Being part of the social justice culture or the “stay woke” culture, I usually thought that the main purposes were to:

1) Unlearn what was taught to you

2) Learn what was never taught to you

3) Educate those around you with the knowledge you have

But you see…

You will come across people that will ask questions that may sound problematic but they just genuinely are confused about the matter and just want to learn

I had a white girl, sweet as hell, that was curious about why White people can’t say the N-word but Black people can say it.

Now… If this was Black Tumblr/Twitter, y'all wouldve ate her alive and spit her out. Like, why would you ask a question like that????

I didnt take any offense to the question, because again, you have to educate.

I broke it down simply…

“Bitch was a term used by men against women… If you call your female friend ‘my bitch’, theres nothing wrong with that… but if a guy did the same thing to his female friend, that wouldnt not look too good…”

Then she understood! She doesnt like when men call her or other women bitches but she noticed how women call each other bitches (almost) all the time in a friendly context.

Some SJW ppl would resort to just straight ridicule. Like relentlessly roast you, and you just wanted to ask a question, get your answer, and just go.

I understand some people would come outta nowhere with smartass comments and deserve that roasting, im 120% for that, but yall really need to learn the difference between those 2 groups of people.

I remember saying/doing something problematic not too long ago. This guy just went off on me, called me stupid, and vaguely explained why what I did was problematic. When I asked for a more in-depth answer as to why it was an issue, he didnt want to explain, he didnt have the “energy” to explain but had plenty of energy to say what i did was wrong and i was stupid to do it.

To this day, I STILL dont know exactly what was wrong but I am avoiding that action for sure.

To cut it shortly for yall,

Some people genuinely dont know what they do/say was wrong. Some ask questions to learn and educate themselves. Relax…

Ridicule or slander shouldnt be a first option to everything, if anything, its more counterproductive. Not to mention yall do this for notes and attention on social media.

ALL. OF. THIS.

This shits still relevant

Not to mention yall do this for notes and attention on social media.

I mean, that’s exactly why so much “wokeness” and “progressiveness” seems so performative. They’re doing it for notes and attention on social media. They don’t actually care about educating people (even though they say they do), they care about whatever validation they can get from it by dragging someone whether it be people agreeing with them to drag said person, or them being able to shill their own personal paypal accounts for money by trying to guilt people who genuinely want to be educated about a topic or issue having to pay for it while they sit around and don’t even bother educating the person except in some type of self-hatred that is disguised as being “responsible” and “checking their privilege”. They get validation from the cult-like followers they’re able to get and it gives them a sense that they’re actually doing something. 

When in reality they aren’t. Ironically, the attitude they take towards people that don’t agree with them ends up creating more transphobes, racists, sexists, homophobes, or whatever else they’re supposed to be against rather than getting people on their side. They push people away so they have something to “fight against” and someone they can “drag” and “call out” on social media so they can feed their smug sense of self-satisfaction.
