doomscrolling tiktok together and I turn to you and ask, "why doesn't your algorithm recommend any videos with Black people?"

doomscrolling tumblr and I turn to you and ask, "why don't you reblog anti-racism when it makes you feel uncomfortable?"

maryellencarter

I mean, real answer? I don't reblog 99% of the anti-racist posts that cross my dash because they all have this type of guilt-tripping on the end. I thought we agreed ten or fifteen years ago that we're not spreading that shit. I see plenty of posts I would love to reblog if they didn't all end with "but you won't reblog this and that proves you're actually racist" or words to that effect

Tears that are driven by white guilt are self-indulgent. When we are mired in guilt, we are narcissistic and ineffective; guilt functions as an excuse for inaction. Further, because we so seldom have authentic and sustained cross-racial relationships, our tears do not feel like solidarity to people of color we have not previously supported. Instead, our tears function as impotent reflexes that don’t lead to constructive action. We need to reflect on when we cry and when we don’t, and why. In other words, what does it take to move us? Since many of us have not learned how racism works and our role in it, our tears may come from shock and distress about what we didn’t know or recognize. For people of color, our tears demonstrate our racial insulation and privilege.

I asked the woman of color I refer to in the opening of this chapter if I was missing anything in this list. This is her response:

It’s infuriating because of its audacity of disrespect to our experience. You are crying because you are uncomfortable with your feelings when we are barely allowed to have any. You are ashamed or some such thing and cry, but we are not allowed to have any feelings because then we are being difficult. We are supposed to remain stoic and strong because otherwise we become the angry and scary people of color. We are only allowed to have feelings for the sake of your entertainment, as in the presentation of our funerals. And even then, there are expectations of what is allowed for us to express. We are abused daily, beaten, raped, and killed but you are sad and that’s what is important. That’s why it is sooooo hard to take.

- White Fragility, Robin DiAngelo

I am asking you to deliberately seek out and engage with Black content creators. I am also asking you to notice when your racial guilt moves you to inaction, regard it as a problem worth solving, and solve it.

actually, seconding that. i have been on tumblr for a decade and have never seen anyone say "reblog this or you're racist".

ive seen countless "reblog this or you're evil," "reblog for good luck," etc. but never any where someone is accused of racism for not reblogging a post.

the closest ive seen is "white people may reblog, but dont add anything" or things similar, because the post is specifically about Black people discussing issues that pertain solely to them and they are not at all interested in the ten thousandth "as a white person, i think-" comment on their post

i dont believe the claim that "99% of anti-racist posts are guilt tripping" i think you're just racist and don't wanna reblog them

So obviously it won't happen because it's too complicated story-wise and would require some reconning but I think a great thing for 2x2 to do would be like. So at the end of danganronpa 2, Hajime is there and has to choose to end the simulation or whatever, but most of his classmates are said to be braindead due to dying in-sim. But we know that their mental data is still in the computer because some of them give pep talks to the survivors and all that. So instead of coming out of the sim and staying on the island to care for their friends in the hope they'll wake up someday, imagine that Hajime finds some way to reset the sim, on the logic that they're clearly still in there so maybe if they try again and everyone survives to the end, it'll be okay. Time loop story.

So they wake up on the island same as last time, everything's set to go same as last time. EXCEPT, the system put in the survivors and the AIs in the same default state that they were in the original time, first day of school and all that, but the only version of the minds of the dead it has are the ghosts in the machine that remember everything up until they're, well, dead. So you've got a handful of kids going "what's going on? Weren't we just locked in a classroom?" amongst a bunch of people like "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU FUCKING MURDERED ME!" and Usami is like "um.... uh.... welcome to the field trip?"

The impostor trying to make good on his promise to protect everyone, but he's lying on a beach trying to get over the shock of being stabbed to death with a fucking skewer while everyone screams death threats at each other around him. Desperately trying to gain control over the situation and play being the leader but continually frustrated that almost everybody knows more about the situation than him.

people at the grocery store sometimes do a visible double-take about how many vegetables I'm buying. they look at me probably thinking wow she's so healthy! it's ok that she's also buying donuts! she's earned them!

you fools. all the produce is for my pet pig. I'm eating donuts for dinner.

doing-90mph-in-central-london

an older woman actually stopped me once and told me I must be a great cook because I was just throwing random vegetables in my cart based on price. she was like "gosh! I would need a recipe to know what to do with all of those!"

i do have a recipe. it's very simple:

ingredients: vegetable

step 1: throw it on the ground.
