How do you get white men at your org to shut the fuck up and make space for other people?
How do you get white men at your org to shut the fuck up and make space for other people?
I've had a few events so far where the discussion/feedback part had 1-2 white guys doing longgggg monologues about something unrelated to the main topic. Last time had some stoner guy ranting about the confusing service at airports here (the event was about Gaza). Before that it was some boomer guy trying to explain Madonna to the non-white teens in our group (the event was about trans rights). Sometimes it's just two white guys monologuing back and forth. It's super counter productive and cringe.
I'm just thinking of a hard rule. Like "if you're a white guy, you're welcome, but please try to listen more and keep unrelated monologues to a minimum."
For the record, I am a white dude.
You're viewing a single thread.
This is why I, a white man, do not participate in any organizing and just grill goddammit.
You're welcome for my solidarity comrades.
Funny joke but consider:
thesis: I should organize and lead because the world needs a white savior
antithesis: I should grill because the world is tired of my kkkrakkka shit
synthesis: I should organize in a non-leadership role because the world is tired of my kkkrakkka shit
Ultimate synthesis: I should just grill for the org, since that's the only thing I'm competent enough to be trusted with, kkkrackkker or not.
How are you with mushroom caps?
Pretty good
I'll have 2!
The revolution will need people will all sorts of talent, grillers included
Did you just apply Fichte's method to white habitus
This is fuckin genius comrade

That suits me just fine tbh. I don't want the stress and responsibilities of leadership.
