Seriously. I probably think you’re a fucking moron and hate you for it.
Why would you hate someone for using that term? Like, seriously. I’m completely dumbfounded as to why you would dislike it.

Okay………… so white woman goes to non-white country and says that she was “objectified” for her white skin by the men there.
It happens. I’m not saying cat-calls and objectification are okay, because I don’t think they are ever okay.
But.
I am so over white women complaining about how hard they…

Yesterday, notice was received from Kate at Indiegogo that part of #Arkh’s pitch on indiegogo was “unlawful”. Namely, that the lines about using the money to hire queer people and PoC artists were “breaking anti-discrimination laws”. Now Arkh’s goal is to not only make this game, but to use the…
white women’s tears →
leonineantiheroine:
Relevant to Australia and also online spaces, and thanks abagond!!! xx
“White women’s tears is one of the main ways White American women have of derailing any talk of racism, particularly their own racism. It is part of a more general pattern of white people making their feelings matter more than the truth – something you see too in the tone argument, for example.

I know people will claim that labels like White Woman’s Tears are misogynistic or whatever, but there is a phenomenon that is unique to middle class white women in discussions of race, wherein the moment the conversation gets hard they make it all about them, their feelings, and…
i find it interesting that there were a few woc who were in tears in that video talking about their pain and their experiences. why aren’t white folks up in arms over their mental health and well being?

Women of color have feelings that can be hurt? Can you cite studies by reputable sources that can prove it?

Personal disclosure time.
Some 3 years ago, I brought up racism in a discussion about a communal living space I was part of, and one of the White folks running the show said, “We already know this stuff.”
It was the only time I ever cried about racism in public. I was surrounded by White folks….

Yes, she does. Because every last one of White folks’ cognitive functions seem to shut the fuck down when people of color are patient, reassuring, generous, gentle, and reasonable with White folks.

The exercise was to teach white people/white passing people about the daily racism that POC face by putting them in a position to be discriminated against constantly. This was the point of the “A Class Divided” exercise.

It would behoove PoC to just straight IGNORE their sniffllings and blatherings in the 3-D world as well. See a White person crying, just pass them by. Ignore them. Hell, that’s what they do to us when we’re upset. Don’t offer them a tissue. Don’t ask them what’s wrong. Don’t…

And you all know it
And didn’t Living Single predate Friends? Yup, I’m pretty sure it did, by like a year…
Friends never amused me… it felt so boring and, frankly, beige. Did it even have any people of color as regular characters (other than Aisha Tyler towards the very end of the series)?
Living Single is so slept on. Fucking fabulous show.
