Jeff,
There are many layers to my article however, from your statements, they seem to be above your pay grade.
What you are poorly describing is some form of faux “reverse racism” which is a fallacy touted by a group that statistically delivers more racist and prejudice thought and behavior than other demographics. Picture yourself for reference.
The points that are largely soaring over your head are those of the ingrained injustices and privileges occurring within the social strata of the US that happen to escape in the forms of — for example but not limited to: cops shooting young black kids accused of no crime and in no wrong, white men receiving jobs they are not capable to perform over their overqualified female or POC counterparts, white women defensively utilizing emotion to feign responsibility and strengthen their own ignorance, and men mansplaining women’s articles to them because they believe an author may just be unaware of their own intent. Hm.
If you had actually read my article instead of seeking out points to critique you would have noticed my empathy for expression emotion. Moreover you might have even read my points on the importance of emotional expression and noticed my describing that socially, racially, ethnographically — women of color are not allowed to express emotion as white women are. They are fired for it, shouted down for it, reprimanded for it, ignored for it, etc. But who am I to describe my experience and recount the similar experience of other Black women.
Crying without action is just crying- it is what children do.Instead of just crying, I write, publicly speak (TEDx to my name), advocate with my time, money, voice, and energy. How do you advocate, Jeff? Let me guess, through embittered opinions in the comment section or articles you misinterpret? Wild shot in the dark there.
Perhaps you read my article and felt the need to stick up for the white women crying in your life. Projecting is then an issue you should stray away from instead contextually articles and work you read from an authors view point and not solely your own.
You are a part of the problem. Instead of reading my piece and taking the time to unimaginatively tout your own, probably MAGA beliefs, go read a book, take a walk, or think about a life outside of your own (probably) dim perspective.
