Looking at yourself in the mirror and acknowledging that, as a white person in America, you are an active participant in upholding white supremacy. This isn’t personal. This doesn’t make you bad. This is systemic. And this makes you human who is part of that system. As Black and Brown women, we too are humans who are part of the system. Only we are on the other side: we are on the receiving end of white supremacy while you are on the giving end. Until and unless white folks are willing to bear witness to the pain they’ve caused, we will never see change. The system of oppression will remain safely in place until white people - ALL WHITE PEOPLE - are willing to acknowledge their complicity.

Oh my. Don't see this going to well.

Is this just a ploy to get free food from whitey?

I'm gonna take a hard pass on admitting complicity in promoting white supremacy. These morons can get bent.

No, the conclusion of this will not be good.

I think a lot of men will agree with their slogan, "White Women: Stop centering everything on you and your feelings."

I'm genuinely curious: at what point is a white person not "complicit in upholding white supremacy" according to these two women? Is it even possible? They state that their goal is to get whites to "acknowledge" their complicity, not end their complicity. Which implies that no matter what, all white people are still part of the problem.

If it's not possible to change white people so that they don't cause racism, then what's the purpose of doing this?

It sounds like the goal is to let these two women vent to a white person about how the world hasn't been fair to them. Isn't that the same thing as going to a shrink?

Well..I guess Im going to have to continue to participate in the system of oppression.

I'm still waiting for the pay off from my white supremacy. When does the money hit my bank?

Damnit, I must have fallen asleep on my leather recliner.

I am just trying to work hard to earn a living and provide for my family - if that is considered "oppressive" of any other race, gender, or nationality then I am sorry - I guess that makes me complicit?????

My wife is a pretty damn good cook and none of these idiots are ever welcome in our home.

Sometimes you have to scratch your head and say, "WTF?"

Failure to study while in school is not oppression.

Sure it is. It's always something or someone else's fault. They couldn't study because they didn't have white privilege, etc or some other nonsense along those lines.

It's that line of thinking that got you and your white masculinity to the top of the food chain and corporate ladder.

How dare you sir.
