Just saying.
deliciouskaek: foxtalbotnegatives: dumbthingswhitepplsay: daniellemertina: somethingratchet: luvyourselfsomeesteem: If Jerry Lavinge Jr’s video “Benfits of Black Women” was racist, how come white women never scream racism when guys say white women are better? How come they never scream racism when magazines and movies have entirely all white women? Where is the uproar about that? ...

Uh IDK my thoughts on HAES and stuff
theoceanandthesky: vikkiage: Like I think HAES does important shit because so much of fat discrimination is based in the idea that fat = unhealthy and it’s definitely really important to break down that myth. But at the same time I wish there was an equally powerful fat-posi force that focused on how health doesn’t define worth, how unhealthy people aren’t bad people and how no one owes their...

Tales of an exhausted educator
eshusplayground: somewhitenonsense: I am an educator.  Not a teacher by training, profession, or plan; not compensated; rarely appreciated.  But I educate.  Mostly, I educate white people.  I don’t have to do this, and I often resent doing so, and it comes at great personal cost.  But life has taught me thus far that if I wish to be respected and understood as a whole human being, I must teach...

re white privilege
eshusplayground: daniellemertina: Acknowledging white privilege isn’t when you say nice-sounding phrases like, “As a white woman, I’ll never understand what it’s like to a black woman even though we’re both women.” Do you think you get points for that when you say racist stuff anyway? You ain’t understanding because you don’t care to. Racism isn’t complicated. Read a sociology textbook on...

I'm trying to workout somethings
blackamazon: but that Jane Elliott video and the ensuing is reactions are triggering as hell for me I find it interesting how adamant teh one woman who left was adamant about hwo this was a game to her and she didn’t have to play if her needs weren’t being met.  It’s a far more complete picture of liberal politics than most folks let out. It’s a ” fun” thing to do that can only push so far or...

Why do White people always ask POCs stuff like this? I just spent 30 minutes Googling “white allies” to find resources. Why the hell did I have to do that? Why does it never occur to White people to do that? Why is the onus always on POCs to make it easy for White people to learn to be less racist? Why do we always have to do the heavy lifting? Why is the footwork always left to us? Why are we...
