. every. time. My dm's are open. Or you can write me publicly. I am open to criticism, and-even more-to guidance on how to do things better....

But you just went ahead & libeled me. As I pointed out, structural racism & white supremacy. White ppl are always benefiting, complicit, upholding it. ISxx is a white supremacist org. Why support it particularly with monetary dues to continue their white supremacy?

Ok, I mean this sincerely. I want a better future for all of us. I'm not playing a game. Sincerely, what would you have me do?
