It's pretty bittersweet how some white saviour women think they know better than the peoples in Indigenous marginalized communities that they lack lived & working experiences with, on rez & are supposed to be serving. It's foolish to ever think you'll get 100% community support on any native rez - never happened in all the years band councils were ever established. You can't be arrogant enough to think you know better than everyone else. You can't ever think you're irreplaceable too - all of us are replaceable in work arenas. You can't put your ego above bigger community needs. To do so is to put yourself & your inflated ego, over everyone else - that blocks genuine, purposeful & essential collaborative work. You choose to put greater good over your own inflated ego. That is part of true maturity.

@Sustainable2050 Ostseezeitung: Entry refused, they will be deported. When they heard this, they both burst into tears. "It was a shock, we didn't expect it," says Maria Lepère. "We had already heard a bit about what was going on in the #USA. But at the time, we didn't think it would happen to #Germans. That was perhaps very naive. We felt so small and powerless." #whiteprivilege

@ErickaSimone
Laffy used her #WhitePrivilege to bravely flee to Canada and now, rather than concentrate on fixing her new country's own substantial failings, continues to trade on spamming #USPolitics, including and especially bashing Dems.
White people are responsible for this mess, but they won't TAKE responsability.
It's a mutual block, but she keeps popping up with new accounts to keep her clout so I'm constantly playing whack a mole with her posts.

If you're a fellow cis white person, it's time for us to stand the fuck up & take some heat for a change.

If you are a member of one of these groups or feel personally threatened, please let me know how to best defend you.

I'm brainstorming ways that #MyWhitePrivilege might be able to act as a shield or invisibility cloak because pretending that #WhitePrivilege doesn't exist doesn't help anyone.

White Privilege: the polished veneer of "fairness" & "equality" draped over an unshakable commitment to whiteness as the default setting. Might critique Supremacy in whispers, but only to protect its own image. Holy Grail is diversity, as long the rules, the rulers & the stage remains comfortably white.
