I’m Black and am not here to fix your problems.  [/quote]

:roll:

So don't post. No one's making you do anything. OP is asking for help. You don't have to give it.[/quote]

It’s not difficult to read and educate yourself. It’s not the job of black or old to educate white people. It’s exhausting, they’d literally be educating 24x7.

We have enough resources that we can’t expect black peoples to constantly educate.

I'm sorry, this "it's not my job to educate you" business is such crap. What exactly is your theory of change?

We're all in this together. This country. If your attitude towards well-meaning people asking for help understanding oppression is "f* off, it's not my job to educate you," guess what? Things ain't gonna change. Things change when people show empathy and share experiences and perspectives. Going off in a huff just reinforces stereotypes and fosters ill will. It may make you feel better, but it makes the world worse.

You can’t just sit in your ignorance and ask for a free education.

Have you read books on the subject, watch documentaries? And have question. What are they?

Asking for a full ass education because you are too lazy to learn on your own shows me you don’t really GAF so why waste my time if it’s gonna slide off your back.

Start with White Fragility (to understand your current feelings), check out the 13th that’s a fun one.[/quote]

DP. I don't expect you to educate me, but don't expect me to buy into all your BS, then.[/quote]

And there we go… you’ve already made up your mind and seeing your own bias isn’t even in the cards.

Sad, you said you want an education then I give you resources and you post that.

Exhausting![/quote]

But what you are "teaching" is not fact. It is opinion. There may be "research" behind it, but you can "prove" anything. Bias. Everyone has it. Everyone will jump through hoops to prove their point.

Those throwing out unconscious bias and racism as the cause of everything are mired in their own unconscious bias.

That isn't to say that I don't believe racism is real. It is. Unconscious bias is real. It's how the brain works. But to not recognize it in ourselves is "exhausting" coming from all of us.[/quote]

Nobody said racism.

It’s weird you heard that in your head even though it was never said.[/quote]

It's so weird that anyone would think "implicit bias about a black woman" had to do with racism. No clue where anyone got that impression at all. A real mystery.[/quote]

It’s not the same. Sorry bub.

SMFH we have to work with people this stupid.
