I didnt read through the topic, so I dont know what people said about white supremacists. I can say that when I listen to the women in the OP talk, its clear that we are miles apart in our thinking. Its to the point where I dont even know where to begin other than to say that in my whole life I cant imagine saying, my whiteness is powerful.


A) Play Ikaruga
B) It's a fucking advertisement for an island vacation. With that context in mind, I hope it might be easier to understand why the label of fragility was employed and why there's exasperation about there always being some fucking criticism whenever black identity is involved.

I mean, if people want to call it racist, fine. It's also outside of the US so legality isn't an issue. And yet here in this topic, there are people who just want to fucking throw in their two cents and be self absorbed with this "what if it were about white people?" shit. In a topic about women going to a retreat to escape from white people. They know what answer they're driving at and instead of saying directly how they feel about the situation, they want to fucking talk about white identity and take over the conversation. They want to take over any conversation about race and make it about themselves in anyway imaginable. They didn't ask that question to listen to the response and form some mutual understanding. They asked it to make the conversation about them. How can black people talk about race in a way that will be acknowledged and listened to? What does it take to get a W? In a topic about women getting together and being able to share and relate their experiences and be listened to and have self affirmation, there's the element of people who want to make it about white people.

I hope this sheds some light on both the criticism you've received in this topic and why this retreat is even a thing. What's it take to get a motherfucker to shut up for a second and actually attempt to listen? "What if it weren't about white people for a second?" What can black people do to be able to talk about race and their identity that will be able to be digestible for the MAGA crowd? What can black people do to get the MAGA crowd to shut the fuck up about their feelings when someone else is trying to share theirs? To bridge that miles wide gap is to have an understanding of what it is like to be a minority via sympathy or empathy.

C) "It's okay to be white" is what is said.
