I was in the lefty memes thread and saw this pic and it just made me mad all over again. Things that contribute to white supremacy apparently include Tolerance, White Saviors, Good Intentions, Color Blindness, and Meritocracy.

I'm so fucking sick of the no-win conditions of this. If you're white, you're inherently bad because someone who looked like you owned slaves 100 years ago. So you want to be a good person and don't know how to right out of the gate; that's "good intentions" and you're bad. You try to be non-racist, but that's colorblindness/tolerance/meritocracy, which are all bad. So you donate money and volunteer and go to protests, but that makes you a white savior, which is bad. You try to forgo your whiteness and immerse yourself in black culture, but now you're appropriating, which is bad. You feel bad about being inherently bad, which is white guilt, and thus bad. So you try to just remove yourself from the situation entirely, but now you're not amplifying black voices AND you're engaging in white flight, which are both bad. Are you fatigued from trying to not be bad? WELL THAT'S BAD!! There's not a single fucking thing you can do or not do that will remove the original sin of being white, and every possible thing you can do just makes the whole thing worse.
I'm at a point where if I'm going to be bad no matter what, then I'm gonna be bad! Fuck you people! I can't win, so I'm not gonna wear myself out trying.
