A decent “not all white” woman

Greetings Koskians (I’ve already mentioned my infliction of inventing words, uncurable unfortunately)!

I’m afraid I still haven’t been able to pick up some points that have been made; that I shouldn’t be writing about culture wars, or that I’m preaching to the choir, so shouldn’t bother (personally I think the choir can use some preaching cause lord the discordance is enough to make cats cry) but my failure is due to a lack of transportation and total dontcarism.

It’s funny though, the more I read these comments the more I’m filled nay I’m overflowing with ideas to talk about what you don’t want me to talk about, so really it’s your own fault. I’m an innocent bywriter!

I was also offered some advice on Bluesky to “join the human race” from a white woman die hard democrat belong to the “not all white people” group, who shall be thereafter referred to as NAWP. I have to decline the invite I got nothing to wear but this Black melanin filled skinned. A girl needs some advance notice to buy something to wear! I had even thought of a gift for the dear decent woman… “Brother-in-Law” the poor soul couldn’t find the word to describe “the husband of my sister, who is Black and that I love so much” I found the term and was going to gift wrap it and all! Shame really that I couldn’t attend this joining of the human race event.

Is it just me though or does this human race seems kinda flawed? I mean I wouldn’t know I was born inhuman but isn’t it a bit bizarre to be color blind, yet somehow manage to structure your entire society around shades of skin? (that’s a poem of mine by the way). I digress

I selflessly solved the decent woman’s problem (her complete inability to behold my inhumanity) by using the wonderful invention that is the block function. No longer will this decent white woman have to bear witness to my non human nature.

So, since I’m inhuman (say can I be like a superhero?) let me tell you why this white decent left voting woman is the perfect example of what I’ve been saying. People like her do not vote democrat because they are free of racism or bias, they do not vote because “it will help Black folks”, they vote because they’ve figured out before others that it will benefit them. Period. And ain’t nothing wrong voting for your own interests, wish more people would. But don’t tell me that because some white person voted for democrats that makes them “not racist”.

I’ll be captain obvious in this game of Clue: The same principle that says it’s in times of trouble that you know who your real friends are, or the one that says anonymity lets people show their real selves, or that the truth comes out when you’re drunk, is also valid for what dribbles out of the corners of your sanctimonious mouths when you are fed up or angry. (find some napkins)

People reveal so much of themselves in speech and writing without even knowing it. It’s like strip tease racism reveal. You think, I’m white, I voted democrat all my life, I have Black friends, I am NOT a racist how dare you imply I’m racist by not saying explicitly “not all white people”, but when arguing or debating with me most of you can’t help yourselves with the little or big racists digs. (trade your napkins for shovels)

Every single post I have ever written here and elsewhere has been dictated by an event that happened at the time of the writing. THAT is what you “not all white people” fail to understand I don’t write “out of the blue” some news segment, current event or post has to light the fuse. So trying to convince me of all people that NAWP on the left aren’t as racist as their right-wing counterparts isn’t really gonna sway me, that’s only something I do when I dance.

Telling me that I’m preaching to the choir on DK when the number of outraged comments stand in opposition to your statement isn’t gonna sway me. There’s a whole lot of NAWP who love to tell people “Listen to Black women” while sticking their fingers in their own ears.

It’s damn near one of the 10 commandments of the internet that saying “not all white people” is a centering trope, a distraction mechanism. Yet here some of you are, telling me I’m preaching to the choir while the choir is singing “not all white people” as tone deaf as a cat in heat in the middle of mating season. You know cats right? These little pets you call your children while telling me I’m inhuman, get some they are adorable and might just make you as inhuman as me.
