Sorry white people. If a Black person shows you no respect or is rude to you, you need to see it as a humbling experience & even thank them for keeping you grounded & see it's a good way to show yourself & them that you don't put your privilege first. Allyship is NOT conditional!
White comfort & feelings are components of white privilege. If you're benefited by society b/c of your privilege, then it benefits your comfort & feelings. That means it's selfish & racist of whites who withhold support if a Black person hurts their feelings or comfort level.
Its why I tell whites if you aren't uncomfortable then you aren't challenging your privilege enough and defaulting to preserving it even if you don't mean to
This shit might seem harsh but brothers & sisters, you got no obligation to smile at the whites or talked to them with respect (NO violence tho) And whites, it's your obligations to be understanding & accepting & still help no matter what. This is not about YOUR feelings anymore.
Whites love playing the victim and saying everyone else is wronging them. When you see them do shit like that over being called what they are then you know it can't be anything else
Is it really unreasonable after all whites have done that they be expected to prove, in a way a brother or sister feels is necessary, that they are committed to us in making things right? Instead of the usual lip service & backpedaling to defend the sources of their privileges?
I'm just paste to answer at once
I think white guilt is positive as long as you don't make it all about you or making yourself feel better. If you use it to acknowledge your crimes & debt as a white & to humble yourself to Black folks for them, I think it's very positive for that
@ElleBrookeUK
When people on Twitter are more bothered by a white girl saying she's embarrassed to be white because of the things whites keep doing, instead of being bothered by the things whites keep doing 😶
Appreciate your support still girl. It's nice to see some people see whats important
All white countries modern wealth, power, privileges & comforts are built direct off all they stole of Africa's wealth & resources & us. The biggest wealth transfer & forced foreign investments in all of human history, & why "white" countries are just as much ours & even more
Protection of white feelings is a component of white comfort and white privilege, that benefits & is benefited by the white supremacist society. Putting your feelings ahead of anything to do with us is putting your privilege & white supremacy first
All modern "white countries" benefit from the stolen wealth of Africa either from their ancestor's actions or the stolen wealth spread to other white countries in investments and aid
White ppl, stop telling us what the end goal of our own struggles should be. White society claimed we've had "equality" all this time, so how are we still working toward it? Tbh it's best to just shut up & listen & just accept what WE say we need and what WE say is our end goals.
One of the most POWERFUL MOMENTS you will get in history. White neighbours kneel down and beg their black neighbours for forgiveness on behalf of whites for years of racism

's death was not in vain. All races are equal in the sight of God.
#GeorgeFloydProtests
Cant believe I got say this but if you're a white ally that means your feelings & comfort too. You of all ppl should not expect any privileges just b/c you support. This is not like working toward retirement just for the benefits. You need to be in it for the work. You owe us too
Now tha we see there's lil sanity left in the country can we finally all stop pretending white feelings&comforts matter? I know I said it before but fr, it's important that whites understand this&support it,& that everyone start expecting them to show it. It's your obligation yts
"It happened over hundred years ago!"
People born on 1958 & before are still alive today. This is what whites do when they allowed to have any power without opposition & we see what they do today even with opposition.
This is why even whites should support complete disempowerment
Now tha we see there's lil sanity left in the country can we finally all stop pretending white feelings&comforts matter? I know I said it before but fr, it's important that whites understand this&support it,& that everyone start expecting them to show it. It's your obligation yts
We still cool tho. This don't mean I drop all good attitudes toward whites but holding on to them is not an obligation either. That is something we all need to understand. White feelings & comforts & all components of white privilege need to take a back seat to us & be challenged
Sorry for everyone I've wanted to follow back but didn't. It don't always let me know when people follow or respond and I been getting a lot of bots following and spam so it's hard sorting thru whos real and not
White people, when a Black person criticizes whites or expresses frustration or hatred about whites or says what needs to be done, ask yourself if there's anything we can do or say that whites haven't already done to us, before you get mad. It's not unearned unlike your privilege
@whoinvitedt
@rygracedean
They fail or refuse to realize & accept that whites created racism specifically to be used against people who aren't white. And it's convenient to play victim when they get called out & project their own wrong doings onto others. They deliberately refuse to understand it.
