(1,227 posts)Who cares about the baited "whypipo" or similar?
It's bait and it's devisive.
I'm white and I'm neither offended by being called pinche gringo or cracker mothafucka', nor do I acknowledge other people being any different than me
That shits on you, just like this bullshit. "Whypipo" is your shit. Your personal stuff.
If you adhere to a particular ethnicity and particular colloquial vernacular, dont expect all your potential allies to adhere exclusively to the same. And dont admosish them if their experience, while parallel to yours, may not also be congruent.
"Whypipo" is as devisive as Trump and his cronies. It's nothing more than preaching to the choir and rallying the submissive with weak opinions to devise and perpetuate a conflict.
To many of us white people, you thrusting upon us your juvenile and pretentious and self-supporting "were-so-oppressed" "whipepo" bullshit is such a slap in the face of progressive whites who have selflessly worked for generations to ameliorate such subordination and manage the generatinal shame many of us have collectively burdoned ourselves with as teachers, managers, supporters, etc, is offensive. Yet, atmittedly, I'm unsure of your personal experiences.
Sure, your truth is yours - likely a shitty truth, but be real. We're not your opposition; we're your ammunition
So the next time I hear you go on a tirade about how white people are not your allies I'm really going to go off on you.
Relax with the race-bait. We're all friends here.
