essentially what you are trying to do with this project is build a lexicon of how to speak for PoC without having to interact with them, cloaked in psuedo-woke language like "the best way to be less of a Clueless White Person without demanding people of color expend effort teaching them"

i'm dead serious when i say "don't use twitter" btw. it attracts loud narcissists of all stripes, including people who cloak their language in social justice to hide that fact. read books instead

yeah the best way to actually be helpful isn't trying to learn how to appropriate their struggles better but to understand your own role in them. find some books on things like unconscious bias, learn the history of institutional white supremacy in america especially in regards to things that are still going on like defacto segregation in education, racism in standardized testing, the criminal justice system and the war on drugs. the best thing you can be is an advocate against the kinds of things you, a white liberal who doesn't consider themselves really racist, still do on a daily basis based on assumptions you take for granted

I've seen that thread getting dragged on twitter all day, usually by POC, so coming on the forums and seeing this thread is just so :discourse: I can't believe it's real

If the OP isn't some weird troll this is legit the best advice, you'll actually meet people face-to-face and you'll get to interact with your local community instead of randos online.

DON'T POST IN THE ELECTION THREAD UNLESS YOU :love::love::love: JOE BIDEN
You could at least do what the sophisticated big boy libs do and read some well regarded novels or memoirs or essays from POC authors. You know, something slightly more longform than a sentence.

i really dont know what to tell you because if you're rich and white then you'll never be accepted by anyone who's opinions you apparently want irl so maybe regurgitating some twitter grifters dumb rear end ideas is as close as you really can get.

A writer that I follow on Twitter said that a good way to get exposure to POC is to follow people on twitter (and to just shut up and read what they say without replying or arguing). I like that idea, I'd like to have more exposure to PoC, but I'm so Mayonaise white and privileged that I don't have any POC as friends or even acquaintances. Not through any active choice on my part, but that's how it is.

I'd prefer maybe slightly less famous, and obviously witty and sarcastic and willing to be emotionally raw would be nice but. I'm not totally oblivious, I know the names of some POC but they are basically all uber-famous, and I'd prefer to hear about the lives and opinions of people who don't have the privilege.

Personally, I think it's problematic that a sitting Senator has a racial slur for a last name.

like i think it's not really what you say, and you don't have to really say very much, but what you do that matters -- and twitter can be useful to follow people (like i said) who are doing cool poo poo so you can learn from them
