This lady is rich, and I wonder if there is a certain level of wealth required to put ones mind into the right mental state to come up with such a take. Like paying $50,000 to go to that Guatemala cult and do a huyauasca trip and come up with this take.

    I have my "one of the good ones" pass printed on a business card and hand it out to POC whenever I'm forced to take public transit or walk through a poor part of town to get to a cool restaurant

      Is it notarized? There needs to be some sort of confirmation that you have passed the whiteness challenges that your PoC friends have tested you with

        He inked up his thumb and left a thumbprint on the card (because he "didn't know how to sign his name")

        Edit: that part is true. Love you, Ryan

    • Being the kind of friend who can recognize when they've said or done something gauche, apologize, and reconcile with a person they enjoy being around.

    • Just hanging out with someone who is constantly haranguing you over shit, to no discernable benefit.

    Imagine thinking there is literally no difference between these two things.

    I honestly have to wonder whether these people even have friends at all.

    I just realized I haven't had a white friend since freshman year of high school

    i get what they are trying to say but the idea this has to be "regularly" done is a bit absurd. if it happens so often you consider it a regular thing then your friend is just a complete idiot or you're on too high of a horse. the way that tweet ends also sounds really weird and "making up a guy right now" vibes.

      Personally I think that challenging whiteness should be done by highly paid consultants retained by your employer at company wide meetings
