Tone argument isn’t just about saying, “Well, if you said it nicer.”

It’s also about telling someone, “Well if you said it better” or “if you said it this way”. 

Furthermore, you walked into a post that was about me talking about my lived realities and my observations. I don’t owe you a post written on your terms and in the way you expect when doing that. In fact, I NEVER owe you that. 

The phrase “white supremacy” is not flawed. It is quite accurate to describe the attitudes, actions, and goals of white people and whiteness in the world. It should be used to describe the actions white people take to harm, exclude, marginalize, oppress and destroy people who are not white. It is precisely the right phrase. 

The fact that you want it only to mean “Nazis” so that you can distance yourself from it and what it means and your role in it tells me everything I need to know.
