I agree except transgender is a real thing
It's not racist to lock your car doors when going through a terrible part of town. I never drive through Youngstown with my doors unlocked bc I've had people try to break into my car when I'm at a red light 3 times. It's called being smart.
I Grew Up Scared of Black People
I’m not really sure exactly why. My parents weren’t openly racist although they definitely were (are) but in that quiet middle class we’re democrats sort of way. Little things here and there like my mother discouraging me from befriending the only black girl in my class and telling me it would alienate me from the rest of my classmates or when I was 13 and she asked if a boy who called me was black because he “sounded it” and then telling me I shouldn’t date him because again it would “send the wrong message.” I know at least 2 of my grandparents openly and without shame used the N word and we excused it as being a product of their time. The media portrayed black people as others, people who didn’t live in my neighborhood, hell in any of the surrounding ones either. They were different from us, scary, criminals. NYC in the 80s was a warzone and the war on drugs, the war against graffiti by Koch etc… made it seem like that was a different, scary world. I had no desire to go into the city well into my teens. As I got older and became more aware of politics and racism etc… I considered myself a liberal, a champion of rights. Me? racist? of course not. But I still crossed the street if I saw a black guy walking towards me or locked my doors while driving when I went into the predominately black neighborhoods. All my friends were white with exception of a few from the Philippines and India. I had no black friends at all, there were hardly any in my school to befriend but I didn’t make an effort either. I never really analyzed or admitted my own racism, I was a liberal for god sake, doesn’t that mean I can’t be racist? duh, until I got well into my 20s. The internet had a huge part in opening my eyes to my own racism (and internalized misogyny but that’s a different post.) I was exposed to people i never would have come across in my offline life and cultures and ideas I hadn’t seen before. I listened to black voices, actually listened instead of telling myself I didn’t need to because I could never be racist and I realized that I was, that I had a hell of a lot of unlearning to do. All of us white people, every single one of us benefit from white privilege and I’m willing to bet the large majority if not all of us have some hidden racism we have to admit and unlearn. Now is the time more than ever for us to let black voices be heard and stand by them as they continue to fight for their lives and don’t get me wrong, I mean that quite literally. Yes us white women are effected by the outcome of this election, this is our fight too but we as white women need to realize that POC have a hell of a lot more at stake then we do. We have to be vigilant, we have to protect each other and we have to be willing to analyze our own selves and our own behaviors as we stand by them. I am here for all women I will do what I can when I can and I will continue to self audit and take accountability for my hand in the way this country treats it’s POC citizens. I hope we all stay safe I hope he isn’t as bad as I think he is going to be, I hope you all are well and protected even though I know you’re not, not now, not when the worst people in this country are emboldened by his winning, but I can still hope. I will continue to call out those in my life for their racism as I have always tried to do, I will continue to try and speak with facts and not emotion when I have to combat the white people in my life who are ignorant, and I will continue to listen to all of you and let myself learn because I know I will always have improving to do. Stay safe friends this is going to be one hell of a fight.
This had to happen at some point.
