When marginalized people make jokes about themselves and their communities they're hilarious. When privileged people make jokes about marginalized people it's not funny at all. Privileged people only have a handful of jokes about marginalized people and they all suck.

No. That's what we call a metaphor.

ONCE AGAIN, treating statements by marginalized people about privileged people as the exact same as statements by privileged people about marginalized people is 1 of the ways privileged people continue to accrue & secure privilege. It's not equal the privileged have an advantage.

In a truly equitable society such arguments would be being made in better faith. But we don't live in that reality. We live in a reality where people are being oppressed because of their skin, their sexuality, their gender, their sex, their bank balance, etc so this is bad faith.

And because of this them saying we suck is different than us saying they suck. It just is.

I, we, aren't interested in joining you in treating an unbalanced scale as if it's balanced. I, we, are also not joining you in this fantasy land where everything is equal. It's *not*. This is reality. It's not equal & we can't treat it like it is. We need to balance the scalespic.twitter.com/UPZK4IOnX7
