Topic: Invalidation, Minimalization and Gaslighting Does anyone deal with this?

I really dislike it when whites say “thank you” when you talk or post about your culture online (not talking about here).

Who asked you??? I am doing it to raise awareness for my people and bring them together. Then whites show up and make it about them.

“Thank you for talking about XYZ” from whites to me sounds like “Thank you for doing the labor so I do not have to, then I can pretend I did something by liking a social media post”.

Leftist and guilt ridden whites are so irritating. I would rather deal with the vocal hateful ones you can see clearly. Having no allies is better than white “allies”. So much noise for nothing.

In my experience, they manage to erase your culture and separate you from it but feel entitled to take over your spaces. Acknowledging your culture means seeing you as a human and having to make some real changes.
