I have to eat dinner and junk, but after I do and I clean up while formulating my thoughts as best I can I have some shit to say about the fact that CoSo is in fact SoWhite and my fellow white people here are responding to the SCRIPT when called out on it.
See you soon.
If you mute or block me beforehand that's okay.
Heaven forfend we're uncomfortable.

I am doing this because y'all just drove one of my favorite human beings on here to take a break.
We all.
White people are the majority here, moreso than on this planet.
One of my favorite people just had to excuse herself politely, despite the fact that she shouldn't have to be polite.
So we're going to have what they call A Come To Jesus discussion here in the South that a ton of white people here are comfortable letting suffer.
I'm not done dinner but my family is.
So I'm going to take bites between posts.
Have you ever looked at the Firehose and seen how white it is?
It's natural if you didn't notice.
Last October a lot of Black Twitter started feeling out other platforms and many of these people left here quickly.
Why?
Because it's white AF and wasn't a safe space. So let's take a moment to discuss safe spaces for Black people and other people of color in social media after I take a bite of my food.
People said that the racism conversation around CounterSocial should continue today and I agree. We'll get to the point.
So imagine that you're a person who has been historically unwelcome or forcibly removed from white spaces.
How do you think you would feel if you were trying to leave the space of a South African emerald slaver and you walked into a bottle of milk, essentially.
Yeah. CoSo is that white.
Not only is CoSo overwhelmingly white- but it's also overwhelmingly white people who call themselves allies except for when it makes them uncomfortable.
Don't use those words.
Please hashtag.
We welcome you! Just don't BE you.
That really fucking sucks, folks.
So THEN, a Black woman dared to start a conversation about this and white people white peopled.
@Shelter I drank a nice big glass of shut the fuck up about 36 hours ago and will leave it at that.
Your glass of STFU is fine until white people act like dingdongs, and then you get to barf it at them.
@Shelter Although I haven’t actively looked at previous convos, I’ll be ready to begin barf duty.
