+ their mission is to "meet people where they're at". First of all, he already told me this beforehand. Secondly, the students already know+

+ it. So, he's saying it to challenge EVERYTHING I've said. Because, as a 20 year-old white gay boy, he obvi knows more about oppression +

+ and how to deal with it than a queer Black woman who does this for a living. And he WILL take up space to tell me so. By now, I've been +

+ dealing with his micro and macro agressions for a couple of hours. I'm done. I stop him, mid-sentence. I tell him that his refusal to +

+ listen, to give up any space AT ALL, is privilege. And that I won't engage with him further. He tries to say something else. I say no.+

+ The event ends. Immediately, the black people come up to thank me. As do other folks. As I'm talking to them, he GETS BACK ON THE MIC.+

+ He tells the crowd that he just wants to say that what just happened isn't how oppressed people should deal with privileged people.+

+ I'm FED UP. I tell him to STOP IT. Like, this is so incredibly aggressive! Yet none of the administrators present do a damn thing abt it.+
