Unlearning How White People Ask Personal Questions
http://www.samefacts.com/2014/05/culture-and-civil-society/unlearning-how-white-people-ask-personal-questions/
Holy shit. I have ALWAYS thought the people around me were being unconscionably intrusive and power-playing in their starter conversations and they told me I was antisocial and oblivious to culture norms. Turns out, maybe Iâm just from a different culture.
****new link****
by Keith Humphreys - May 5, 2014 Â Â Â Â Â Â
When I met my fianceâs African-American stepfather, things did not start well. Stumbling for some way to start a conversation with a man whose life was unlike mine in almost every respect, I asked âSo, what do you do for a living?â.
He looked down at his shoes and said quietly âWell, Iâm unemployedâ.
At the time I cringed inwardly and recognized that I had committed a terrible social gaffe which seemed to scream âHey prospective in-law, since I am probably going to be a member of your family real soon, I thought I would let you know up front that I am a completely insensitive jackassâ. But I felt even worse years later when I came to appreciate the racial dimension of how I had humiliated my stepfather-in-law to be.
For that painful but necessary bit of knowledge I owe a white friend who throughout her childhood attended Chicago schools in a majority Black district. She passed along a marvelous book that helped her make sense of her own inter-racial experiences. It was Kochmanâs Black and White Styles in Conflict, and it had a lasting effect on me. One of the many things I learned from this anthropological treasure trove of a book is how race affects the personal questions we feel entitled to ask and the answers we receive in response.
My question to my stepfather was at the level of content a simple conversation starter (albeit a completely failed one). But at the level of process, it was an expression of power. Kochmanâs book sensitized me to middle class whitesâ tendency to ask personal questions without first considering whether they have a right to know the personal details of someone elseâs life. When we ask someone what they do for a living for example, we are also asking for at least partial information on their income, their status in the class hierarchy and their perceived importance in the world. Unbidden, that question can be quite an invasion. The presumption that one is entitled to such information is rarely made explicit, but that doesnât prevent it from forcing other people to make a painful choice: Disclose something they want to keep secret or flatly refuse to answer (which oddly enough usually makes them, rather than the questioner, look rude).
Kochmanâs book taught me a new word, which describes an indirect conversational technique he studied in urban Black communities: âsignifyingâ. He gives the example (as I recall it, 25 years on) of a marriage-minded black woman who is dating a man who pays for everything on their very nice dates. She wonders if he has a good job. But instead of grilling him with âSo what do you do for a living?â, she signifies âWhatever oil well you own, I hope it keeps pumping!â.
Her signifying in this way is a sensitive, respectful method to raise the issue she wants to know about because unlike my entitled direct question it keeps the control under the person whose personal information is of interest. Her comment could be reasonably responded to by her date as a funny joke, a bit of flirtation, or a wish for good luck. But of course it also shows that if the man freely chooses to reveal something like âThings look good for me financially: Iâm a certified public accountant at a big, stable firmâ, he can do so and know she will be interested.
Since reading Kochmanâs book, I have never again directly asked anyone what they do for a living. Instead my line is âSo how do you spend your time?â. Some people (particularly middle class white people) choose to answer that question in the bog standard way by describing their job. But other people choose to tell me about the compelling novel they are reading, what they enjoy about being a parent, the medical treatment they are getting for their bad back, whatever. Any of those answers flow just as smoothly from the signification in a way they wouldnât from a direct question about their vocation.
From the perspective of ameliorating all the racial pain in the world, this change in my behavior is a grain of sand in the Sahara. But I pass this experience along nonetheless, for two reasons. First, very generally, if any of us human beings can easily engage in small kindnesses, we should. Second, specific to race, if those of us who have more power can learn to refrain from using it to harm people in any way â major or minor â we should do that too.
This is really useful stuff â as someone whoâs on disability and knows a ton of people in the same boat, âWhat do you do for a living?â can be such a loaded question. âHow do you spend your time?â is a much more compassionate thing to ask, because you can just enthuse about what youâre writing or how great your cats are or whatever.
IM NOT CRYING YOUâRE CRYING SHUT THE FUCK UP
[transcription:
Have you ever wondered about like cave paintings? Like, âWhat were they doing? These donâtâŚÂ look very good,â -chuckles- In fact, almost every cave painting has Spaghetti Lines, which are webs of lines drawn over-top images, which you can see here.
-picture changes to a grayscale image of a deer standing in tall grass-
And hereâs an example of natural Spaghetti Lines in nature, but weâll get to that in a second.
-picture changes to a photo paleolithic drawing of a mammoth. Alongside the photo is a tracing of the drawing, to clarify the lines-
The second weird thing is like sometimes animals are given extra body parts, like here the mammoth has two trunks. And here, thereâs a drawing of an antelope or a deer, it looks like, that seems to have two heads.
For a long time, people would assume like maybe the Spaghetti Lines were just some kind of paleolithic graffiti, and maybe the animals were these kind of religious creatures that they had mythologized. But then, in 1993, a German scholar went into this cave in southern France, and it changed everything.
Unlike the other caves he had been to, this one was very poorly funded, so it had no artificial lights, and he had to be guided in by a local farmer, with nothing but a flickering lantern to guide his way. Here is how he described the experience.Â
He said, âM. Lapeyre finished his story and wanted to move on. I encouraged him to remain and to slowly swing his lantern back and forth a few feet from the cave wall. As he moved the light, I saw the colors of the tectiform begin to shift. When the lamp arced to the left, the blacks faded, the browns became red and the red intensified. When the light moved to the right, the pattern reversed, creating a shifting color scheme. Moreover, the engraved lines under and around the tectiform became animated. Suddenly, the head of one creature stood out clearly. It lived for a second, then faded as another appeared. The spaghetti lines were no longer a confused two-dimensional pattern. Rather, they became a forest or a bramble patch that concealed and then revealed the animals within. By firelight, a secret of the cave painters was exposed. In the space of a few moments, I saw cuts and dissolves, change and movement. Form appeared and disappeared. Colors shifted and changed. In short, I was watching a movie.â
Understood this way, the antelope with two heads, under the dance of the firelight, is an antelope going from grazing to checking for predators. And the mammoth with two or three trunks becomes a mammoth in motion, swinging his trunk.
Thereâs something beautiful to me about knowing that hundreds of thousands of years ago, ancient humans descended into the depths to watch movies.

About 4.5 years late but I finally beat XV. The game is a special kind of experience despite being flawed in so many aspects, and yet I havenât felt this way after beating a FF game since X. Thatâs enough to make it a favorite for me.Â

reblogging here because i can see this being relevant to anyone whoâs ever tried to get out of an abusive relationship
Reblogging because that last comment made me reread the whole thing in a new light and realize this could be vital information. So, putting it out there for everyone, and hoping no one ever really needs it.

final fantasy characters:
Now that Iâm studying bio, may I just say how fervently I wish my primary association with the words âalpha, beta, omegaâ was literally anything other than what it is
My nutrition professor was talking about vitamins and said, âthe only reason you all even know the words alpha and omega is because of sororities,â and I wanted so badly to raise my hand and be like âif youâre gonna be a dick for some reason, please let me explain to you in depth my immediate connotations for those wordsâ
Iâm in training to become a phlebotomist and at my last class we did blood typing and let me tell you when I walked into the lab to see A/B/O written in massive letters on the whiteboard I felt six years come off my lifespan
#i only know about this in a church context?#assuming this is some gay kink though knowing this website
