(somewhat hysterical) reading + images of the handwritten text

“Je hisserai une voile noire en arrivant. Je ferai couler du vin sur les marbres de son palais, les femmes quitteront leur gynécée en hurlant des chants de bonheur et de jouissance. Je m’avancerai dans la salle du trône le visage masqué sous du tissu, et il se lèvera pour accueillir la princesse de Bacchus, et il sera frappé d’horreur devant ma face sanglante de taureau.”

at the den’s end where the dark glimmers soothed away from anger at the den’s end where the sky worm lies on its old love, wronged, huddled up in the cloak of night, its tongue sharp and sad

The more non surgical plastic surgery shit is shoved in my face and like homogenized Instagram face is shoved in my face the more comfortable I get with being how I look without any makeup on or anything . Who has the fucking time and energy to invest in this bullshit

I frankly don't understand what you don't get. The post is not aggressive and very educational. Your reaction however seems rather touchy. There is no hint of racism whatsoever in there, what is disturbing is that you thought there was... No essentialism either. It clearly states : 'socialized into'. I don't like to be offensive but at this point I am tempted to ask whether you've actually read the post.

As for the totalitarian part: what? Why? There is no control of thought here. There is someone telling us how we can be and do better regarding people of colour. Do you feel threatened because a poc demands respect from you? Do you feel that it is restraining your freedom? If so, that is very concerning. 1984 depicts a society devoid of empathy ; what's said here is that you can achieve empathy by understanding and going against your own social construction.

Here's a nice thread on the same concept : https://twitter.com/thearmchaircom/status/1019050649495973888?s=19

Also, I understand why the person blocked you. It's extremely tiring to have your human rights being 'a discussion'. Denying that we live in a society based on white supremacy is denying that non white folks have it harder, and therefore denying that they have a claim to better human rights.

You aren't owed a conversation with this person.

What is White Fragility?

Robin DiAngelo is a professor at Westfield State University and author of What Does it Mean to Be White? Developing White Racial Literacy.

I’m sure you’ve all seen these ‘defensive moves’ in action before. “I didn’t mean anything by it” “I wasn’t trying to be offensive” “I have a black friend” “Not all white people”

People are often more worried about being called a racist than actually doing something racist. In America white people often don’t even have to consider race. They often think of themselves as “raceless” white is conditioned to be the norm and everyone else is considered “raced” or “colored”. White fragility allows white people to govern when and how race is discussed. White people expect to be educated on racism, and in a nice way.

Why Is It A Bad Thing?

White people never learn as a result and are allowed to continue saying and doing racist things. White people prefer to hear these things from other white people but because other white people don’t know enough about racism, they cycle continues. When people of color do things like the BLACKLIVESMATTER movement, many white peoples responses were “all lives matter” this is white fragility. Proclaiming that black lives matter does not inherently mean that other lives don’t. This statement is made because society continually shows us that black lives don’t matter in america and these are the lives that need the affirming. We already know that white lives matter, it doesn’t need to be stated. White people are very used to being the center of things and when they aren’t it makes them uncomfortable.

Why Does This Happen?

Most people don’t fully grasp the idea of systemic racism and that we live in a racist society that perpetuates racist ideas. We are socialized into white supremacy.
