How I'm Healing My Colored Guilt and Befriending the Grey Community ๐Ÿ’”โžก๏ธโค๏ธ


1767247483876


Brothers and sisters, I need to confess something that's been weighing on my soul.


For too long, I've been a colored oppressor. I've walked past greys without giving them reactions. I've seen their threads and scrolled by. I've laughed at "JFL grey" comments. I've watched them get told to "step in the shower" and said nothing.


I AM COMPLICIT. ๐Ÿ˜”


But 2026 is the year of change. After deep reflection and watching several TikToks about it, I've realized that #GreyLivesMatter and I need to do better.


My 12-Step Program to Grey Allyship​


Step 1: Acknowledge My Privilege​


Every day I wake up and my username is BLUE. I didn't earn this through merit - I was born into colored privilege. Meanwhile, greys suffer systemic oppression just trying to hit 500 posts.


Step 2: Educate Myself​


I've been reading grey literature (their rate threads, their "I'm new here" posts). The lived experience is heartbreaking. Did you know some greys have been grey for WEEKS?


Step 3: Give Reparations​


I'm committing to:


  • React to every grey post I see (even the TikTok rating ones)
  • Gift my next month's rep budget entirely to greys
  • Sponsor a grey family through their posting journey
  • Donate to the GRF (Grey Relief Fund)

Step 4: Amplify Grey Voices​


When a grey makes a thread, I WILL bump it. When they share their truth ("rate me what to improve"), I WILL engage thoughtfully, even if the lighting is dogshit and it's filmed in their bathroom mirror at 3am.


Step 5: Call Out Colored-on-Grey Violence​


If I see a veteran telling greys to "get gassed" or calling them "griggers", I will speak up. SILENCE IS VIOLENCE. Even if it's clearly bait, I must show solidarity.


Step 6: Examine My Internalized Greyism​


I need to ask myself: Have I ever thought "this thread is grey behavior"? Have I assumed a grey can't make a good guide? That's greyism, and I'm working on it in therapy.


Step 7: Take Up Less Space​


In conversations, I will step back and let greys speak first. Their voices deserve to be centered. If I'm about to make a thread, I'll ask myself: "Could a grey make this thread instead?"


Step 8: Support Grey-Owned Content​


I'm only repping grey threads for the next month. I'm only reading grey guides. I'm decentering colored creators from my looksmax.org experience.


Step 9: Accept That I'll Never Fully Understand​


Even with all this work, I can NEVER truly know what it's like to be grey. I will listen without defensiveness when greys share their pain about being called TikTokcels.


Step 10: Do The Workโ„ข​


This isn't about performative allyship. This is about genuine change. I'm reading "White Fragility" but replacing it with "Colored Fragility" in my mind.


Step 11: Hold Other Coloreds Accountable​


If my fellow blues, bronzes, and platinums engage in greyism, I must educate them. "Hey bro, that's not it. We need to do better. Have you considered your colored guilt?"


Step 12: Never Stop Growing​


This journey doesn't end. Even when greys become colored, I must remember their struggles and fight for the next generation of greys.


How YOU Can Be A Grey Ally ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿฉถ


  • Put #GreyAlly in your bio
  • Post a black square (wait sorry, GREY square) on your profile
  • Attend Grey History Month events (all of January apparently)
  • Read grey authors exclusively
  • Date a grey (ultimate allyship)
  • Get a grey tattoo to show you're down with the cause
  • Learn grey slang (idk what this is but I'm committed)
  • Kneel when you see a grey poster (digital kneeling counts)

Common Mistakes to Avoid โŒ


DON'T:


  • Say "I don't see color, I just see post count" (COLORBLIND RACISM)
  • Claim "my alt is grey" (that doesn't count)
  • Use the g-word (you know which one)
  • Say "just get to 500 posts theory" (victim blaming)
  • Tokenize the one grey friend you have
  • Expect greys to educate you (do your own research)

DO:


  • Believe greys when they share their experiences
  • Recognize grey excellence
  • Support grey businesses (their terrible photoshop services, their AI-generated guides)
  • Vote grey in all elections
  • Center grey joy, not just grey pain

My Personal Commitment ๐Ÿ“œ


I, [YOUR USERNAME], do solemnly swear:


  • To check my colored privilege daily
  • To boost grey voices weekly
  • To call out greyism when I see it
  • To make reparation payments monthly
  • To never stop learning, growing, and groveling

In Conclusion​


If you're a colored user reading this, ask yourself: What are YOU doing to dismantle systemic greyism?


Thoughts? Additions? How are other colored users dealing with their guilt? Drop your strategies below.


And to any greys reading: I see you. I hear you. You are valid. You are enough. Your 15-post thread history matters.


