Why do I do it to myself?

[NewNameNigel]

Not even enough every left to explain properly, suffice it to I made the mistake of trying to talk about race to white people.

I'm exhausted now!

Don't bother! White fragility is a real thing.

Not only that but unfortunately the majority of people are usually only empathetic when they experience something for themselves or someone close to them

I know, I know but I sometimes forget.

Virtual hug

Thank you 🙂

Don't bother, unless you somehow get something out of being dismissed, belittled, told that you are imagining, looking for something to be offended about. Or the classic, how do you know it's.....prove it! I read the book Black like me by John Howard Griffin. I wish that a book like that was studied in schools, instead of half the rubbish they are teaching children.

Proove it is the worst.

= re-live he abuse and trauma for my benefit while I consider whether to call out the wrong or not.

And 75% of the time you actually try to proove it you're dismissed.

Sending a big hug your way.

No words just sending love 💕 no space for racism in a civilised society!!!!

I'm sorry.

I've stopped talking to white people about racism. I just CBA anymore. It's too exhausting. Even sometimes here on threads on MN, some people are so tone deaf it amazes me. And what hurts more is when they say prove it. Like I can just pull out evidence out of thin air.

Don't bother. Google is free with enough content if someone wants answers.
