Okay, so. Firstly, I am going to address language.

I think a good article for you to read is Fabian’s The Other Revisited. It discusses some things that I think you need to read and understand about why we pick apart and have issues with your language, and why you still perpetuate racism and privilege within your speech/writing.

A part of that, you seem to constantly take issue with the fact people are saying to go back into your hole.

Who established the hole? You did. I of course made jokes about Christ (because, as part of your language, you constantly portray yourself as this martyr or Christ like figure to us) and myself as Mary Magdeline putting the rock on said hole.

Now carefully again read that. Saying you should go back to the hole, that which you created, is in no way violent or aggressive. Even with capitals, it is not. Okay? Because how you can figure that we are going to jump through the laptop and put you in a hole (which we’d have to dig btw, and I am far too fucking lazy for that shit). Saying to go back to your hole is not a death threat.

“However, do not assume that just because I’m white that I am inherently racist or that I know nothing. Read more: http://nerdydyke.tumblr.com/page/2#ixzz1km90Uzp2 “

Yes. Because you are white, you are inherently socialized to be racist and IT IS A HARD THING TO GIVE UP.

Secondly.

You are now using tropes and things that white people use constantly to us. E.g Savior Model, and I’m not all white whaaaaaaat. I’d like to direct you to Derailing For Dummies. I want you to read every single piece. Yes, every single one, and try to find examples where you yourself have done the exact same thing.

You seem to really take issue about the fact that we don’t want, need, or care for your critiques/inputs about OUR issues and OUR concerns, etc. Well guess what, nerdydyke. Not everything is about you. I am sorry if you feel bullied because we want to establish a safe space AWAY from people like you who have continuously proven to be problematic. It’s a thing about trust. Trusting white people comes really, really hard. Even if you are marginalized because you are a lesbian, who are a WHITE LESBIAN. Your whiteness is not somehow ignored or made different because you are in fact a lesbian. There has been numerous critiques on the fact that white heteronormative gays are preferred and perpetuating within the community.

Here are a few other resources, just for you.

Uprooting Racism: How White People Can Work for Racial Justice by Paul Kivel

Don’t say I never gave you anything… here’s a POC (queernonymoose) offering you an education. Don’t think just cuz it’s written to a particular person it doesn’t apply to you too. All you sorry white people that have been reblogging me/messaging me with your “but I need you to explain it to me nicely” better read up, cuz this is all of it.
