your voice is noted

any other blacks out there who agree or disagree? what are your takes on someone doing this? ime, opinions among poc in general wildly vary on the same subject so i'm curious how widespread this opinion is among them

white people need not respond

jesus, different anon but

1. POC =/= black
2. Any other “blacks” sounds insane
3. “opinions among poc in general wildly vary on the same subject” makes you sound like you’re directing a nature documentary. we’re not a different species. but also, why would any persons of any race all agree on the same thing??

opinions among white people in general wildly vary on the same topic, and that’s so obvious that there’s no need to make mention of it. ime, not all white people feel the same way about strawberry ice cream. do you see how ridiculous that sounds?

Im also Black, and while I don't really love this, I also don't think it's worth throwing a huge fit or namedropping someone on wg. from the pastebin, the plurker was looking for legit good sources to get people to engage with, and if it takes the promise of tit pics to get men who otherwise wouldn't lift a finger to educate themselves to actually do some reading, then I figure it's a net good overall. still, it feels pretty gross on an emotional level and i wish they (she?) were doing something different.

but of course this is wg, so I'm sure any nuanced take is gonna be read as white knighting.

any reason why you think these right wing assholes she works for will actually read any of what she's giving them? they're paying to laugh and get off on how "woke" and "leftist" she is. they don't give a shit. this isn't activism.

my thought exactly

it’s not education and activism, it’s an exploitative cosplay of wokeness she wears to get money

at most, these guys will ask ChatGPT to summarize these articles on Black contributions to medical advancements while jacking off to the fantasy that Black people deserve rights. maybe in a perfect world she’s able to change one guy’s opinion, but im pretty sure any guy who seeking out “wokeism” left wing porn isn’t doing it with an open mind
