Absolutely but policing people by shouting that they need to hashtag their lives is really not great.

@marshalldillon

I laughed in spite of myself.

I just seriously showed my kid the past half hour here in my mentions, and he was like, WTF?
And I said, Oh no, white people on the internet are insulting me.
And he then said, "Are we safe?"

So great job, white people on the internet.

The kids are not alright.

@CoyoteConscious @GlennS

Don't support me.
Support the Black community here.

@GlennS @kenc313 @SalK

Nah.
Nope.

@GlennS
And this is why in general Black people don't feel safe here.
If a 52 year old white woman calls out how unsafe it is here for Black members to be themselves and gets attacked?
It's not safe for the Black community.

@GlennS

No.
Here.

Oh noes.
White men are insulting me.

White guys are here and accusing me of being foolish and, basically, trolling.
I'm okay with that, because it's my JOB as a white US person to accept and ignore the bullshit so that our Black community doesn't have to deal with it and can get some fucking sleep.
I mean feel free to insult me.
I'm 52 fucking years old.

@sfleetucker

No no no.
He's fully on board!
It was glorious!
As soon as I stated that name he made sure that he covered his ass and I was like

@AskTheDevil

Yep.

But here now I'm called crazy.
By white people.
It is absolutely expected.

@AskTheDevil

I was laughing so hard my roommate came down from upstairs and yelled at me for laughing and I tried to shut up.
It didn't work.

My kid's teacher then said- "I understand. We've already discussed this. It's incredible that you showed HIM so many films this past summer. What do you think we should discuss?"

45 year old white guy in North Carolina.
Stop pigeonholing people in the South.

Tonight while I was talking to my kid's teacher and he kept dead naming my kid, which is understandable, I said to him I need to stop you right now despite what just happened in North Carolina.
My kid's name is Alex. I will not discuss this further even though I know what's going on here."
My kid's teacher- "One of the other teachers just told me that if a student asks to be addressed by another name I need to contact the state so they can contact the parents."
"Yes you do."

@AskTheDevil

Don't care.
See above.

@AskTheDevil

It doesn't suck!
Because you can work within it.
It is imperative that you use the Caucasian meat suit to change shit.

If you're calling yourself an Ally then show up

Let people speak without hashtags because life is potentially upsetting.
I'm 52 goddamn years old and all of life is upsetting

Just let people be and speak their lives without yelling HASHTAGS.
Because you can always block.
But you shouldn't.

So here's what's going to happen here.
I have pinned my post about how white CoSo is.
Feel free to share it.
It's not cheating.
Because it's opinion.
Based on facts, but still.
It's pinned.
CoSo is white.
It's not a welcoming place for people of any color but white unless they talk about random things.
It is on everyone here to change that.

Here's what everyone should know about me.
When I was little a teacher accused me of letting a kid that I hated cheat off my test paper.
My mother went to school and said, "You can tell me that she doesn't turn in her work. You can tell me she doesn't listen. But you can not tell me she cheats. Especially with THAT KID.
Don't ever accuse my daughter of cheating."
That Kid was a Dick, but I never let anyone cheat off me.
