Reply to comment by LeeroyTC in NYC teachers union’s workshop on ‘harmful effects of whiteness’ canceled after influx of ‘hate’ by someone_whoisthat

I legit might only have 1 kid because it looks like i’m going to have to send them to private school($$$) just to give them a normal-ass education. These lame, out of touch granola white people need to be pulled aside and told no one obsesses more about race than them. Being “one of the good” self-hating whites is so annoying, obnoxious and patronizing. They are egomaniacs with superiority complexes and aren’t even aware of it.

Just do what teachers have always done—teach your students to treat everyone with kindness, compassion and respect. Or be a total dipshit that every normal person mocks inside their home and hold a seminar explaining why posting a gif of oprah is engaging in digital blackface.

The only thing these unlikable nutbags accomplish is giving the right ammunition.

It's the only acceptable form of "White Saviourism" in the Modern Age.

As "allies," these obviously "privileged" and "virtuous" upper-middle-class white folks will save all of us from prejudice.

All while assuring us that DROPPING standards for "brown people" and "Colored People-sorry-I meant-People of Color," is definitely the way forward for them.

I reject "Person of Color" or "Brown Person" or "Black Person," from these condescending "Progressives." It's another way to say the "N-Word," in my book and it's supremely hypocritical of them to treat us like we CAN'T do it ourselves, can't succeed, can't do math, can't read, can't show up on time, etc.

Disgusting!

Serious question. Why is people of color okay but not colored people? It's literally the exact same thing.

The same reason we're told to use "enslaved person" instead of "slave" or "homeless person" instead of "bum": it's a concept called "people first language" that popped up in the last fifteen years or so
