And honestly, yes.  My reaction to most white women that I have met recently is go fuck yourselves.  

Like the one I met recently who seemed really nice, but asked me so many coded questions about my daughter's school (does anything "happen" near her school?  What's the crime like?  Is she doing so well in school because she just isn't challenged enough?)

Or the white sub at my school that is trying her damndest to figure out my financial situation because she can't fathom how I can work part time, send my kids to swim, preschool, gymnastics, a nanny, and find the money to afford summer vacations. 

Or the white woman who told me to avoid Carowinds (local amusement park) at the first of the month because the clientele changes.  

And I got an email from a parent the other week who wants to get together with my daughter so her son can practice his social skills-because that's what she is here for right, so your son can get some practice?  

And that was in the past two weeks.  So you tell me, would you not be constantly guarded?  

@barefootbarista , you are so better than me in that you took the time to explain! 

You feel how you feel.  No explanation needed on this board.  Or so I thought?!?!? 

Right. That is why I am so confused. I don't understand how a WOC, any color, can come on here asking for explanations. I mean maybe they live a fantasy life and have never experienced aggressions or microagressions, but this is supposed to be the safe space. I have never once in my life had to explain to a POC that when I say white people I don't mean every single damn white person on the face of the earth. It is just the ones who fit xyz situation. 

And then I have never had a POC, besides my toddler who is trying to figure out colors, answer that they are brown when a black person asks them if they are black. 

The whole thing was next level foolishness and this was supposed to be the one space where we didn't have to deal with that.

Is this why you started listening to Biggie yesterday?

Lol no, I just can't listen to the Moana soundtrack anymore!

Blasphemy.

And to add some substance to this thread, I made my book club read I'm Judging You. And I straight up told those 3 white girls that I have been up in my feelings since they let me down in Nov.

One girl was surprised to learn about intersectionality.

I got them reading We Should All Be Feminists next. I feel free. Free enough to not coddle other people's bullshit.

I joined a white sorority I played the game and I'm mad as hell. I was at Deadmou5 on Friday night and he dropped some sick hip hop beat and all I could think was "why are all these Beckys dancing to a beat that isn't theirs?"

Anyhoo my whole rant is that white chicks do not need our protection especially on this damn board!

Damn Goldilocks og victim4lyfe

Yes.  I'm not here for your lessons in diversity.  Go fuck yourselves.  

Honest question- Is go fuck yourselves really your reaction to every white woman who is friendly/ tries to befriend you? I understand questioning ulterior motives and being uncomfortable with invasive comments or questions but this seems extreme.

Clearly, this must have been addressed by the numerous comments after your post.  

However, I'm not going to step aside and not let you know what an idiotic question you just asked because it needs to be reiterated to you enough times to where you don't feel compelled to ask such "honest" questions.  Or better yet, to the point where such "honest" questions do not come to mind again.  

 DID you read what she said?  I am going to blame it on your lack of comprehension skills.  

You must be projecting some bs b/c this is the second dumbest shit I've read today on here...and that's saying something.

Are you black?

No. I'm a lovely shade of brown.

I think you are being an asshole in this response also.  Wtf, why would you write it like this? 

From another "lovely shade of brown" to another, STFU.

What if my brown isn't lovely?
even though dark is
Bitch can't decide between red or yellow undertones.
which is cool? Or warm?

I'm a cocoa/dark brown. Is that lovely or too dark?

Well first decide whether you are cocoa or dark brown by means of Pantone paint chips.

Hold said chips into direct sunlight.

Ask 3 random strangers for their opinions on said chips.

Look up lovely in the dictionary. And wonder why you're holding paint chips?

Sorry. My humor makes sense to me only sometimes.
