I don't really understand why this is getting so massively downvoted.
Seems perfectly reasonable to me as a white person. Yes, point two could be more nuanced, but otherwise aren't all these downvotes kind of illustrating the point the OP is making here?
Indeed. Funny how that works! Glad you thought it was reasonable, and agreed that point 2 needs work.
Yeah haha, I think point 2 is well explained in the article, maybe it's too generalised here.
Still good general advice for posting in my opinion, better to think in general.
I actually thought point two was the best point. Listening to the concerns is probably the best thing you could do, if you don’t think they apply to you, moving on about your day is the next best thing. Asking for proof of “anti blackness” is problem the worst thing to do.
Thanks! It's an important point but I'm not surprised it's meeting with such pushback here. And, to be fair, as somebody pointed out in another thread, the current title of the section doesn't match the current text, which focuses more narrowly on posting less specifically about anti-Blackness ... so there's room for improvement. But, my guess is that's not why most people are downvoting it 🤣
