I& #39;m gonna say it: most white disabled people have a different politic to me. We& #39;re not in the same situation just because we& #39;re both disabled. That& #39;s not going to erase the fact that I& #39;m colonized and you& #39;re a colonizer. https://twitter.com/SnoringDoggo/status/1253397006090940416">https://twitter.com/SnoringDo...
My priority will always be with black disabled people and then disabled nbpoc before the general community. We& #39;re the people most penalized by colonialist capitalism and no one& #39;s going to care about us like us.
White disabled people get mad the second the conversation isn& #39;t about them. Earlier today was just the latest iteration of "I followed you for your disability activism, not this race stuff" out of many.
I& #39;m a black disabled person talking about my own issues, yet they want to be the center of the conversation constantly. I can& #39;t even talk about medical racism without them comparing it to their own experiences and then trying to harass me if I confront them.
And I don& #39;t doubt that if the material needs of disabled poc were specifically met and it wasn& #39;t just me tweeting about stuff, many white disabled people would react violently. I don& #39;t doubt that for a second.
This thread will probably upset more than a few, so I& #39;ll just say, don& #39;t come here trying to say I& #39;m a reverse racist and no, you& #39;re not the exceptional white who& #39;s not racist at all. Block me and go away before you embarass yourself.
Anyways, ironically if I wasn& #39;t as disabled as I am, the first people I& #39;d be reaching out to are disabled Africans and other poc. I& #39;d start building support networks to take care of everyone& #39;s needs, cause Lord knows this society won& #39;t.
