I mean what are white people supposed to do in those meetings

The same thing people are supposed to do in those meetings.

You're the one saying people of certain races cannot take part due to their race. That's racism.

As well as stupid.


Okay so as a white person what do you do when miniorites are talking about their experiences as miniorites

Listen and learn. What's the point of talking about your experience as a black person when you invite only black people to participate and only black people to listen? How's an echo chamber supposed to foster an understanding with the people whose opinions and hearts you're trying to win over?



I would generally agree but I think it's unrealistic to assume people are just gonna be quiet.

Also that's why you have a second meeting with your white supports for that discourse

And what's the point of being quiet? If you want support then a dialogue between different people should be encouraged. Racial exclusion does nothing more than allow your opponents to declare you're just as much of a problem as the one you're trying to solve, then you have to bend over backwards and use mental gymnastics in order to plead your case in how you're different. Which is totally counter productive.


.... I swear I just said you want people who don't share the in experience quiet so the meeting doesnt become about explaining and arguing over said experiences

And your assumption is that because they're white then that automatically means that they're in that meeting just yo be in contention. Combating racist prejudices against black people will never happen when you insist on holding those very same prejudices against other people.
