White person: you think you know more than me when it comes to race and treat me like my opinion doesnt matter

Me:

#its bc white people get this idea that once theyre an ‘ally’ their opinion is like super valuable and can overwrite the voices of poc #with a bonus side effect of them thinking that bc theyre more ‘articulate’ and ‘knowledgable’ about certain topics #they have a right to speak on them moreso than a poc #im sorry i dont care if you think a poc is dumb or wouldnt be able to explain redlining as well as you #dont treat them like they dont know these things exist #and i think its funny when they start thinking theyre more in tune with your culture than you are low key #like bc you read black twitter you think you are closer to black culture than like an actual black person #and listen some people may not be as in tune with their culture as they could be but its absolutely foul to discredit their belonging #or base it off of how much you expose yourself to #you are not black. did not grow up black. are not still black. you dont get to tell a black person what it means to be black #thats super fucking weird… like you think youre the guardian of the black race and if someone dont meet your standards #theyre not black enough. like hoowww do you not see the problem with policing blackness as a whole ass entire fucking white person #but ok im angry and im gonna shut up lmao #like ive realized that being black does not look like 1 thing and im sure as fuck not gonna let some yt tell me im not my literal race… #leave the subject matter of what it is to be black to actual black people fucking weirdos
