Falling For Tragedy

I hate explaining dog whistles to white people because they look at you like you're a goddamn conspiracy theorist. Like Lord forbid bigotry is more subtle than someone shouting "I HATE (INSERT SLUR)" to an oppressed person's face and violently beating the shit out of them.

A good male ally understands the intent behind “why are men?” A great male ally volunteers a “why are men?” when their friends are complaining about a man behaving poorly.

i appreciate the amount of people reblogging this despite me not really tagging this at all. im glad many of people feel the same anger i do.

really i think the most insidious part of white supremacy is the way it will convince white people everything is actually About Them. being called out isn’t about you. poc expressing frustration at your behaviour isn’t about you. it’s about how you are affecting others. step one is literally just de-centre yourself from the conversation. anyone who’s not white has already had to learn this lesson the hard way and it gets tiring waiting for the rest of you to catch up
