A lot of white anti-racists see themselves as “guests” to the struggle, and expect black people to play host and “invite” us in - or kick us out and relieve us of any responsibility to do anything

As a Black woman, yes. Black women are not inherently activists and my spidey senses go off when I hear people suggest that we are because we don’t need to be pedestaled. We need to be humanized.

Yea, a friendship where the yt person exists as an apology for the painful anti blkness the blk friend navigates day to day would never work. Disappointments will bring race back into sharp focus

White people not only have to unlearn racism, but we also have to build our own identities outside the manufactured role of whiteness. I am learning about my Celtic and Pictish ancestry and cultures.

getting over the fear of causing harm and acknowledging that you 100% will do so **& often** is an important lesson to learn within the "can't win for losing" mindset that this seems to creep toward

Amber. This is one of the most difficult things for people to grasp let alone articulate in my experience learning and practicing anti-racism. Thank you so much, as usual.

As a black woman THANK YOU, I’m asd and early on in my own deconstruction the structure of progressive circles felt extremely comforting especially coming from tokenizing in conservative upbringing

I appreciate the respect you hold for others while going into these complex issues. Truly refreshing.

As a black activist, I encounter this type of person a lot, and let me tell you it’s better you no longer have them in your life. Relationships centered around fear and guilt don’t work.

I'm curious as to why you don't see gender/anti-queerness as something as important as race/anti-blackness. As a white queer, I feel like I understand race through a lens of queerness first

Yes absolutely, and that’s the reason why blk ppl want to step back a little especially in this climate bc we are looked at as “representatives” (1)

just have to say "injured by grief" & needing bedrest is such a great way to frame things, totally integrating that into my vocab

My grandma's experiences have majorly shaped my views on yt supremacy. she was taken by Germans in 1939. she taught me at an early age that ytness isn't an impenetrable shield. but I didn't fully

Grace Kuipers :
A lot of good stuff in here but do you really think racism is the only lens through which we can understand oppression? Like do you really believe racism created class struggle rather than vice versa?

I’m sorry but what does that even mean “anti racism is the core of my identity” 😭😭 . Being anti racist is a set of actions you take, it’s not an identity. Liberals love focusing on “identity” (1/2)

Nearly identical situation happened with me. No one can be just “one of the good ones” all the time, we’re all prone to failure it’s just that some are making more of an effort than others.

Identities provide context but are never shortcuts to ideology, reasoning, or ethics. Good talk

Kelsen Caldwell :
I see it as we are both our identities and human at the same time and if we only relate to each other as our identities something will always be inauthentic within a friendship.

terf killer 3000 :
i think this is the nuance missing from conversations where people talk about folks “weaponizing their identity” against someone because a person won’t feed delusions or put up a logical boundary.

As a a black queer person who has previously been very fearful of being demonized and invalidated by white queer folks specifically. It’s really interesting to hear this take….

This is loving black women, this is loving black people because real community-based “I want to see you thrive” love comes with telling your friends no and calling them out when they need to hear it.

I really appreciate the connection you made between the walking on egg shells bit the racist stereotype of black women being “saviors/carers/etc” & their worth being tied to 1/
