NICE White ladies hear ME LOUD & CLEAR! We DGAF if you’re “nice” that niceness is UTTERLY USELESS to US! It’s how you uphold a VIOLENT STATUS QUO in the name of “niceness” “politeness” not making waves. It’s also where your White savior BS comes from. Meditate on these slides!
Being anti racist doesn’t mean being extra nice to Black people, it means being MEAN to RACISTS! Making is socially unacceptable to be one! Calling them out, voting against them, actually PROTECTING POC in MEANINGFUL ways not doing superficial things that make U feel good!
Also when you as a WW stress how NICE you are to Black people I don’t actually HEAR niceness I hear that it’s an EFFORT for you to be nice to us because it doesn’t come naturally. I hear Miss Millie from The Color Purple
“I’ve always been good to YOU PEOPLE”
1 last thing, the more you have to ANNOUNCE you ARE SOMETHING it’s because your actions aren’t speaking for you! So when U tell me you’re “nice” or you’re an “ally” I don’t believe you are EITHER of those things! Shaq doesn’t announce that he’s tall he just shows up! Just show up
Maybe you need to hear it from another WW
