Maybe there are some people talking shit about me around the interwebs right now but it's 100% worth the sacrifice for me. There is nothing anyone can do or say to faze me. This shit is priceless.

more likely, there's not. You do seem to have a huge ego though.

As someone older than you, here's some advice: If there is anyone talking shit about you, you know what? FUCK 'em. WGAF about them. We're all just here making our way thru life. Don't get caught up in the drama of worrying about or trying to please others. FUCK 'em.

Okay. I'm definitely not trying to please others. I think the people pleasing route would be staying silent and nodding and "This is fine". Huge ego? I don't think so. I have a lot of confidence and self-esteem issues that has taken years of therapy to get me close to "normal" again. Perhaps part of me has a fragile ego but I think that's everyone. We just have to be aware and act accordingly. Personally, I don't think huge egos are a problem. Can't do big things if you hate yourself. A big ego is my goal in life.

Just don't worry about what other people on the interwebs are saying. Because WGAF? Fuck 'em!

The part about black women before anyone else comes across as very-racist but I'm gonna take my own advice here and not give AF lol.

NOTE: As usual, "a little racist" is ALWAYS code for "a lot racist". Anyone who calls pro-blackness racist is almost always racist. Big shock.

as very-racist

Actually no it's not. Unlike others, black people are actually capable of being pro-black without being anti anything else (within reason... I'd say it's fair to dislike a specific person due to factors they can control... like their own actions).

On the other hand, the ideology of "white power" has been corrupted by the history of racism and colonialism and all that bull. As a result, I have yet to meet a white person who is an advocate of white power and not also anti-black or something else. That is because ultimately white power (in it's historical and current form) has always been a lie built on keeping everyone else down. It's no coincidence that white nationalism and racism always come back when non-white people start to get ahead in life (today being blacks, Muslims, and east Asians). Racism is what keeps white states afloat but this strategy is as unreliable as building your wealth on fossil fuels. One day the fossil fuels run out. One day China recovers from colonialism. One day blacks escape slavery. One day Islam would be the fastest growing religion. It was always a question of when not if.

It's time for white people to find a new identity that isn't tied to the oppression of other people (how white prosperity was built in the first place) because that was always a fantasy bound to collapse at any moment anyway. Non-white people remaining powerless is not something white people can rely upon as a source of identity or strength any longer. Instead of getting pissed, white people should try to re-imagine their white identity instead.

I think the only way I could wrap my head around this one is, you must not be white. Not all white people are supremacists. I’m white but I don’t rely on other people being powerless as an identity. So I’m not going to re-imagine my “white identity” I honestly don’t even think about my race until I read weird things like this. I do know that being blatantly racist isn’t going to help solve whatever you’re trying to accomplish here. If I were you I’d take a deep breath and realize not everyone hates everyone and not everyone is racist or maybe all of us are racist and honestly if we all just got along who really gives a fuck in the end. You know?

Absolutely not white and proud lol.

I’m white but I don’t rely on other people being powerless as an identity.

Then I'm not talking to you.

You’ll have to forgive me, I was bewildered thinking this was the old true lesbians. Just got to this site. My bad! Keep doing your thing... I guess.
