I don’t know who needs to heard this but you can be proud of being white and it wouldn’t be racistBro everybody thinks performative white guilt people are annoying as fuck. The only people that want white people to do that shit are the very small sliver of grifter “activists” who take money from them lmao that performative white guilt shit is 100% ineffectual lib shit and is by no means required to be an anti-racist white person.
White Liberals doing performative guilt definitely is a thing that happens, and it’s goofy as hell, and only plays into the hands of white supremacists who point at them and go “this is what they want you to feel like, white man” It happens, it’s ineffectual, it’s stupid. It also has no bearing on the realities of institutional racism. Institutional racism doesn’t suddenly not exist because a few White Liberals decided to prostrate instead of doing any genuine organizing work.
I’m black and grew up in a predominantly white neighborhood, private schools, private universities. No one tells you you are less straight to your face, but you always get “you are so well spoken for a black girl” or “you are so pretty for a black girl” or the immediate assumptions of first generation uni student etc. Do you even know how that makes someone feel? As if black people cant be eloquent and beautiful and educated for generations by nature alone.
That’s not really an excuse though. Black women have some of the highest rates of college degrees, so even if I was well spoken doesn’t it statistically make sense? Plenty of people don’t interact with white people daily and no one says you are so pretty and well spoken for a white girl despite the fact that 35% of white adults in the US are functionally illiterate (compared to the 23% illiteracy rate of black adults)
U could just say someone is well spoken.. that’s an amazing compliment but adding in their race completely voids the compliment bc ur suggest that black people typically aren’t that well spoken. Even if u dont interact with other races it only takes common sense to know that is a complete asshole thing to say and mind u theres a FUCK TON of white people who arent well spoken either but u wouldnt say that to them
Yes bc all the white murderers and criminals are so honest and trustworthy.. all the white men who rape women are sooo trustworthy and peaceful.. name one thing about being white that u are proud about that is distinct to other races? Ur proud to have privilege? As another white person.. I genuinely do not understand u at all
