Global South feminists are reclaiming refugee discourse this 7th July.
Recently, 49 white South Africans claimed “refugee” status in the United States – a move that dangerously conflates white settler discomfort with real exile.

Last month, after finishing Camp Damascus, I decided to pick up my second ever nonfiction book, #WhiteFragility by #RobinDiAngelo, at the recommendation of someone on here. While it took a little while to learn to spot when my focus is drifting and refocus, I've taken to it so much better than expected! I'm about 2/3 through it now and having virtually no focus issues anymore. My problem now is just picking it up every day, since my gaming habit has finally also regained my attention.
We can’t strip O’Leary of his citizenship, but can we at least strongly suggest he never return to Canada or be near a Canadian flag again?
What a corrupt toad. No one with a shred of morality respects this guy.
“Even CNN’s token Republican Scott Jennings sat back and laughed when the Canadian-born businessman went into full meltdown on Tuesday’s NewsNight.”
@GottaLaff we appear to have reached the the bottom of the slippery slope that started when some offended white racist said: ‘but that — insert racialized person — is being racist toward MEEE’

#AmReading: #WhiteFragility von #RobinDiAngelo.
Ich hab das Buch schon lange im Blick gehabt, es ist ja auch viel zitiert, aber ich hatte es lange nicht im Zugriff.
.. es mir dann aber #kürzlich endlich mal gekauft und nun lese ich es eben auch.
Ich hab die englische Ausgabe.
This meme is just as valid if you imagine replacing #Trump/Vance talking to Zelinsky with White America talking to Black America.

Hmm.
Am I "depressed and vague"?
Yeah. Pretty much. I'm not pleased by the state of things (who is?), and I'm deliberately vague at times so as not to hurt some feelings.
Do I think everyone who disagrees with me is racist?
Lol. Are you high?
People who defend racism are racist; people who think Paul McCartney is the best Beatle aren't racist (necessarily), they are just wrong.
Get a grip. Take your medicine.

You just can’t make this up.
Add “having vocal cords that work” in the list of things one can’t do while Black. The latest example stems from a cafeteria worker in Nevada who filed a lawsuit because a few white teachers complained about her “Black voice.”

When I read White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo in the summer of 2020, I had only started my anti-Racism reading and learning. The phenomena discussed in the book felt academic as it wasn’t something I had personally observed.

"Racism is the expression and exercise of a power relationship."
"You don't vote far right out of misunderstanding or lack of education but to defend a racial order."
"You've achieved a little status and you don't want to be robbed of the fruits of your labour."

"Let’s take that number-one narrative, which is I was taught to treat everyone the same. You know, actually no one was - or could be taught to treat everyone the same. We can’t do it. We don’t do it."
"A white progressive generally believes niceness is all that it takes. As long as I’m nice and friendly, I’m finished. And niceness not only is not courageous. But niceness is not going to get racism on the table."

" the tactic many white women employ to muster sympathy and avoid accountability..."
""... white women are equally aware their race privileges them ... In this context, their tearful displays are a form of emotional and psychological violence that reinforce the very system of white dominance that many white women claim to oppose."
