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

I don't think it works to call for respectful disagreement after you accused Dorothy Kim of building her career on scurrilous racism accusations.

Just stop. I'm not impressed by this tactic.

By what tactic? Repeating to you what you said? You were critiqued for supporting a racist organization and responded by accusing a WoC of "thuggery" and saying she had built her career on racism accusations. This is not good.

I have been called a racist and a transphobe by multiple people tonight, and you are backing that. It kinda sucks, Chris. How would you feel?

Can we just be clear that white supremacy and structural racism means white folks uphold and benefit regularly. And I think we can admit that if we are cisgendered & heterosexual, that we also benefit & uphold cisgendered & heterosexual structures/privilege.

But yes, do you want to address the accusations to me.

No. I don't want to accuse you. I'll continue this conversation as long as you like. And I'll absorb whatever comes at me. But, ultimately, what good does that do for anyone? I would much rather see you as a friend and ally.

That is then really the point. To address the previous accusations. Apologies if you were affected by any of us calling you transphobic.

Thank you. Likewise, I apologize that I have said things that offended you all. It's a hard discussion. You are good scholar, and I do not see you as an anything other than a friend. But I will never passively stand back and allow anyone to call me a racist. ok?

But this is the thing, structural racism & white supremacy is embedded in the system. White ppl r complicit. Just like cisgendered & heterosexual structures are embedded. If people tell me I have done something LGBTQIA discriminatory, then I should own that b/c complicit.
