That Spectator article sums up the current situation we're in with regards to debate really well.
Stop it. You have provided no evidence. Disagreeing is not bullying.
'Dear woman of colour, although you are a woman of colour, your views and opinions are not applicable or acceptable. Please shut up and get back in your place.'
You see?
It's fine. You have replied as expected. I note this often, that those who are supposedly most in support of 'black people' and stridently 'anti-racist' truly do not see you as a real individual with equal rights of opinion. You are a group to them.
It reminds me of a time I was working close to the National Portrait Gallery in Tralfagar Square and a white woman who thought she meant well, told me I should 'go in and have a look if I've not been there before' (I wasn't given a chance to tell her I had been there before or not, she wasn't actually truly interested in me, she was interested in feeling better supporting her perceived view of my oppression and using me to bouy herself up) because 'there was a portrait of Stormzy in there and wasn't it so great?? They should have more portraits of prominent black people in, there's a dearth isn't there? It must be hard. It's so important, I must be pleased, it will "encourage more black people to go into the Gallery", and she has his album etc'
She was visibly taken aback when I told her I had 'no desire to see a portrait of Stormzy, as I wasn't a big fan or cared much for the mysogynistic content of his lyrics, nor did I think he was a great role model for black men and furthermore, I always go into the main gallery on every lunch break as I love the Beheading of Lady Jane Grey and St Sebastian. My parents always took me to see them. I could see her visibly struggling to reconfigure me into her mental representation of what a black woman is vs the actual one standing in front of her as a unique person. The conversation pettered out very fast as she didn't get the confirmatory responses she wanted.
Such individuals see you as a set of pre-determined beliefs and sterotypes and should you not conform to those sterotypical beliefs or start giving some contrary opinion to the one expected and do not conform to the idea in their heads of what you are (which is ultimately just a banded colour code) you are dismissed. They have low expectations of you whilst ostensibly supporting your rights.
I give MM the right to be a nice person or a bad one. Capable of being a great mother or a bad one, a great wife or a bad one, a cow or a saint. A devil or an Angel. I personally don't perceive her positively, but I don't see her colour as the most important factor of her being and see her as a fully bodied person not some objectified token of colour who should not be criticised because of it.
You are clearly a great M fan, (and good for you) who thought so little of the intelligence of WOC, that you thought you had a winning formula for disrupting the threads and shuting down criticism of MM
You'd cite 'racism' every 5 minutes and every WOC on the thread would agree and be outraged and support you, because we all think the same and are thus easily manipulated and you'd achieve shutting down the debate.
Except it wasn't so easy, so now you thought you'd start up a thead directed to MNHQ and try it that way.
