i entered a CH room titled "where the caucasian people @? ask a black person a question"
where ppl were getting mad at a white woman for being 'ignorant' and not 'reading the room' - then proceed to tell white people it's 'white fragility' to be afraid of entering black rooms.
tbf it was another white woman telling other white ppl it's their fault for experiencing fear around entering black-dominant rooms, but this was supported by other black voices.
i've never encountered so much overt and proud racism before since joining Clubhouse
lol someone just asked "could you trust a white person" and now they're seriously debating it. one person was like "no", another was like "yes if they act against their self interest to support black people"
this room is blowing my mind. i dont understand what kind of logic these people are using AT all.
a black lady was like "its easy to self-segregate, i notice i don't have white friends"
and someone else was like "white ppl asking black ppl questions is rooted in white supremacy"
i honestly cant even
im getting from this room that black women have the highest status; the white ppl repeatedly are super deferent to the black, and all the men, white and black, are deferent to the black women, with black women frequently described with hero-type language
"antiracism isn't feel-good work. It's gonna feel uncomfortable because that's the only way you grow."
yeah i remember IF YOU FEEL BAD THEN THATS A SIGN THIS IS RIGHT from my fundamentalist christian brainwashing
they're talking critically about a woman in the room who was congratulating other white ppl in the room for showing up to a 'ask black ppl questions' room and saying 'we need to heal the planet and all get along' stuff. They say no, actually white ppl need to feel more guilty
a black guy announced that he put his cashapp on his profile and someone was like woo! Redistribute the wealth!
ooo a supportive white person just got accused of 'performative allyship' in an attempt to distance herself from her whiteness
a black lady is now complaining that white ppl are asking 'what i can do to help you guys here' instead of explaining what they're doing to help black ppl in their own communities
