nostr:npub1ukwldufk3zeljw9cmkyvevk2cxd08mqujrtj2v5xfgt6psf8gr7ssvjk4y Yep. Doesn't matter who you are, what you've accomplished. Most white people don't actually SEE us, they just see Black.

And that's fine, if you can maintain a perspective of those things as "a thing about which a bunch of scientific types were full of shit" and not "unassailable aspect of my personal identity"
nostr:npub199d7lh2hxsnrd6qa8eyw9ptq6xj5snfgmvpttuy656javaqgrk4qrgxwjc Yep. They're examples.
nostr:npub1ej68dzernetvgqh3gpk006eh509jnmyzptwqcsr7y772vtf3j2dqpxpvaa Nope. You're definitely not the only one. I'm constantly interrogating things I learned growing up to root out stupidity and white supremacy. We all need to ask where ideas/beliefs really come from. We went to school here. We all were taught things that were wrong.
nostr:npub199d7lh2hxsnrd6qa8eyw9ptq6xj5snfgmvpttuy656javaqgrk4qrgxwjc There are only a couple of arenas in this country where Black people are actually allowed to succeed - music and athletics. And, I said ALLOWED. We're virtually locked out of everything else. Sure, there are some, but the struggle they've endured is ridiculous. Also, while some have titles, the question is do they have power?
Allowing people to entertain white people, either through song or athletics, is not equality.
nostr:npub17ftjdrfghrazyfqjnad4cdh597jjfn94xww7hjzn9m4dc6pjuhcqvteemz Yeah, "not racist" is a non-starter. If you grew up here, were socialized here, it's impossible to not have been/be affected by the racist undercurrent that exists in every single arena in this nation. nostr:npub109mzhdpmtdydddkx0r8r60m7ejhlyaudyhk3xkevg0ylstyg033snqpyxm
nostr:npub1pe7uqxtn8k429hpq7ftcdsawtkgwc9gf2r7zpk82ynvr3al8vh6sjtxpvn Absolutely. I adopt the best ways of doing things from the various cultures I come into contact with. My kids told me they didn't realize their lives were a combo play of many different ways of seeing things/doing things until college. nostr:npub1hverte66k9km8a46cam7qqu8h86rk22ugrxn9dajz9xwh374ydgszxlgwc

nostr:npub1x4gdyjflt4zjg5v5rmdlf45ef7rhrp7330cd66qxynh72mtje8aszcfmqr You're doing it right. Keep interrogating all the little stuff. That's how you get to the right place.nostr:npub109mzhdpmtdydddkx0r8r60m7ejhlyaudyhk3xkevg0ylstyg033snqpyxm
nostr:npub109mzhdpmtdydddkx0r8r60m7ejhlyaudyhk3xkevg0ylstyg033snqpyxm You're doing it right. Keep doing what you do.✊🏾 ❤️
nostr:npub1c4fyu9alkwmvxf7h8a02xsuwu4km3qwpeqp77cs9sp5yeggufjwqqlpznd Yep. Totally fucking dumb.
The only people fooled by racism is the racist.
Racism is an embarrassing weakness.
nostr:npub199d7lh2hxsnrd6qa8eyw9ptq6xj5snfgmvpttuy656javaqgrk4qrgxwjc I'll look into it where I am. Thanks for the suggestion.😊
"Scapegoating" is the American word for oppressing.
