Wait, you do know that being "statistically in agreement" with poc doesn't... make you a poc, right https://twitter.com/kylekulinski/status/1249874714010451968
Your whiteness insulates you and is highly determinative of all of your experiences even if you behave in a way that is statistically in agreement with non-white people, so this is a really weird point to make
Ugh, he has a lot of gross supporters in his replies who seem not to believe that white privilege exists, so no point in having a conversation
If I wasn't so sober I'd talk about how dehumanizing that line of thought even is, but I don't think I could handle it right now 🙃
This guy's a real piece of shit, lol https://twitter.com/kylekulinski/status/1249879932492296192
Angry white leftists who put on our skin to parade around and "win" arguments then rip it all off to talk more about how important "class-first" is, you can all get fucked
Saw a lot of liberal whites over the past five years become "leftists" once class-first opened the door for them to lay claim to historically poc-experienced struggle and oppression, send tweet
Impoverished left-of-center white folks could've been like "yes, and we stand with you," but instead they went with "here's why race doesn't matter as much as you say it does," fuck off forever
Then they cribbed the language created by BIPOC scholars about systems and frameworks of oppression and tried to make it make sense without any mention of race, rendering a whole shitload of it unintelligible
And because they didn't understand it in the first place, when it was challenged as part of the great white culture wars, they bungled the meanings of terms like "intersectionality" and "identity politics," setting us all back decades once again
Lol I'm so mad rn!!
