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.

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.

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.

@Graci

It was hours.
And we got confirmation that self-proclaimed Allies really aren't.

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 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.

@LiberalLibrarian

Just like the white ladies who proudly proclaim that they're a bitch in their bios.
No thanks.
I like kindness.

@LiberalLibrarian

Yep.

@LiberalLibrarian

I'm not going to speak for anyone, but today I saw a bunch of white people centering themselves and their needs for conversation instead of just making this a safe place through actions.

Just my view from here in NC.

@SalK @kenc313

@SalK @kenc313

It was like, "I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request. Means, No," except you know. Politely saying, "Fuck yes."

@stueytheround

Y'all's pint?
Or 16 ounces?

@kenc313 @SalK

Narrator- "It was in fact more nonsense."

Me- Look at this coffee mug I got on clearance today!
Friend- LOL that looks like a soup mug.
Me- Well it is but why limit yourself?

It's 16 ounces, folks.
Sixteen.
Yay

@LiberalLibrarian

Ick

@kenc313

I have a box of wine and a glass for you.

@kenc313

Oh dear

@stueytheround illustrative.

Nope.
Shocking is not your job.
Nope.

@stueytheround

I'd very much appreciate it if you could find a way to rephrase that and make your point at the same time.
Even with the asterisk line it's not within our boundaries.
It might be different overseas, but this is not ours to use even illustratively.

My friend just created a new masterpiece.
