100 Ways White People Can Make Life Less Frustrating For People of Color

1. Don’t move out of our neighborhoods. White flight is racist.

2. Don’t move in to our neighborhoods. Gentrification is racist.

. 3. Don’t help starving black kids in Africa. White saviorism is racist.

4. Don’t ignore the starving black kids in Africa. Ignoring black suffering is racist.

5. Don’t avoid our culture. That’s racist.

6. Don’t engage in our culture. Cultural appropriation is racist.

Yet another dumb black archetype who thinks that they aren’t an “equal” unless they have special privileges.

She's really scraping the bottom the barrel with grievances like this:

40. Remember that not all people of color are straight. 42. People can be Black and gay and disabled and trans and middle class. Blackness is expansive. It doesn’t look one way. Keep this in mind. 43. When we talk about race, we’re not just talking about men! Repeat after me: Intersections of race and gender exist.

Frankly, the world is tired of capitulating to imperious cunts like the retarded bitch who wrote this tedious list of complaints—there is so much shit said here but very little of substance actually communicated. If anyone is curious, here is the blue-eyed, white passing, Swedish-speaking twat who wrote this:

[quote]Understand that nothing in your life has been untouched by your whiteness. Everything you have would have been harder to come by if you had not been born white.

Thinkers who traffic in such universalizing are usually second-rate.

I had no issues with the list. Seems ok to me.

"98. Move past your white guilt. Guilt is an unproductive emotion. Don’t sit there mired in woe, just be better."

So beyond the other 99 rules you should follow, you really don't need to overthink all this stuff.

2. Don’t assume that all people of color share the same views. We are not a monolith.

Doesn't this kind of discredit the rest of her list? What if some people of color think her list is offensive?

[quote] "Move past your white guilt."

That's pretty presumptive.

Fuck her. It's not my responsibility to make your life easier.

R5 Then you’re part of the problem aren’t ya?

Luke 6:31 "Do to others as you would have them do to you".

Dear, that's ALL you need.

Is she aware that she has a bogger hanging out of her nose @ R3? I'm embarrassed for her, as a white person especially.

The required shampoo AND hair conditioner, in the shower, is over the top.

^ Yeah like bring your own then you cheap entitled bitch.

Since when are only POC raped? All the women I know that were raped were white women raped by black men. I don’t see how lying about how things are makes everything better.

[quote]All the women I know that were raped were white women raped by black men.

Sure, Jan.

101 Winey bitches of any color should be ignored.

Well I for one took copious notes! I shall run the by my domestic coordinator La'Tralier Perkins - Jones when she returns from her Thanksgiving conjugal trip to visit "her man" who is currently incarcerated in Florida. I hope she took my advice regarding the Lysol douches before and after intercourse!!!

A lot of these are just rules for not being an asshole to any of your friends.

It would be nice if more people remembered #2

I'm looking forward to the 100 ways People Of Color can make life less frustrating for White people list.

The list is ok - but it felt stretched in order to find 100 items.

Outside of her hair, she looks like a white woman with blue eyes. I'm not saying she hasn't met racism in her life, but...c'mon. She clearly has a white parent.

It just seems awfully strident of her - when it ALMOST appears like she's co-opting this stuff to feel aggrieved and have something to write about.

A Karen is a Karen of any color.

No thanks, snowflake.

An article with the reverse premise would be interesting and immediately get the writer cancelled

I found the list very helpful but she's probably just preaching to the choir. That saix, I was annoyed by 13:. Stop asking thin-bodied Black women, "Has anyone ever told you that you look like Butterfly McQueen?" and requesting we cry, "I doan know nuthin bout birthing babies!"

r22 in my experience, it is usually mixed-race people who are the most militant about things like this. Kind of like the most militant Marxists I know all had very comfortable socioeconomic backgrounds in childhood. Now that I think about it, the people of color I know like this are generally privileged too, usually socioeconomically. In both cases, maybe it has something to do with guilt, especially unacknowledged guilt, about their relative privilege.

Why do we even have to kowtow to their demands?

You don't, r27.

R21 , they could do the following:

STOP: Playing the race card Playing the victim card Excusing out of wedlock children Encouraging single mothers to have more babies Downplaying education as the way to better their current situation Excusing their children when they lie , cheat and steal Excusing the gun violence in their communities Stop looking the other way when gang bangers commit crimes Stop discouraging people from seeking mental health treatment .

