I was wondering how to teach about white allies. Why would you ally with someone who hates you so much is the question? I'm a massive fan of lots of people - some who happen to be white, it's not because they are white that I'm 'into' them. I find them funny, smart, etc

like the BAME people I like. But the woke, they are 'INTO' the white man aren't they? I mean it's all hate driven but there is real devotion there. They give him every waking second. The whiteness of the white man is the most intense but they are INTO white women too.

They are SO INTO whiteness it's everywhere. This is a great thread by @TitaniaMcGrath highlighting where the whiteness is. I wonder how the woke survive really. https://twitter.com/TitaniaMcGrath/status/1281023987242487808

In my head when they say the see whiteness I imagine the old Indian films where Hindu gods slow motion appear in miniature in a flower or object. I imagine that's what is happening to the woke when they look at a block of cheese or whatever - the white man or woman emerges

god-like out of it! White allies are like gods to them because they can literally save them. If we had a pyramid showing the hierarchy of oppression, the white ally would be floating god-like above it! I might create this diagram. But yes the woke are INTO white people, they give

them their every waking moment. They hang onto every word they say, every word they write, every picture they take, every gesture they make, etc. Look here @akalamusic is a succesful man and it's a bit weird that he would respond to something @GoodwinMJ https://twitter.com/akalamusic/status/1282643591765123073

said six months ago. It's like he was angry at the time but couldn't counter it and has been hanging onto it ever since. He finally thought of a response and then tweeted it out 'challenge' Matthew. I am a massive Matthew fan. I follow him and will watch him in interviews, etc

But, no offence, I don't remember the exact words he says six months down the line. But Akala - he is INTO Matthew - in a way that a fan like me isn't! His hate-love devotion to Matthew is something I can't give. I love Matt but I don't think about him all the time only

when I watch/read him. So people want to be a white ally because woke devote themselves to them in a way no one else does. Partners, children, parents, colleagues, workers, fans just can't give the white man or woman the hate-love driven obsessive devotion that the woke can.

Now how to simplify this for kids...I'm hoping this will have all the answers: https://www.amazon.co.uk/First-Little-Book-Intersectional-Activism/dp/1472134273 This may yet end up on the KS1 curriculum.