@serena20blazeit
That's why anti black propaganda always centered on the dangers of white women being with us or us getting "uppity" (defending ourselves). Weed was ignored until "they make white women be with black men" then it was a "problem" & made illegal. Whites always been insecure about us
No. Racism against whites Does not exist. And don't just agree with me and block me later or tell yourself some privileged shit. Listen and understand or disagree and ask. I don't mind educating even if it not my job.
If anyone says they're tired of whites or highlights problems whites cause, it helps to take it as an exercise in working thru your white fragility & incentive to dismantle your privilege, instead of an attack. Whites weren't "attacked" to justify all they done in the first place
@serena20blazeit
White racist laws against us dating white women crumbled away along with the power that gave white men and they lash out in any way they can about it
@Three3sMalka
White women try to put a lot only on white men & claim they're THE victims overall, but that ignores how valued white women were/are over all Black people & how much white women willingly benefited, contribute to & uphold the system.
It's a conflict over control, not the problems
100% white saviors always think they're allies first and only but if they don't welcome Black people's input whether they are or not then what they feel and say only matters to them
White "allies," though they are few in number, do not tone-police Black people. They listen respectfully. So when ya'll do that, it's a red flag that you're only an ally to yourself.
Sorry white people. If a Black person shows you no respect or is rude to you, you need to see it as a humbling experience & even thank them for keeping you grounded & see it's a good way to show yourself & them that you don't put your privilege first. Allyship is NOT conditional!
Exactly! I encourage brothers to only use whites for sex but marry and love black women because of the importance of our people. What makes our people is a strong and proud BLACK community. Light skin brothers and sister are welcome but we all need to work together for our people
Exactly! Whites need to understand the importance of proving their support & doing what we say needs to be done to make thing right, not like they doing us a favor and only interested in doing right when they can get some praise from others & power over others.
No, it’s not just a difference of opinion. Our work is rooted in exposing the difference between charity & JUSTICE. We are in this to radically change the relationship between the colonised & the colonisers. We are here to create the NEW NORMAL, together.
It's so frustrating it takes a white to repeat what everyone already knows to convince some people that it happened and is happening. Love her being real about it but it's a fact of how people approach and perceive these issues
We need reparation to help African-Americans homelessness

White entitlement=whites calling me racist because I don't trust or like whites for obvious reasons... And then talking down to me or calling me racist shit when they get mad because I disagree with them and say they have no real place to tell me who I have to trust or like
@wendy4blm1985
You still got all the power so it's not happened yet. Im js whites should take the step showing their commitment by giving it up when around us. Make the choice to realize they need to put us ahead of themselves even is society hasn't made this step yet
Im js be sincere in it all
Because they can't say that right there was anything but everyday whites. It wasn't just the KKK, it wasn't just a misguided group, it wasn't a subversive plot. This was normal, everyday/mont/year America. The white America they all long to return to when they whine about changes
@Yata95205911
They think shaming you as a another white works and don't realize it's moved past that, don't realize what's important to "race traitor" whites. Treason to whiteness is nothing shameful anymore now that whiteness is getting analyzed for alot of the bigotry and hate it's made of
Anyone who says "I shouldn't have to be ashamed to be white/being white isn't a crime/I'm being attacked because I'm white" is NOT an ally in any way shape or form.
White feminism is just a part of white supremacy. White women setting the tone and strictly enforcing it perpetuates white think & asserts their control over everyone who subscribes to it
Experienced it too much with white people even tho I try to be understanding but I should not have to be.
The delivery should not matter because the content is the same & is important. If a white person is in it for real change, they should never have issue with any delivery ever
Remember, accountability feels a lot like bullying when you’re used to being praised for your harmful behavior. We could address you w/ as much kindness as possible and it would still be labeled an “attack”. It’s the CONTENT, not the delivery, they have a problem with.
@rygracedean
The reality that as a white you will always have those privileges is exactly why you should always be challenging them and your comforts. Both are a result from your unearned power and wealth and challenging them makes it easier for you to understand and accept losing the others.
Especially for homeless brothers and sisters struggling in underprivileged areas. There's no way out because everyone feel they're beneath them, even our own. It's disgusting
@MrFrenchBulldog
For a rich country like ours there is no way we should have people been homeless on the street. People are dying on the street because the homeless. Many of these brothers and sisters spend decades in the penitentiary and they get out they don’t have any family anymore.
