Reblogging for that last tweet.

I’m no fan of Taylor Swift, but seriously?! This guy put his hand under her skirt, onto her ass, and left it there. It’s a shocking, disgusting thing to have happen. I honestly don’t know how I would’ve reacted had it been me. If I ever find out, I’ll let you know; probably from jail.

I think that’s the real issue. You don’t have to be a fan of another woman or even personally like her to believe that she doesn’t deserve sexual assault.

I hate Gretchen Carlson and Meghan Kelly with the fire of a thousand suns. They still deserve my protection from sexual harassment.

Step one: listen to women, especially women of color.

Step two: listen to non-white people when they tell us how white people screw up.

Step three: act on the things we learn when we listen.

Step four: NEVER NEVER NEVER just go along with some white person who is being a shitty garbage human because you don’t want to rock the boat. Call that shit out, and make sure they know that you won’t just stand there silently while they are racist, bigoted, homophobic, transphobic, misogynist, etc.

Step five: I’m serious about step four. These fuckholes feel empowered and protected by the silent and implied consent of other white people. Do not ever give them comfort or the feeling that they have a safe space to be racist, etc.

Step six: yeah yeah yeah free speech. That’s not the same as speech without consequences.

Step seven: Seriously, step four. You have to speak up, because when you don’t, you’re putting the burden of standing up to horrible white people on the very people they hurt and oppress.

I’d love to hear from anyone else, especially nonwhite people, who have other things to teach me and my fellow white people.

If you publicly and unreservedly condemn the actions of Nazis in Charlottesville and elsewhere, including everything from quiet hate speech to vehicular terrorism, can you please reblog this post.

I think a few friends, a few followers, every Jew who happens across this post and my own heart could do with knowing that there are more of you out there than there are of them

Stop saying “this is what they want” when people act violently against nazis. What they want is a debate. They want genocide to be something polite society can agree or disagree with. They want to be elevated to the general public discourse by having their ideas argued with. Violence is the exact opposite of what they want. Richard Spencer didn’t want to get punched in the face, he wanted good people to keep quiet, to respect his rights and let him calmly discuss white nationalism. Violence throws a wrench in all their plans. It shows them their carefully planned tactics to infiltrate mainstream discussion are utterly failing. Punching a nazi will get you in legal trouble but don’t let people tell you it’s what they want.

I’m pretty pacifist but this is the first nazi-punching discourse post that’s made me go “this this THIS.”

they want to normalise their rhetoric. punching them means it is NOT WORKING

And if you don’t feel comfortable punching them you can still disrupt them by screaming over them or playing Depeche Mode on the flaming bag pipes way too close to them.

Okay but just calling anyone that disagrees with you a “Nazi” SURPRISINGLY doesn’t make them a nazi and only destroys whatever argument you already didn’t have.

Here’s the argument.

If someone is walking down the street with a swastika on a flag, throwing up Nazi salutes, and shouting “Heebs will not divide us” and “blood and soil” (literally a Nazi slogan), then they’re a Nazi.

i had a discussion today with a friend who was genuinely trying to understand why people are working so hard to ID the charlottesville nazis and contact their employers. “but won’t that just make them more desperate and violent?” they asked. “if they get fired from their jobs or kicked out of school? if they think they have nothing to lose?”

and i said, “i don’t know. maybe. but right now, these motherfuckers think they can be nazis on the weekend.”

like, i somewhat understood my friend’s hesitance re: doxxing, because doxxing is so often a tool of evil. but these motherfuckers think they can show up to a white supremacist rally on saturday where people got fucking murdered by white supremacists, and then on monday they can go back to the IT desk and log into outlook and answer their fucking office phone. they think they can show up to a rally on saturday with a shield and a helmet and beat black teenagers with fucking sticks in a parking garage, and on monday they can be back on campus, taking notes in accounting. these putrid pieces of human garbage think they can be nazis all weekend, and then on thursday they can go to the professional development workshop with the department and enjoy those brownies that diane brought in.

no. no, they fucking cannot.

if you want to be a goddamned weekend nazi, you have to be a nazi every goddamned day. you want to be a weekend nazi? then you face the fucking music on monday, you cowardly piece of shit. you go ahead and live in a world where your hatred of other people means nobody wants to hire you, work with you, live with you, break bread with you; you hateful fuck. you get to suffer the natural consequences of your belief in the lesser humanity of others. you get to live the outcome of your violence, your acts of bigotry. you get to live your ugly truth, alone.

