Like you obviously want and cherish your white supporters

But when discussing shared experiences around people who don't share said experience the discussion becomes more informative than anything.

It's just more unnecessary mouths, you come talk to them after.


Like for example at Addict Anonymous they don't let support systems speak

I mean what are white people supposed to do in those meetings anyways sit quiet and listen ?

Anytime they speak on a like topic like the miniority experiences in America, they take away mic time from an actual minority

Because such a place is likely a KKK meeting.

Assuming someone can't contribute to a group because of their skin color is what ethnonationalists believe.

So white people have no shared experiences that aren't based in hating others ?

No ones saying they can't contribute just that they don't provide in that situation, they should provide in different ways

Yeah you obviously don't get the point of 'safe spaces' if you're going to make that comparison

Imagine if someone declared a "safe space" where no black people were allowed.

Imagine how that would go over, and imagine the kind of people who would enforce that kind of segregation. Now ask yourself why other racially-segregated "safe spaces" are any different.

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.

The literal whole point of 'safe spaces' is for minorities to discuss minority experiences. Now that this has been explained to you do you see why your comparison doesn't make sense? Or do I need to point out to you that white people aren't a minority

And ideally they should allow people of other races to listen so they can get an idea of what's going on and improve race relations, but they're trying to prevent potential dissenters that refuse to listen and decide to be dismissive of their experiences. I don't agree with it but that's where the drastic measure comes in.


White people are minorities in over 50% of cities in the US. If they hold a meeting in Philly or NYC or Baltimore or Boston can white people attend then?

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.

I never said they had to be in contention, a lot of the damage they do in meetings is purely unintentional.

My point is in meetings about shared experiences someone who doesn't share in the experience just distracts from the topic.

All it takes is something as simply as a reference they don't understand and the topic was derailed

Safe spaces are fucking stupid and only divide people more. If they want to have meetings about shared experiences of black people being discriminated against let the white people attend. So they can learn. Tell them they can only contribute if they are telling stories of seeing black people being discriminated against. Otherwise just listen. I'm pretty sure people are capable of that.

Seems like it would be more fruitful to explain to them what they're doing wrong unintentionally instead of just excluding them entirely. That way they'll understand you better and it'll help lead to a more productive dialogue. Try bridging that gap in understanding instead of demanding that white people should just do as they're told and to shut up.

That's for separate meetings, if I'm having a meeting about shared experiences do you want to spend it explaining it to outsiders.

You have that open dialogue another time, and more frequently than you have the minority only meeting

This only leads to an echo chamber and self radicalization.

Maybe if you fucking listened to dissent instead of trying to justified your bull shit, you'd figure out why people hate BLM, people that support police reforms as well.

How is it an echo chamber if I'm having the same convo with white supporters

And I wouldn't call white supporters dissenters in the first place.

I don't really know anything about BLM or what they've done, but based on what I've seen it seems like most people hate them solely because of the name. They take it to mean that the group think black people matter more than everyone else when I think they're just saying that people act like black lives don't matter at all and they want to change that
