Listing race in email signature?

[Anonymous]

I think we should have a "red light, green light, yellow light" party in our email signatures!

Red=taken
Green=single and ready to mingle
Yellow=it's complicated

I think we're going to look back at this decade and cringe with mortification that it ever got to this point. Future generations will read about us and say, "WTF were they thinking??"

This is the most performative one of all. Because people actually ARE in a position to do something about this. Like, just give your house to the tribe instead of cluttering up your email signature. One of those is effective and the other is a mean joke.

It is not performative nor is it a joke in any way.

Fundamentally, Land Back is about knowing whose lands you’re on, educating others, and taking action to promote Indigenous self-determination.

In other contexts, Land Back means finding creative ways to give back to Indigenous people. In urban settings, where physical land cannot feasibly be returned, Land Back could look like developing a cultural space where Indigenous peoples can hold community. For the average person, Land Back may be paying a voluntary “land tax” to support a local Indigenous tribe or even something as simple as adding a land-back statement to your email signature to acknowledge the stolen land you occupy.

If you find yourself in possession of stolen property, you are morally obligated to return it to its rightful owner. Otherwise you are forcing the rightful owner to bear the loss. You must return the stolen land you own to its rightful owner.

I know you are being sarcastic and disingenuous but you are wrong. Since PP was not the one who stole anything and she paid for her land (in this hypothetical) there’s the concept of a bona fide purchaser that protects innocent buyers. Sometimes I think that some white people are so reluctant to acknowledge the past and how they have benefitted from it because they think someone will come and demand all their sh*t and it’s not true.

Do you honestly believe that the land wasn’t stolen?

DP. Are you the poster who constantly confronts people all over this site about stolen land? Wherever it is you live, your house/apartment is sitting on stolen land. So when are you going to return it?

The white supremacy, systemic racism, and unearned white privilege in America has never been more obvious than the past month.

Just open your eyes, people!

I know you're deadly serious, but every word the two of you write reads like satire. So... bravo?

They can’t. They have to believe that their success is due to their hard work. And if they don’t feel successful, they have to believe that the success they deserved because of their hard work has been stolen from them by (1) certain other people who shouldn’t be here* in the first place; and (2) left wing radicals that have rigged the universities, other schools, and the government to benefit themselves and the certain other people from #1.

*Shouldn’t “be here” meaning shouldn’t live in the US (in the case of immigrants and other undesirables) or shouldn’t even exist (e.g., Transgender people).

Yes! There are still people in the USA (mostly MAGAs) who believe in racist falsehoods such as: “hard work leads to success.” We are surrounded by these racists.

So hard work is racist? I thought that was the American way?

No White man has ever worked hard in their life. They get everything on a silver platter from the day they are born.

Is this common practice now? I've never seen it.

Common Practice?! lol more like stupid virtue signaling.

Absolutely. My boys are mostly white. We had the platters ready for them when we brought them home from the hospital. It was hard to fit both the brand new car for when they turn 16 and the prestigious college on the platter but we got a big one so it works for us
