don’t you love it when white men “sit down with *insert another white man* and talk about our world today and discuss solutions!” as if they aren’t literally just making it worse.......chad isn’t considered “diverse” just bc he was a sigma chi in college & you’re a sig ep, brad
white women do this too. all the time. it’s not okay?? why are y’all having conversations about BIPOC, LGBT people, & poor people when they’re not there?? you literally don’t understand their experiences!! stop trying to speak on issues that don’t pertain to you?
literally just DM an organizer on twitter and ask.. if they don’t wanna be on your podcast, they’ll point you to someone else. it’s bullshit that people are excluding the actual disadvantaged communities from their “solutions” as if they couldn’t just send an email
i guess my point is that i’m tired of white people with platforms/podcasts/youtube only talk to white people about BLM. i’m tired of straight ppl only talking to straight, cis ppl about LGBT issues. i’m tired of rich people talking to other rich people about poor people
if you have a platform, people listen to you. use it to uplift others. don’t talk about shit you don’t know about. being an ally is nothing if not amplifying & pointing attention to others. stop being selfish & drowning out voices from the communities you’re trying to “fix” https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤢" title="Angewidertes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Angewidertes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤮" title="Spuckendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Spuckendes Gesicht">
