Culture White Nonsense Roundup: Facebook page u can tag to skool raycists - Picking up the emotional labor being asked of people of color.

White People Nonsense is white guilting hard but apparently it's still not good enough.

"While White Nonsense Roundup is doing good by picking up the emotional labor being asked of people of color, the Facebook group also draws some criticism for whitesplaining. Chenoa Alamu, a woman of color who has utilized White Nonsense Roundup, told the Huffington Post, “This is a good thing, but also not a good thing because still, a black person will know better, because we’re the ones actually experiencing [racism].”"

Reminds me of Heart Mob a bit.
 
At this point we might as well be racist. Nothing will ever change our inherited racism anyway.

Nuke all the kikes and spics and beaners and potato niggers and Arabs and Turkroaches and Norks and chinks, didnus are whatever because they're killing themselves by the dozens anyway.
 
Picture this: You’re fed up with being the target of street harassment.

If you’re a woman, queer, trans, and/or gender non-conforming, it’s probably not hard to imagine. Just think of one of those days when you’ve gotten too many unsolicited comments on your appearance, too many requests to “smile,” too many strangers who feel entitled to your space, time, and image.

How would you feel? Insulted? Pissed off? Like you wish this guy would stop assuming he knows your own experience better than you do?

You’re probably saying yes. There’s a good chance that you’re saying, “This shit happens to me all the time, and I wish it would stop!” And you might find comfort in knowing that there’s a word, mansplaining, to describe the common and frustrating occurrence of men interrupting and explaining things to women and people of other genders.

I’ve been there, too.

:lol:

I don't know what's funnier, that or the plea for subscriptions that warns you of needing their resources to defeat the evil Trump.

And unfortunately, just as frequently, I’ve had white people try to explain racism to me, a woman of color. There’s a word for this phenomenon, too – whitesplaining. It’s incredibly frustrating to share my experiences with racism, only to have a white person try to speak over me about it – and often by belittling how racism hurts me.

If you’re white, you may have whitesplained without realizing it. To understand whitesplaining, now picture yourself in the following situation.

I’m venting about my day, and I tell you I’m angry that a white neighbor told me, “I don’t even see you as Black.”

Would you reassure me that my neighbor meant well? If you do, don’t be surprised if I’m just as annoyed as you would be if a man tried to explain your experience with street harassment to you.

Usually, signs of whitesplaining include a condescending tone and a paternalistic assumption that a person of color doesn’t know enough to accurately articulate their own experience.

Whitey is racis' 24/7 no matter what. We need black people to blacksplain this to us so we can stop being so damn offensive.

Like with other forms of privileged explaining, including mansplaining, people who whitesplain have been conditioned to believe that they’re somehow more qualified to speak about a marginalized group than a person who belongs to that group.

That’s why there’s no equivalent like “blacksplaining.” When a Black person talks about race with a white person, they don’t have the same institutional power as a white person who belongs to the dominant culture.

But wait, you just blacksplained to me what I'm doing wrong. But apparently it's different because I have institutional power I never knew I had. This is why even though Kanye West has more money than I'll ever see in five lifetimes I lord over him with tremendous white power from my ivory tower of whiteness.

Thank you for blackspaining- I mean setting me straight. You wuz kangz. I'd say I'm woke now. But that's a black term and I don't want to culturally appropriate anything.
