Hammer time- Allyship
I feel like it is high time we destroy irrevocably the idleness of white people. Allyship.
Allyship is championing a cause you aren’t part of. Or also known as. Being rasied correctly.
The reason I can’t be an ally is because I’m not white and idle. But white people take such pleasure in showcasing their allyship that it needs addressing.
Are you an LGBTQ+ ally? Your mum raised you right.
Are you a women’s rights ally? Your dad taught you empathy.
Are you a black ally? Your parents child rearing skills meets the basic standards of what it means to be a human being in 2023.
Why do white people constantly need praise in order to do the right thing? Its not just that their actions are seen as better than mine because they are white but the need to have a trophy and a title from the “slumming it classes” is sinister. The fact that you want to participate in the oppression Olympics is weird.
Why do you need validation from the oppressed classes? Did your parents not give you validation as a child? Why is it even when someone is oppressed, when someone faces discrimination in 365 of their days every year, when they face it in 24 of their daily hours you need to take 2 minutes for yourself? Anyone who talks about allyship is an immeadiate red flag. A weirdo. Because I have helped white people before, I have shown kindness to the LGBTQ+ community, listened to their stories, championed their cause. And do you know what that makes me? Someone my parents aren’t ashamed of calling “daughter” Not an LGBTQ+ ally, because I know that God hears the cries of all the oppressed and that that community is precious in the sight of God. Its not about me, its about them. So making it about me, even for a second is immature, narrcissitic and downright weird. Whenever I am kind to a white person I don’t say “I’m a white ally” I might say, “James was having a bad day, I took some time out of my day to hear his problems out.” Because its about him, not me.
To all the dearest white community. Stop this nonesense immeadiately and check your privaliage at the door. To all the black/women/LGBTQ+ people that feel the need to hand out medals for the bare minimum, go through life expecting more, expecting better and better will come to you. Stop handing out trophies because you are grateful for receiving your birthright.
To anyone who does not act in the bare minimum way of a human being. You aren’t the standard, you have never been the standard, how does it feel to know you aren’t even a functioning human being?
We all need to dismantle “allyship” it is just the newest reiteration of “cis-heteronormative male saviourism” Its disgusting, it cheapens the human experience to “things that cis-white-hetronormative males can approve of/gain approval of and things that they can’t.” Be ashamed of yourself.
Grace and Courage.
