He’s not asking for clarification, he’s asking for a detailed explanation, something a teacher would do or give.if you present yourself as an activist for a cause or an ideology, and claim that the what you are fighting is a crisis of ignorance; i.e. “white people don’t understand what privilege means and how it effects poc, etc, etc.“ Then you’d want to get rid of that ignorance which you believe is the source of the issue. Right? The best way to do that is to somehow propagate your position, evidence, information, what have you, to the people who you believe to be ignorant. If you refuse to do that, or make that harder for those people to get that, you are fundamentally sabotaging whatever cause you’re fighting for. In effect: Simultaneously railing against something that you claim stems from ignorance, while actively refusing to combat that ignorance is mindbogglingly hypocritical. First and foremost, I do not identify as an activist. That is a title you’ve placed onto me. Even so, as an “activist,” my job is not, has never been, and will never be to educate white people on the ramifications of racism and white supremacy. As stated above, white people feel entitled to my time and labor as demonstrated in your response. You are so accustomed to being catered to that you are unable to analyze situations operating outside that realm. The hilarity of your “reasoning” in equating my refusal to perform free labor for someone to “sabotaging the cause I’m fighting for.” Like, you don’t see how you’re speaking from a place of entitlement? Are you serious? My work is meant to empower, uplift, and mobilize BLACK WOMEN. That is it. Also, I find it funny that you all condemn me for demanding compensation for ADDITIONAL explanations on racism when I have an entire show - comprised of researched content - dedicated to the topics of race and sex and how that affects both black and white people. You all are lazy. That is why I refuse to coddle you brats. Do the fucking work yourself if you are interested in unlearning bigoted ideology. If not, leave me the fuck alone. As if I’m obligated to send detailed explanations to the HUNDREDS white people that ask, free of charge. GTFOH^^^That just got my follow.Dayumkeep it in mind, kids. Time is a valuable commodity. Try to educate yourself before taking up space unnecessarily in someone’s schedule -- source link
