that's kind of how it turns out though? this is gonna sound fucked up again, brace yourselves, but all the comments in here like "you sound white" and "i don't care about white people's opinions" just makes me feel bad for being white. which i know, sounds fucked, in that i shouldn't feel bad for being white at all. it kind of goes in line with the i can't help my privilege sort of thing? i can recognize it and try not to make things worse, still can't help it.

there isn't any specific instance i'm talking about, i mean, more like, in general.

genuinely curious, how old are you/what is the level of schooling you are at rn?

(Anonymous) 2012-12-19 11:37 am (UTC)(link)
23, not in school due to medical condition.

it's nothing to feel bad about, anon, i promise it isn't. your white and therefore you're lucky that you don't have certain experiences and when poc talk about them, it's really something you don't need to have a say in. when i say 'you sound white' i literally mean it because you seem as though you have no idea about how race relations work. when i say that i don't need your white opinions, it's because i actually don't care for it at all and it's not necessary for me to have your opinions.

i think you're missing the main point of it, anon. it's not a conversation you're needed in. idk how to put it nicely but, like i said, everyone knows where the white system stands. your say is not necessary at all. i'm sorry but you're just starting to sound entitled. everywhere else is a white world, let poc have this small thing to themselves

no, it comes across as fucked up that you would want to push your opinions on people who frankly neither want it nor need it. another anon said that if you asked questions, rather than stating your opinion, it would be better and i definitely agree.

steamrolling into a poc's conversation with your opinions = bad white person
going into a poc's conversations with questions, after you have done your own research (because it's not their job to educate you) = good white person
