I do NOT engage with folx whose understanding of the WORLD doesn’t extend beyond their own “whiteness”
Who have no curiosity beyond gossip and cultural appropriation and whose “facts” are manufactured; tethered to white supremacy and anti-Blackness

Anybody else sick of pretending that they’re ok
We’re not made to take in, to process this much trauma
We’re not made to be in a constant state of navigating chaos events without time to rest and reenergize
It feels like I’m in an abusive relationship with the world
“Good white folx”
It is NEVER wise to comment on my content by attempting to separate yourself from OTHER white folx because there is NO goodness in whiteness
Doing so ONLY spotlights the DEMANDS from you to be treated as individuals and NOT be held accountable for what’s done on YOUR behalf
And you’ve DEMONSTRATED the problem
I don’t know you AND believe it or not this is NOT about you so there’s NOTHING that you personally can do to trust you because you’ve DEMONSTRATED that you DON’T understand your role in maintaining white supremacy and anti-Blackness
Read a comment that questioned why the journalist who had a relationship with RFK Jr is getting so much “hate”
ANSWER:
Valid criticism is NOT “hate” and this framing is dangerous AND
What she did was an obvious violation of journalistic ethics AND
I’m tried to seeing folx decide when to turn on or off their ethical obligations to society
I want to sue everybody who ever said “Google was free” for negligence because we’re seeing now the price that we’ve ALL paid by not questioning the intentions, strategy, and scale of tech and its malevolent leadership
As I’ve often stated, model minorities willingly uphold white supremacy by fully embracing anti-Blackness as a strategy for gaining and maintaining proximity to whiteness
The catch is that white supremacy ONLY benefits white folx
White dudes, particularly cis/hetero/non-disabled/christian, lived experiences are LIMITED which means that, on the majority of subjects that interest me, so are your opinions…WITHOUT intention and strategic effort, your ideas and behavior are curated to cause harm
I wasn’t gonna respond to this but many of you need this lesson…class is now in
This is what white supremacy looks like
This exchange of course started with an unnecessary “not all white people…”
White folx are the ONLY folx who EXPECT individualism as a RIGHT while othering
Yep…and the only thing that I need to know in 2024 is are you a white person who’s working to develop a CONSISTENT, DEMONSTRATED antiracist practice OR are you a white person who’s either ok with [complicit] or actively promotes white supremacy and anti-Blackness
Pretty simple
Gotta love all the comments attempting to EXPLAIN what wasn’t needed
This post was about tech NOT being neutral nor apolitical AND y’all took that to mean that I needed a lesson about how banking works
This is why this space SUUUUUX
If I’m not being called a nigger…I’m being told by folx who obviously don’t know me or my work, how the world works
If y’all don’t find something else to do 🤣😂🤣
Just another example which highlights the fallacy of tech being neutral/apolitical
I’m all for competition and alternatives to our current banking systems, institutions, and policies but what we can’t ignore is that we’ve failed future generations when we lie about the risks
We need to stop assigning mental health illnesses to folx simply because you don’t/can’t understand their behavior
Being a white supremacist is NOT A MENTAL ILLNESS
White supremacy is a BELIEF & STRATEGY that whiteness is superior AND inherits rights denied to “others”
This will be the test for those who BENEFIT from systems, institutions, and policies DESIGNED to privilege them at the expense of the many
Will they CONTINUE to fight for a “democracy” for ALL or will they CONTINUE fight to maintain their ability to exploit and cause harm
Don’t ever fix your lips again to say that tech IS neutral/apolitical…DON’T YOU FUCKIN DARE
Tech is ONLY apolitical for those who benefit as the DEFAULT to systems, institutions, and policies DESIGNED to benefit the few at the expense of the many
The default to the binary is definitely gonna kill this coalition after the election, if it can even hold together until November
Some of the shit I’m reading, particularly from the “let’s burn it all down crew” is frightening if it weren’t so predictable
It’s obvious that many folx have no idea how community is built AND maintained
The lack of understanding around minimizing harm is foreign to far too many
Yeah…we can burn it all down AND then what? How will you protect those who will be harmed? How will this ensure change?
It amazes me how often those of us who’ve had to work 10X harder to achieve any goal have this conversation with ourselves
I AM ENOUGH is the mantra that reminds us of who we are in a world DESIGNED to privilege the few at our expense
I AM ENOUGH is the clarion cry of FREEDOM
This is such an astute assessment
I’ve ALWAYS said that what’s needed is for folx with the most PRIVILEGED to “run cover” for those with the knowledge/skills of navigating systems, institutions & policies DESIGNED to privilege the few at the expense of the many to lead
Black folx in the U.S. are the ONLY community that has NEVER been made whole due for the indignities and cruelty our ancestors endured providing the “free” labor that built this country AND OTHERS
As this highlights, this has ALWAYS been a “won’t” rather than a “can’t” issue
