I could do one of two things; curl up into a ball and die slowly in my room (which is where I was at a few years back) or change my world by demanding the standards white cis heteropatriarchy takes for granted. Of course I understand why this might be scary for you..

Hah. You're not even listening. You folk have made your mind up about me.

Er...

 

[belboid]

You know the term 'microagression'?

it's a terrible expression. Meaningless. Why not just say being abusive? Or any other form of words people outside of a small clique understand.

 

[Sam Ambreen]

You said it. You put black people in trackies. I'm calling you out for unacknowledged racism.

I'm sure I have a lot unacknowledged racism. Thank you for pointing it out, will have a serious think on it.

Class is not the only oppression. My mother brought me up on £10 child benefit a week. I have been out of work for 4yrs owing to mental health and a spinal injury. I get one pair of shoes a year. Don't presume to know what my class politics are. All I'm saying is I will not fight the class war at the expense of all the others.

but, as pointed out, all your posts completely ignore the role of class. That is why (well, one reason) why everyone is disagreeing with you.

I put an exercising woman in a jogging suit. But whatevs.

Will you get back on us as to why you offered such racism?

Come the frig on. This back pedaling is inexcusable.

 

[Sam Ambreen]

IN what world does 'walking' (your words) equal jogging?

(in my lying sisters world i suppose)

Must. Try. Harder. You. Don't be stupid on purpose dude.

Oh come on, that's not true. You said if she was walking down the street.

 

[butchersapron]

This is why people like you exist on blogs or 140 characters or less. The back and forth - the testing of your words and thoughts - doesn't happen there. The getting caught, doesn't happen.

Absolute and total bullshit, she goes on abut class all the time. Taken almost at random from Ambreen's blog:

"Have you ever felt dehumanised on the basis that you are not white and middle class? As an ex Muslim working class woman of colour with mental and physical disabilities and a queer identity, I have been made to feel subhuman on each of these accounts separately. I cannot reject the experiences of a white working class woman but I can remind her that she does not face the risk of death for leaving her religion nor will she be questioned about whether she is a Muslim when she isn’t one, for the rest of her life. Some people don’t even ask if you are a Muslim, they just assume and snarl at you instead. Even white working class women have white privilege."

You really want me to admit it was a racist thing.. Like I said, I will think on this. I did just imagine MO in a tracksuit in a park (thought of black people in tracksuits is not one I usually have.. considering I am sat in one atm).. You however did make the connection between black people and tracksuits.

If we all chant, "Helen Lewis" three times, do you think that she will magically turn up?

Great, phil parasites on what shouldn't be parasited. No honour.

I have a visceral reaction to that face.

I think you'll find you were the one who made that connection.

I'm the racist! Watch this attempted turn-around.

Nay, he's Irish.

 

[butchersapron]

No, i'm irish. And i fucking loves bees.

Thanks Phil. Obviously people come to something with preconceptions and refuse to see the whole picture. It's called 'framing' in a white narrative.
*lols to death inside at thought of butchersapron and the t person foaming at the mouth at all the jargon*

 

[butchersapron]

This is one of the worst posts ever on this board.

 

[Sam Ambreen]

What is the colour of your skin?

 

[butchersapron]

Nay, he's Irish.

Hang on...!

 

[TruXta]

What is the colour of your skin?

He's so angry that he doesn't have skin, he's clawed it all off years ago. He's red and black all over.

 

[frogwoman]

What is the colour of your skin?

how is this relevant?

 

[butchersapron]

What is the colour of your skin?

This is the worst knock knock ever. Irish.

 

[Rob Ray]

You really want me to admit it was a racist thing..

He's satirising the process of reading micro-aggression into everyday sentences that people haven't thought through. Tbh Sam you don't know the lay of the land here, I'd probably join others in suggesting you lurk moar.

 

[Sam Ambreen]

Well, you tell me why the colour of my skin has been relevant in this country, and I'll tell you why yours is.
