Remember, EM POC only!
This message is to my EM POC comrades: Angel loves all of you.
Especially as of late, I have truly been feeling like this community has worked wonders in keeping me stable when it comes to handling the massive jar of mayo that this site can be sometimes.
How are you all?
Had a woman in my therapy group start complaining about how difficult being brown in America is.
Her and I are the only two brown people in a group of fourteen people. I don’t what she expected. Like, they aren’t going to apologize and white people take accusations of racism personally , so they won’t empathize either.
This is really basic stuff . I was shocked that a poc didn’t get that. It’s borderline white levels of ignorance
I wanted to get up and leave.
I think its because some people have drunk the “America is great” koolaid and think that there are white people who truely believe in social justice. The problem is that this country was and is still built upon the oppression of POC.
It makes me sick when I see fellow POC who really think they can coopt the image of American “freedom”, whether it be on the left or right, because America was never made for us and will never be for us. And there’s no one that we can appeal to to make that happen because white people will always fall back on their privalage.
It was such a sad thing for me to realize that there aren’t.
