Actually I’m going to have this conversation. A thread: https://twitter.com/celinesaidthat/status/1289282850357821441
A) After hurricane Irma Sandy Ground was obviously destroyed. The people of Low Lands (EXCLUSIVELY European/Canadian/American White immigrants) made it so that the people of Sandy ground could not even pass through Low Lands to get to safety
B) French military describing locals as “savages”, “animals”, “monkies” among other slurs after Irma because they thought the people around them couldn’t understand French
C) Every time your lil white friends described St.Peters, Ebenezer, Cole Bay, Soggy, Jouvert etc. as “ghetto” knowing good and well they only felt that way because locals lived in/frequented those places/events
D) A lot of them just straight up not associating with us ??
E) Specifically in private schools having white kids make comments about local teachers/staff being “uneducated” and “incompetent” while never questioning the competence of the (white) American/Canadian/European staff
^ they would question the competence of African American staff too so it was most definitely a race thing
F) (also private school) having black culture and hairstyles being described as “ghetto” and “unhygienic” not by students but by teachers
G) last private school one: if you were a black boy that transferred to LU from a public school and you did not immediately conform you lasted maximum one year before they kicked you out for “being a distraction” despite rich white kids getting away with things like punching-
Teachers, talking back to teachers, calling black kids the n word, and editing their grades.
H) Racialy segregated businesses. Obviously there’s no “whites only” sign at the front of the restaurant but we’ve all walked into a restaurant and were made to feel unwelcome by the staff while watching the same staff treat white people (locals and tourists) better
^(As a white person your job here would be to excercise your privilege and either demand that everyone recieves equal treatment or you’ll take your money elsewhere and as a black people id just suggest you take your $ somewhere else (and that’s what they want)
I) White immigrants calling our accents ghetto, saying that we need to speak proper English, etc.
