It's bigotry to assume that 20 year old black kid can't help himself, and needs elitist whites to help him stand on his own two feet.
I am going to use this for my class because it’s such a wonderful example of unacknowledged racism.. And I bet you don’t think you have a racist bone in your body .
Because of people like you who stereotypes them as disgustingly as you have .and you don’t even realize it. You don’t even realize how you see black young people and what is worse than just racism is insidious racism that one is not even aware of.
Renee, you're not fooling anyone but yourself. If you take your work seriously, I recommend you spend some time considering the implications of your 'philosophy'. It is profoundly racist, and I think I speak for all of us here when I say that I/we hope you're able to address that.
My dear, you're starting to sound a bit cray-cray now. In the meantime, I'm the one with the self-determining black family, not you. With respect, what you are doing here is what we regard as the worst kind of privileged, posturing, white supremacism .... heavily invested (for who knows what purpose) in black helplessness.
That’s another part of what I teach...I warns people about the “everyone says” mentality. that is what people do who can’t speak for themselves it’s the bully mentality . The people here are mostly right wingers and on other threads it’s . not as bad. most people are smart enough not to waste their time like I do. I need your viewpoints because most of the people I work with are not as bad as some here. Thanks for the other views....
I don’t believe for one second that you are part of the self determining black family....gotta run, George Clooney is calling me
So in order to process what's being said .. without it unseating your cherished insistence on black powerlessness .. you have to pretend I'm not real? Wow .. you have problems George Clooney can't help you with, Ren. I'll be sure to let my husband and 3 x kids know that they don't exist, meantime. Or better yet, I'll tell them Renee needs them to be white - so she doesn't have to rethink her worldview. I'm sure they'll understand.
I have told you repeatedly I give workshops to teachers and students. Just because you can’t do.low, don’t blame me, you’re like he slow kid who thinks he “got the teacher”lol