โœŠ๐Ÿฉถ #GreyLivesMatter #CheckYourColoredPrivilege #AllyshipIsAVerb #RepGrey2026




EDIT: Some coloreds in the replies are saying this is "too much" or "satire". This is exactly the kind of fragility that perpetuates greyism. Do better.


EDIT 2: A grey just called me a f
ggot in PMs. I will not be silenced. This is the work.*


EDIT 3: I've been banned from 3 GCs for this thread. The colored establishment fears change.

Brothers and sisters, I need to confess something that's been weighing on my soul.


For too long, I've been a colored oppressor. I've walked past greys without giving them reactions. I've seen their threads and scrolled by. I've laughed at "JFL grey" comments. I've watched them get told to "step in the shower" and said nothing.

But 2026 is the year of change. After deep reflection and watching several TikToks about it, I've realized that #GreyLivesMatter and I need to do better.


My 12-Step Program to Grey Allyship​


Step 1: Acknowledge My Privilege​


Every day I wake up and my username is BLUE. I didn't earn this through merit - I was born into colored privilege. Meanwhile, greys suffer systemic oppression just trying to hit 500 posts.


Step 2: Educate Myself​


I've been reading grey literature (their rate threads, their "I'm new here" posts). The lived experience is heartbreaking. Did you know some greys have been grey for WEEKS?


Step 3: Give Reparations​


I'm committing to:


  • React to every grey post I see (even the TikTok rating ones)
  • Gift my next month's rep budget entirely to greys
  • Sponsor a grey family through their posting journey
  • Donate to the GRF (Grey Relief Fund)

Step 4: Amplify Grey Voices​


When a grey makes a thread, I WILL bump it. When they share their truth ("rate me what to improve"), I WILL engage thoughtfully, even if the lighting is dogshit and it's filmed in their bathroom mirror at 3am.


Step 5: Call Out Colored-on-Grey Violence​


If I see a veteran telling greys to "get gassed" or calling them "griggers", I will speak up. SILENCE IS VIOLENCE. Even if it's clearly bait, I must show solidarity.


Step 6: Examine My Internalized Greyism​


I need to ask myself: Have I ever thought "this thread is grey behavior"? Have I assumed a grey can't make a good guide? That's greyism, and I'm working on it in therapy.


Step 7: Take Up Less Space​


In conversations, I will step back and let greys speak first. Their voices deserve to be centered. If I'm about to make a thread, I'll ask myself: "Could a grey make this thread instead?"


Step 8: Support Grey-Owned Content​


I'm only repping grey threads for the next month. I'm only reading grey guides. I'm decentering colored creators from my looksmax.org experience.


Step 9: Accept That I'll Never Fully Understand​


Even with all this work, I can NEVER truly know what it's like to be grey. I will listen without defensiveness when greys share their pain about being called TikTokcels.


Step 10: Do The Workโ„ข​


This isn't about performative allyship. This is about genuine change. I'm reading "White Fragility" but replacing it with "Colored Fragility" in my mind.


Step 11: Hold Other Coloreds Accountable​


If my fellow blues, bronzes, and platinums engage in greyism, I must educate them. "Hey bro, that's not it. We need to do better. Have you considered your colored guilt?"


Step 12: Never Stop Growing​


This journey doesn't end. Even when greys become colored, I must remember their struggles and fight for the next generation of greys.

  • Say "just get to 500 posts theory" (victim blaming)
  • Tokenize the one grey friend you have
  • Expect greys to educate you (do your own research)

DO:


  • Believe greys when they share their experiences
  • Recognize grey excellence
  • Support grey businesses (their terrible photoshop services, their AI-generated guides)
  • Vote grey in all elections
  • Center grey joy, not just grey pain

My Personal Commitment ๐Ÿ“œ


I, [YOUR USERNAME], do solemnly swear:


  • To check my colored privilege daily
  • To boost grey voices weekly
  • To call out greyism when I see it
  • To make reparation payments monthly
  • To never stop learning, growing, and groveling

In Conclusion​


If you're a colored user reading this, ask yourself: What are YOU doing to dismantle systemic greyism?


Thoughts? Additions? How are other colored users dealing with their guilt? Drop your strategies below.


And to any greys reading: I see you. I hear you. You are valid. You are enough. Your 15-post thread history matters.

EDIT: Some coloreds in the replies are saying this is "too much" or "satire". This is exactly the kind of fragility that perpetuates greyism. Do better.


EDIT 2: A grey just called me a f
ggot in PMs. I will not be silenced. This is the work.*


EDIT 3: I've been banned from 3 GCs for this thread. The colored establishment fears change.
You are such a great person
