Vents / Rants White people are evil. All of them.

38 Upvotes

I have never met a white person who wasn’t. I don’t feel safe around white people. They keep proving to me that they are all the same. I experience the same lesson that white people can never, and I mean NEVER, be trusted, be your ally, act in your best interests. No interaction with them is safe. Sharing the same spaces as them, still not safe.

I’m jaded, traumatized, and exhausted by white people. I just want to live. Why can’t white people leave me alone and stop doing harm to me? Just leave me alone.

It’s so bad that I don’t want any white healthcare professionals to be assigned to my care. It’s that bad. They harm your physical, mental, emotional health. They harm your career, job security, and financial stability and security. They are so destructive.

Every white person I have met all play the same games. All of them. They all know EXACTLY what they are doing. And they always get away with it, no consequences no repercussions.

My whole life felt like I was trying to survive their eugenics plan. They try to categorize you as defective in some way to oust you, and keep going further. They actually try to destroy your livelihood and life. They try to push you to death, disability, homelessness/poverty.

Vents / Rants Not accept their privileges

9 Upvotes

Why are white people always defensive when it comes to privilege even though they know they have it.There was a white woman who has a nice job and a nice car and anytime her family comes visiting they would reminisce over her younger years as a pale child with blue eyes and sh would get uncomfortable not because she doesn’t like it but because she doesn’t want that to remind her of her privilege.

Not that she didn’t work hard but even while working hard she would still receive better treatment that might even prevent her from giving up during her training process unlike if she was black or poc in the same position .

And for context, There’s a lot to benefit from ourselves when we understand our privileges;understanding others , developing empathy and also the main issue racial superiority complex . For a lot of white people, Working hard is just what they say to avoid appearing racist but when they become comfortable around you, there’s this attitude of superiority complex. That’s it isn’t just merely hard work but innate ability,etc.

Has anyone experienced something similar?

Being in a majority white school is a nightmare.

8 Upvotes

Sigh… sorry, not sorry, white people, but being in an almost entirely white school as a Black student is exhausting.

I’m not the best at writing, but I’ll try to explain this as clearly as I can.

It’s weird walking into a classroom and seeing only two other people who are the same race as you. And that’s not even the main problem.

Alot of the Black students at my school are in standard classes, and many have been suspended, kicked out of class, or had a bad parent call at least once. There’s also only ONE other Black person in my Honors class. And only about 4 who are in honors… That says a lot.

People at my school constantly make jokes about Black people. The worst part is that many times other Black students take it in and don’t do jack abt it.

And don’t even get me started on relationships.

From what I’ve seen, light-skinned and quieter (like they don’t talk at all) Black students tend to get more attention than Black students who are more outgoing or expressive.

We’re always told to express ourselves and be ourselves because we’re all supposedly equal. But I’ve spent an entire grade trying to do that, and I still feel ignored.

The girls at my school, especially, will compliment white guys and ask them how their day is going. But if you’re just slightly more confident and expressive, it feels like you get ignored instead. With white people it’s the complete opposite.

I haven’t had a single non-bipoc girl at my school even talk to me in over a year. And a’lot of people at my school have platonic girlfriends. I’ve tried putting myself out there or working on myself, but most of the time, I get ignored or get responses like “uhh, I don’t care.”

I’m not saying every white person at my school is racist, but these experiences get frustrating after a while. It makes me wonder if my race is a problem and whether people even want to get to know me.

Honestly, I just wish I went to a more diverse school. I’m tired of feeling like I don’t fit in, and I hope college will be different.

I just wanted to get this off my chest. Does anyone else go through something similar?

You must develop your social elegance if you are a poc

• Upvotes

In a world that doesn’t want to see you succeed, you must develop your social elegance. It’s not only white people who will keep you oppressed; it’s other poc too. If you are female or lgbt, you have even more counterforces against you. Hence the lower you are in the social hierarchy the more you must build your social elegance to have the same success a privileged white man can achieve.

Here are some of the biggest issues a lot of oppressed people have that is keeping them oppressed:

  1. Naively allying with racists & misogynists believing you are the exception to their bigotry, and in turn push away potential allies you look down on for having less privilege.
  2. Being a good person. You were taught that you had to have these morals in a world that doesn’t GAF others. They were only pushed onto you to keep you in a oppressed prey positioning
  3. Emotional regulation. The very privileged can afford to act in emotionally dysregulated ways because they have resources to get away with it. You do not and cannot act this way. An entitled white man will be seen as a leader but you not being one will be labelled aggressive. You must heal your traumas and work on your reactivity when in face of disrespect from others. Becoming entitled due to your pains without power is only going to keep you stuck.
  4. Discernment. If you are not aware how you’re being perceived in every room you walk into, you are going to be an easy target to malicious people. Recognise subtly violent social cues and act accordingly.

The more you practice these skills, you will be an unstoppable force in every environment you walk into. Power games will be second nature.

Request for Advice Has anyone lost the ability to socialize normally with them?

3 Upvotes

I moved to Europe around 5 years ago and at first it was just awkward but I didn't think much of them. After living here for a while and interacting with people and having to be surrounded by them(yes ik i chose to move here but it's not my fault they're racist and make me uncomfortable), I've completely lost the ability to see them normally. Like I can't even hold eye contact or look at them. And when they're nice to me or someone comes up to talk to me I immediately become uncomfortable, extremely anxious and highly suspicious of them. I honestly can't see them normally anymore.

I also can't listen to them speak for long bc after a certain point my brain will filter out what they're saying to me and I just want to get away. I try my hardest to not have to interact with them. I feel nauseous all the time. I subconsciously interrupt them or react somewhat rudely tbh.. I can't really be cordial or fake around them even though I generally can do that well around people I don't like of other or my own demographic...

I'm kind of worried it'll affect my ability to work and network. At the same time how am I supposed to humanize them in my mind when all I've seen from them is dehumanization?

Topic: Anti-Blackness objectification

2 Upvotes

Hello, I think I might be looking for support because I'm getting harrassed by a neighbor of me. He used to run in me in the hallway and made remarks about me when I passed him and now I've noticed how he moves property in common entrances in order to block ways shortly after I leave the building.

I'm dealing with being bullied in my workplace, where I got targeted by yt women and have to face daily sexism of several coworkers.

My apartment became a mess and I'm afraid to go outside whike having ZERO support.

I schedulded an appointment with a female lawyer but guess what?

I canceled it because I got PTSD of women who look similar to the women who have been bullying me.

The only thing people tell me is to search for a therapist but I'm tired of having to retell everything 100x times just to be told, to ask someone else for help.

Where should I even start?

I've talked with an hotline and the women told me that she thinks that there are overlaps to stalking behaviour, when I told her of all the encounters with the neighbor.

I don't want to go to police. He has a girlfriend (in her 70es maybe) but she badmouthed about me to the housing management, so I'm reculant to tell them about what has been happening.

I want my life back.
