I've had a few events so far where the discussion/feedback part had 1-2 white guys doing longgggg monologues about something unrelated to the main topic. Last time had some stoner guy ranting about the confusing service at airports here (the event was about Gaza). Before that it was some boomer guy trying to explain Madonna to the non-white teens in our group (the event was about trans rights). Sometimes it's just two white guys monologuing back and forth. It's super counter productive and cringe.

I'm just thinking of a hard rule. Like "if you're a white guy, you're welcome, but please try to listen more and keep unrelated monologues to a minimum."

For the record, I am a white dude.

    This is why I, a white man, do not participate in any organizing and just grill goddammit.

    You're welcome for my solidarity comrades.

      Funny joke but consider:

      thesis: I should organize and lead because the world needs a white savior

      antithesis: I should grill because the world is tired of my kkkrakkka shit

      synthesis: I should organize in a non-leadership role because the world is tired of my kkkrakkka shit
