This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
One of my lovers is a black dude and he grew up broke-ass in Oakland; his mom used crack for a while and he has had bad experiences with cops.
I told my friends that some things I'd heard them joke about were off-limits, but NOT WHEN HE WAS THERE.
That's really shitty, and it does sound like his gf has some Blind Side white savior bullshit going on.
Yeah, it's kind of absurd how woke culture has transformed anti-racist sentiment into "the burden of the white man". Haven't we been there already? I feel we have
It’s not overly complicated. Social media has made countless people grow up to consider, first and foremost, how they can relate whatever news/issues they hear to themselves and reframe the issue to be centered around their own feelings.
Initially, the concept and usage of “woke” was positive, and it was primarily used within POC communities. But then, it started being used by white people—both white liberals and the right wing. And then it lost all meaning.
It meant whatever was most convenient for whomever was using it. It was used as a concept to bolster white liberal credentials while the right wing used to to describe any person/thing they wanted to tarnish with the word itself.
Social media is absolutely to blame for this phenomenon. And it’s partly to blame for the death of nuance. The de-evolution of our various forms of news also spurred nuance into non-existence, but social media trained the actual words coming out of people’s brains. It simplified everything in order to clearly establish order between liberal and conservative. Politics became a series of in-words to better learn who we support and who we yell at until we’re both on the verge of sending death threats. Politics is now whoever can land a snarkier jab has the high ground.
It’s fucking pointless. The conversation serves no one but the people having the conversation, so it can be held up as proof that they have the right beliefs for others who they are positive share their beliefs. Life is a big, meaningless joke.
Not nearly as absurd as resisting it by firing into crowds of innocent people and voting for someone who openly struggles to put basic sentences together.
If you want to play the "this person represents everyone I disagree with" game, you're going to have to do better than one person, who may not even exist, being a dildo.
I'm not buying this. Has real "as a black man" energy to me
I mean, Jordan peele used this concept in his film. It’s not unheard of. And it totally tracks with white liberal America. This didn’t set off any red flags in my mind
Yeah somehow this reads as 4chan circlejerk bait. An excuse for the predominantly white male userbase to all say in unison "see? even black people hate wokeness!"
could be. The chances are quite high.
But as someone belonging to a different minority group, I'd be annoyed after a while as well if someone kept mentioning it all the time.
Thanks for being an ally and jumping in if someone is being shitty, but mentioning it proacively all the time would really annoy me