Do all those things and then maybe things would improve

Gosh. And I can think of three things that people of color can do that not only would make life better for people of color but improve life for the rest of us.

[quote]Luke 6:31 "Do to others as you would have them do to you".

[quote]Dear, that's ALL you need.

Oh yes, yes, YES!

R26 - that's not always been my experience, but I agree that I have seen that as well.

I went to college with Ben Jealous, the former head of the NAACP - and he was the most militant guy I've ever met. I honestly did not know what this white guy was going on about in one of our seminars - and later learned he was part black.

His white father comes from a blue-blood multi-millionaire family in New England. His mother's family were among the Jack and Jill set.

He was on that PBS Finding My Roots show - turns out he's 12% black. Not saying that anything he fought for and anything he said was not true - but it felt a bit weird. For all intents and purposes, I thought he was a rich, privileged white guy who only went to private schools (true).

To a certain extent, racism is typically experienced because you visually do not look white. I don't believe Ben or this author have had the same experience as other people of color. I'm not saying it has never happened, but seems off to take the mic and preach about it like you've been so down-trodden yourself.

I’ve never met a mixed person who doesn’t have a serious complex about it, especially people who are really light-skinned. They tend to be the most obsessed with racism (despite the fact that they don’t experience it at nearly the same level) because they are, at the end of the day, insecure. They’re projecting all their toxic neuroses onto the world.

63. If there are only a couple of people of color in your seminar, don’t weirdly stare at them when the lecturer poses questions about race and expect them to answer everything.

Bullshit. Her suggestion is exactly the opposite of what you should do if you are white. If you are white, you do not comment on anything race related, except to acknowledge in vague terms that racism exists and it is bad and diversity is good and we need more. This one pisses me off because white people have been told over and over again that they value their opinions too much and that they are too willing to speak up about things outside their personal experience. And that’s legit. It’s a fair criticism. So why is she saying the opposite?

Overall, I think the list comes off pretty poorly. The ones telling people what not to do make reading the list feel like being accused of being likely to do the stuff listed. And I am not likely to refer to Africa as a country, hit on someone by saying I’ve never fucked a black person, or touch a black woman’s hair.

Others are off-putting because they are so obvious. If you want to complain about poor behavior, fine. But don’t do it in the guise of creating a helpful list - Never try and pull any uninvited “race play” shit in the bedroom? She left out “Don’t set fires to daycare centers”

Some of the ones suggesting what to do are good. I liked the ones below.

24. Read books by people of color. I recommend Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde, The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander and literally everything that Junot Diaz writes for great insights into Blackness.

25. Watch shows that are created by people of color i.e. Atlanta or Insecure. (Seriously, if you haven’t seen Atlanta, you need to watch it. Now.)

26. Have a critical eye when watching TV and movies. How are they portraying people of color and why? What purpose does it serve?

"Don't move into my neighborhood bitch because WE own it."

"You can't tell me I can't move into your neighborhood because YOU don't own it."

Nothing racist in any of that now is there?

Also look the other way when your favorite white character goes dark-skinned but we won't look the other way when our favorite character goes light-skinned.

The guy in the picture is kind of cute.

That’s all. Carry on.

Don't call yourselves " People of color" when you mean " black" because there are millions of " People of color" who are not black, and we resent the co-opting.

R37 “POC” was just a way to loop more people into the BLM grift, but make no mistake there is only one color that’s the star of the show.

Her list is exhausting and she's not someone I'd be friends with. You would be constantly on edge afraid to make a faux pas. How about treat everyone the same but be yourself?

[quote]Why do we even have to kowtow to their demands?

Only Democrats take this 'woke' shit seriously.

That's why they need to be voted out, because it will continue to fester unless it's nipped in the bud.

And they aren't willing to do that.

I'm a Democrat R40. Don't lump us all together. You think all Democrats are far left. Not so.

I'm not voting Maga though.

Oh, and I don't know any democrats who take this shit seriously either.

17. Don’t tell me what to do.

[quote]24. Read books by people of color. I recommend Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde, The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander and literally everything that Junot Diaz writes for great insights into Blackness.

I don't give a shit about "Blackness". Why should I?

