Just curious, what do you make of this movement that’s happening right now in society.
How do you feel about this whole thing. Do you feel it’s necessary for white people to work hard to understand your plight and oppression (if you do feel systemically oppressed), or do you find it condescending and damaging to black people ?
Like when you see memes of young twenty-something white girls saying It’s white people’s duty to save and assist black people, do you think this is morally justified or do you feel belittled and insulted at the implied inferiority in People thinking they need to do something special for you ?
I’m serious, personally if I were black I would be insulted at the condescension. Like when people say “Oh you don’t know what it’s like to be black,” to me this is actually racist and translates to: “being black is So different and awful that you can’t even imagine it.”
To me, this way over-the-top pandering and coddling of black people actually makes me sick because it implies that blackness is some sort of disabiiity or something.
For example, the very concept of “white privilege” which is supposed to be pro-black actually implies that black people are inferior or lesser than. Why would being “white” be a privilege at all? Isn’t that very idea racist ? Like are we saying fat ugly white low income trailer trash whites also have it better than Blacks merely because they’re white? Is it really *that* bad being black?
BUT THAT’S JUST ME. I want to hear from black people.
