Strange Days And All Things In Between

occasionally pensive: I'm getting infernally SICK of the white whiners saying Jane Elliot was being overtly cruel to the kids in that...

Look, I’m going to explain this as clearly as possible.

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.

”  Honestly, all of those white people complaining about how rude this exercise was are saying one thing: I’m white and therefore, I am more important than people of color. I mean now we have scientifically based evidence to prove that white people don’t care about non-whites. But any person of color can tell you that if they’re even slightly observant when they’re around a plethora of white people…

It honestly makes me so angry that I can’t even express it to see what white people have written in response to that video. Just the idea that they can watch that ENTIRE documentary… with the reasoning behind it and everything, and STILL say it’s unfair goes beyond me. I’d say that you have to be stupid. But really, they’re just racist. All of them. Most white people are racist. Vast majority.

I can’t. This is why I believe in self-segregation. Ya’ll are crazy. And since I know I have feelings although most white people don’t, I can’t risk my mental health dealing with ya’ll unless it’s necessary… which is honestly already too much (at work, in class, in my dormitory…. racism everywhere). And that’s on the real.  “