At least my racist Aunt Linda is quieter and less insufferable than these guilty white liberals. AND the cow can make a fantastic buttermilk pie!

The author's white. Whitey white white. White as a sheet of paper. White as a tooth. White as... white as Meghan Markle. And she's an insufferable narcissistic preachy type who has only one message for you : that she dug deep in her genes to find a reason to play victim and then use your natural kindness to make you feel perpetually guilty and indebted to her. Cast your eyes down when she's speaking to you, you disgusting sinner!

It's people like her who have repulsed me from many of those I used to consider my own politically and it's people like her who have alienated me as an ally (mainly to the trans, as they are the most "kowtow to me" preachy, but I wouldn't come close to anyone who would allow themselves to speak to me like this).

The funniest thing is that, when I talk to someone like that online, it quickly transpires that they have NO CONCEPT of the fact that the USA isn't the only country in the world and on the Internet, that there are many other demographic, historic and sociocultural paradigms in the world and no, we are not all obliged to be informed about every tiny cultural detail of black/trans/etc. people's lives in America so as to be able to tiptoe guiltily around it. Man, the number of times I've been banned from Facebook groups for saying this 😂

[quote] I found the list very helpful

😂

The author's resume:

- Degrees in sociology and gender studies

- Editor of self-published feminist poetry

- Author focused on "sex, sexuality, and pleasure"

- Available for paid commissions as a "sensitivity reader" (she will read your writing, for a fee, and tell you how racist it is)

- Author of the hit piece "Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race," published a year before she wrote this article talking to white people about race

And yes, she's single and available for full- or part-time employment.

Does she do windows?

How can she be white with a name like Kesiena?

Girls girls, you’re all racist cunts.

She's mixed-race, raised around white people, and discovered her new identity as a college freshman at an all-white university.

Oh, gosh, what if I just took a short cut and moved to a place where there are no black people at all? Then I wouldn't be bothering the poor tragic things.

Pretty sure they'd all be overjoyed to see the back of me and would want to stay far, far away from my new totally white town. Yep, pretty sure that's how it'd work.

I never understand why some of you get so upset about this kind of stuff. You're just like those people who are claiming that CRT is taught in elementary schools.

The endless need for new content results in garbage articles about race.

5 Ways Black People Can Make Life Less Frustrating For Everyone Else

1. Realize that you are the only ones who complain and that no one else cares.

2. Realize that only you need DEI to “succeed.” Asians and Indians are doing just fine without it. Even poor Latinos find a way to get by.

3. Realize that YOU are the cause of most of your problems. Ok, so slavery happened, and ended a few hundred years ago. The reason that you continue to fail is because you don’t emphasize education. You continue to get shot by police because you don’t know how to behave. I have been pulled over for speeding many times in my life and I always knew that I would not help myself by being belligerent. And you all ruin your children’s chances of getting a good job by naming them Vondaleesha.

4. If you’re going to constantly bitch and complain about white privilege, then you look kind of stupid when you ONLY date white people.

5. You can’t have it both ways. If you want to be treated like everyone else, then stop constantly bringing up race and screaming about the endless myriad of ways you are a victim. Just act normal.

R56 there seems to be this mentality that being a ghetto fabulous hood rat is “part of my culture and heritage”. There is so much ego and identity tied up in nasty rap music and the symbolism. This idea of “I should be CEO of AT&T while ‘talkin’ like dis’ and wearing a Lakers jersey, drinking Sunkist and smokin a blunt with my feet on the desk” is so disconnected from reality. It’s spreading to other ethnicities’ cultures too. Unfortunately this idea is probably here to stay and leading to our Idiocracy future. Would you hire a redneck in off-brand Wranglers with a Skoal can imprint, chugging Mountain Dew and saying “well, I do reckon”? These people think by flouting corporate standards that they’re standing up for themselves, their ancestors and what they believe, but they’re all just trash.

R57: “ Would you hire a redneck in off-brand Wranglers with a Skoal can imprint, chugging Mountain Dew and saying “well, I do reckon”?”

I would definitely hire that guy for something.

R58 That's because you're nothing but a filthy prostitution WHORE!

R59 - but $20 bucks is $20 bucks.

R60 And $20 will get you four throws with Billy Skoal.

Girls, GIRLS!

