Now I’m a bitter Black woman who can’t comprehend, @DebraMessing you are well out of your depth baby. You need to read this moment, but you can’t even do that. Stop using other people to cover for your ineptness. Repeat after me: I @DebraMessing am a racist and I need help. 1/ https://twitter.com/debramessing/status/1280754024485093376

I use my white privilege and stereotypes as attributes for Black women I don’t agree with. For Black women I like, I use the “Black friend card” and demand that they go check another Black woman. Moreover, I don’t respect the agency of Black people 2/

Which is why I am very comfortable ascribing my beliefs onto Black people especially if they do not “act accordingly”. I am that white liberal that Congresswomsn Shirley Chisholm, Min. Malcolm X and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King warned about. 3/

and the sad part is I don’t even know it. My lack of awareness is linked to my white privilege and neoliberal cloak. Confession is so good for the soul. Now, don’t you feel better? 4/

You are like most neoliberals who believe the status quo is ok and that all the suffering in the world started in 2016. You lack the courage to deal with the fact that Black people, poor people, working-class people and other marginalized groups were catching hell well before 5/

2016. You prefer conformity & illusion over righteous critique & substance. You are dazzled by a type of politics that celebrates being “better than Trump” without understanding how critically dangerous & low that bar is. You are as Frederick Douglass described among 6/

“Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground.”
Know this, you are messing with the wrong one because I am that 1 in 10,000. 7/
