Can someone find me an article or wording

[af1212]

I’m trying to explain to a white woman (I am also white) that it’s not necessary to post the exact words or a photo of every racist sign she sees, graffiti, comment, etc in our neighborhood fb group.

Yes it’s important to know which businesses are racist, or which train trestles have awful graffiti that we can work to clean, but to post the exact words/image right in the post feels wrong to me.

Like some woman comes in there after a shitty day when she has already experienced in-person racism, and she just wants to find a recommendation for someone to fix her dishwasher and that’s right in her face.

Can someone who is more well-spoken help me word this or find me an article that explains what I’m trying to say?

Or tell me I’m wrong if you think I am!! That’s ok too.

Thanks. She said I “shouldn’t be speaking for BIPOC like this since I’m white” (so is she 🤷🏼‍♀️)

I hope you told her fixing racism isn't their job. It's a white people problem for white people for fix and that starts with white people talking to other white people. Demanding that labor out of BIPOC when Google exists and other white people are telling you to knock it off makes you the opposite of an ally.

Thank you. I actually went to bed. By the time I woke up this am many people joined in to say what I was saying was correct and the other lady was an ass. Some of them were white but others were not and even so she discounted what they were saying.

At some point in the night a black woman asked to have the comments turned off because everyone continuing to post was making it keep popping up in her feed which was a consequence that hasn’t occurred to me. The admins thankfully did that.

Ugh. We have so much work to do.

I'm glad people stood up to her. She's trying to be a white savior and harming POC in the process.

Honestly it sounds like she just wants to watch them. But in the thread about Adam Toledo, AJL posted an Instagram video that related to this.