Give everything away.

The lame quips at the end of most of these items are the sign of a bad writer. “Just, please.” Semi sarcasm is not the way to make your point.

I feel no guilt and absolutely no obligation to make life more comfortable to anyone else.

[quote]Ok, so slavery happened, and ended a few hundred years ago.

Perhaps you should find something to talk about that doesn't make you seem like an ignoramus.

[quote]Ok, so slavery happened, and ended a few hundred years ago.

But it's like it was yesterday!

Fashions go, fashions come...

[quote] Oh, and I don't know any democrats who take this shit seriously either.

I do. Man, it is something else to watch them watching themselves to make sure they check off the correct woke boxes when talking about politics or whatever. Or just the general parroting of basic talking points about this or that. I hate that shit from anyone.

What????

Can it be that maybe, just maybe, this OP is merely sticking a troll's fork into the flesh of the DL here?

No! It couldn't be!

People aren't like that here on the DL, are they???

Realize whenever someone writes up like this is just always one person's opinion. Others may or may not agree.

You certainly don't have to read it.

Especially if it makes you mad.

Are black people gonna do anything for me? You know, like stop calling me faggot and STFU in public, and quit begging for change on the street every damn day of my life?

If so, I'm listening.

I didn’t read the article because these comments are more interesting.

I approve of this list.

And for $30,000, I can unpack it for you.

Some of you seem way too irrationally triggered by this. Like, MAGA-level triggered. I don’t understand the extreme reactions.

You don't have to be a MAGA lunatic to see that there's something wrong with that stupid list asking a whole racial group to make life easier for another one. Life is a two-way street.

[quote] 100 Billion Way$ White People Can Make Life Less Frustrating For People of Color

There, FIFY OP

101, If any of these previous items sent you into a rage (especially R1), you are definitely racist.

If Reparations would solve the problem, I’d be all for them . But they would solve nothing .

R78, I think you'll find that name-calling no longer works as well as it used to, on this site or anywhere else.

From the author who is clearly mixed-race herself, these 3 were weird to me:

53. Remember that having mixed race children is not a cure for racism or a way to live out weird racial fantasies.

54. If you’re trying to start a mixed raced family, sit down and deeply interrogate your intentions.

55. If you do have mixed race children, make sure that they have access to people who look like them and who understand their experiences.

Deeply interrogate your intentions? Like your mom and dad? Did they have weird racial fantasies?

This woman is ready to lecture you about EVERYTHING at any moment. Steer clear.

She's trying sooooooo hard to be a badass - if you see how she writes about herself, it's so over the top. Sit down yourself white looking girl and let someone who truly experiences racism take the mic.

not my goal in life, sorry!

R82 Could you imagine if any other group of people were this high maintenance? Geez.

Race hustling BLM

Trans lives matter.

who does the shill at R84 think deserves an apology and from whom? Aren't the victims of slavery and the victimizers long dead?

R86 It’s not really about slavery. It’s that people are looking for an excuse to be failures and looking for someone to blame.

I'm over it. Good luck, black people.

Some of you people are really touchy about an issue that probably doesn’t affect you personally. Breathe!

R89 The author of the article is the touchy one.

I heard that she almost had a publishing contract but they “renigged” her offer.

Heard this from the woman who does my hair:

BLM is funded by white rich people to create division. I have to say that’s the first time I have ever heard such a thing. She got that from her black neighbor. Interestingly, she is center right politically, though mostly right wing.

That's ridiculous, R92, but I have to say progressive White people in this country seem to have a penchant for masochistic self-hate, shame and guilt of all kinds, not to mention high levels of anxiety concerning things that have nothing to do with them.

R92, Is she the same woman who said:

"I remember my grandmother saying to me: I don't care what they tell you at school, Cleopatra was Black."

I hate when these activists use the term "people of color" becuase it almost always specifically refers to American black people and nobody else.

[quote] Don’t have dreadlocks if you’re not Black, just don’t. Beyond being offensive, it’s just not suited to your hair type. Do literally anything else with your hair.

Why is this "offensive"? What's more offensive is the comment "it's just not suited to your hair type". It's hilarious that this author says not to comment on black women's weaves, wigs, etc. but has no problem telling white people what kind of hair they can have.

OP is the Racist !!!!!!