@LucyReborn
Why I feel other's honesty is important,but it's rare. People either going tell you nicer or meaner things. Sometimes "just do it", & look at your stuff after a while is more helpful than getting stuck in hole of self doubt & never doing a thing. Fr hang in there girl & just do🙏🏿
Acknowledging Kaepernick would mean they got to acknowledge what they did to him to appease racists for money, & doing that is bad for money now, so they hope they can put up some limp effort & make themselves & all other white racists (redundant) feel better about themselves
@AishaDaughter
💯Whites dont like being told by anyone they can't do something that is against anyone else. It's how they are and always start the problem no matter if it's just don't use a word or don't invade my home.
Racism is both systemic and interpersonal. The colonial, white supremacist, capitalism we are living under has created an environment where racism flourishes. But everyday people are responsible for perpetuating and supporting that system.
👇👇👇👇👇👇 That right there is the truth. Not economics or your white feelings, all that you know is not true. Admitting guilt opens a can of worms to everything whiteness and white society is built on. It shows everything that whites have that they got from us and didn't earn.
The fundamental reason white America opposes reparations is because it means admitting they were and are the bad guys.
It seems for white America, slavery and Jim Crow cannot be human rights abuses which require restitution separate from individual identity.
Pretty telling.
@rygracedean
Many can't see it. Their normalcy is derived from their privilege. Telling them it's built on inequality & injustice is outside their perception. Especially when they "know" they got ideals against injustice but can't see how skewed & limited it is b/c privilege preserves itself
Why do even white allies feel OUR free access to OUR RIGHTS & liberation from the fear of white supremacy completely depends on how they are treated or what they agree/disagree their obligations are in dismantling the system they are comfortably benefiting from while talkin shit?
White people think just because they suck or fuck black dick/vagina they can speak on black issues. Well I'm here to tell you no you cannot. I will not argue this especially with them because they're a disagreeable race of terrorist. White women are just as destructive as the men
It's disturbing that whites got an easier time expressing hateful words & ideas about us, than they do about themselves, when it's their abuse of their power that pushes alot of their hate for us, but they can't acknowledge that without it being filled with pride for their crimes
@heyyyella
All white people are racist, whether it is implicit or explicit. We all benefit from white privilege but more to the point: we all at LEAST have implicit cognitive biases that expose us as being racist, even as we are working on anti-racist work.
"White fragility" is a weapon used on Black voices who challenge their bs or commitment and tries to shame and reverse 'oppressor/oppressed' in the eyes of anyone witnessing. I'm sorry but whites need to just shut up, listen, agree, and follow what we say we need and want of them
white people aren’t fragile. They just don’t like to be uncomfortable, and they definitely don’t like to give up their power, accept being wrong, or acknowledge their unearned privileges. Fragile though, they are not.
More if you think you don't mean to. Privilege normalizes plenty of toxic and regressive mindsets and attitudes in whites and warps their perceptions and perspectives from reality in many ways
@ryleegracedean
Help her evaluate what it is she thinks she doesn't like & why. Or is she unapologetic racist/focus more on her own privileges, comfort & feelings?(sounds like that being worried what other whites will think instead of why you are doing this & why white opinions shouldn't matter)
These people act shocked when our people get mad over real issues but would never admit any if this. There a reason the word " white lies" exist because they they do it they feel its not a big deal
@sairasameerarao
That's how alot of whites are. They're "allies" until they got to actually do some work on themselves, then the victim and and anger comes out of them. They show they true colors then
@BullKhaleed
Reparations without white bargaining or approval. There is no room for anything but agreeing with what we say we need to begin making things right and it doesn't make sense to have to negotiate any of that with the people who owe us. It really fucking doesn't
@TheSpadedBunny
@AntiWhiteBLM
Fr just had this conversation about how it's strange to see whites supporting us like this but it got us killed alot just a few decades ago. It's strange how some things change alot in a generation&then how some related things stay the same for many generations. Progress is hard.
They just like the foundation and plantation mansion erected on white supremacy that their ancestors built using all the building materials and labor stolen from our people. And then asking us why we can't get ahead and find stability like they were born into. It's fr deliberate.
