#whiteness — Public Fediverse posts on home.social

"What #publishing, our dubious white ally, does so often to marginalized creators. They want the credibility of our identities, want to market our biographies. They want to sell our suffering, smoothed down and made palatable to the white readers they prioritize. To assuage white guilt with stories that promise to make them better people, while never threatening them, not even with discomfort. They have no investment in our voices. Always, our voices are the first sacrifice at the altar of marketability.
"And excuse my language, but absolutely the fuck not."

Ah, but Muslims are down with the Blacks, Queers and Left Wing Jews on the 'British Hierarchy of Peoples.'

They'll accept you if you abandon everything that makes you different, which isn't really Acceptance, is it?

At no point did they blame those rules, they just said how tragic it was he was separated from his family and exiled, but maybe he shouldn't have been a naughty boy in the 90s, serves him right actually. Don't break the rules (unless you're rich, then go to town)

Fuck this, and fuck the BBC 😡

The World's Richest Man is full of shit....as his own version of Fancy Autocorrect will confirm.
Either the machine is also talking shit, in which case that Share Price has a lot further to fall....or it's right.

Space X's share price is currently at 122.65, lower than when it first started.
Rather than deal with this though, the World's Richest Man is having a hissy fit over a movie because it has a Black Lady in it.
Very Serious People are still thinking this guy is one of them, and maybe he is but in a way they don't want to admit.