Black people don’t get to stop being black. Jewish people don’t get to stop being jewish. Minorities live their truth every waking moment of their lives, so these wastes of space can live their chosen identity 24/7/365 as well.

“I came to this march for the message that white European culture has a right to be here just like every other culture,” Cvjetanovic opined. “It is not perfect; there are flaws to it, of course. However I do believe that the replacement of the statue will be the slow replacement of white heritage within the United States and the people who fought and defended and built their homeland. Robert E Lee is a great example of that. He wasn’t a perfect man, but I want to honor and respect what he stood for during his time.”

(cont.)

Let me pause to stretch my eyeballs since I just rolled them so hard I think they’re sprained.

Okay. So.

UNFORTUNATELY……white nationalists haven’t figured out a way to define their culture outside of how it relates to oppressing everyone else. I’m not even joking or throwing shade or making light. I can go on Twitter right now and make a culturally specific hashtag that other Black people will relate to, and it has nothing to do with hate or oppression. We’ll be celebrating a shared kinship and experience in this country, and of course white people will chime in with how excluded they feel, but that’s their problem not mine. Every culture in the US can do that.

Until white people can all come together and find some way to express the good things about being white that aren’t somehow related to the bad things that happen to everyone else, you don’t really get to celebrate just simply being white. I’m sorry if that sounds unfair to you, that Black people can celebrate being Black but white people can’t celebrate being white, but to me it seems a very small price to pay for all the benefits of being white at the expense of everyone else.

We celebrate being Black because y'all’s grandpas did this, brought us here, and separated us from our heritage and culture. So we had to BUILD one and the only thing we had in common were the chains (and religion) forced on us by white people and how we’re treated by this country because of our skin color. We built a culture because we had no access to our heritage. Our culture is on our skin because that’s the way y'all set it up. If you want to celebrate your heritage, trace it back to wherever you came from and put on some lederhosen or a kilt or a beret or some wooden shoes, because you can actually trace where you came from. You don’t get to just celebrate simply being white and the *only* reason you even want to is because you feel threatened by everyone else who isn’t.

there’s a tongue in cheek way jews summarize a lot of our holiday celebrations: ‘they tried to kill us, they failed, let’s eat!’. when you have that kind of heritage, you don’t feel all that sympathetic when one of the guys that’s trying to kill you whines about how he just doesn’t feel special enough. like rafi-dangelo says, figure out what part of your heritage to celebrate that isn’t about wearing the jackboot pressed down on the rest of our necks. we’ll be more than happy to celebrate it with you.

Around where I live, which is a mix of urban and rural in the Midwest, there is an annual

Celtic fest

with separate Scottish fest and Irish fest in other corners of the state

Russian fest

Greek fest (possibly more than one)

Polish fest (possibly more than one)

at least two different Dutch fests (on the other side of the state)

Danish fest

a whole tourist town that does multiple German festivals per year

Renn fair (admittedly a little problematic to label this as white)

Victorian fair

quite a number of Shakespeare festivals

tons of others I’m not aware of and that didn’t turn up with quick googling

All of which are completely innocent and unobjectionable ways to celebrate white heritage. Seriously, if you go looking even a little bit (around where I live at least some of these have billboards), there are a ton of peaceful ways to celebrate white heritage(s) that celebrate arts and food and music and dance–the same sorts of cultural things everyone else is celebrating–and don’t celebrate hurting anyone.

(Of course they’ll also remind you that your ancestors aren’t from here, but, hey, that’s a good thing too.)

I just wanted to reblog this so all y’all can see what I’m talking about. Nobody has a problem with European heritage celebrations. I live in NYC and we have a parade like every other month for the Germans or the Italians or the Irish or the Greeks. It’s fun. And just like the Dominican Day Parade or any of the other brown folks celebrations we have where white people will come with their friends of color and party with us, sometimes you’ll see see POC out celebrating with those white folks on their heritage days. If you are actually celebrating something worth celebrating, nobody is ever trying to take that away from you. Your white skin just ain’t enough to throw a party about.

another person said what i was saying and said it better, so i’m reblogging again for it. yeah, there are all kinds of european heritage celebrations, and have been all along. they do no harm. the reason it’s not enough for haters is because they’re haters.
