I suspect that the author would be saddened if he were to discover that most whites don’t really care about his angst.

There are lots of videos on YouTube where someone with a video camera has driven (or walked) around various African cities. Lagos, Mogadishu, Soweto, Monrovia, Kampala, N’djamena, Abuja, and many others are free for the viewing on YT. Anyone can see what they’re like.

“Dignity”

Someone post a collage of all the recent riots. No, not even that - how about the slouching, the falling pants, the shuffling, everything that displays this dignity.

They don’t even have black dignity for themselves, seeing as there’s multiple murders and injuries in the Chicago black community every weekend.

What is exhausting is the perpetual victimhood that is instilled in much too large segment of the black population (mostly by so-called “black leaders” and whites who wish to take advantage of empty promises to manipulate large segments of the population). It is, of course, not limited to the black population, nor are most blacks similar to this woman. However, for those of any color or ethnic background who are perpetual victims, it is utterly exhausting for the rest of us to have to try to figure out what their next tactic is to grift more money out of us and to make us all feel guilty for not being victims, but instead for working hard to make something of ourselves.

I would point out to people like this idiot that there are no walls or fences keeping people in this country. If it is so damned bad here, they are free to go anywhere else they would like to. That is, of course, assuming that anyone else would actually want them. I have my sincere doubts about that.

This woman’s favorite store must be “Snowflake” in downtown Vancouver, B.C.

Seriously, these types of people suffer from Chronic Perceived Racism Syndrome. If she thinks SHE is tired, what about all of the “people of non-color” who have to put up with her and her mental/emotional disorder???

Absolutely pathetic.

She’s so tired of hectoring, lecturing and nagging white people. She needs to retreat to a safe space because she can’t stand being around those oppressive, ignorant white people ...
Honey, you just proved all the 1950s arguments for segregation of blacks from whites true, that you don’t want shared spaces and it is better if you aren’t. Your arguments can be taken to mean you WANT segregation and that it should be enforced for your own good.
That or emotional blackmail will stop working once people stop caring.

Hypersensitivity is the curse of the victim class. They tend to, they NEED to, have the feeling of foreboding, that perhaps something will come crashing down on their heads the moment they relax their vigilance even for a second.

Little do they know that very few other people even recognize their plight, and fewer still wish them ANY ill.

Beware of the ones who are TOO solicitous of the situation of the underdog.

You know, I’ve NEVER asked a fellow worker about their “blackness” or “Filipinoness” or “Persianness” issues. Not once. (Etc implied)

Yes, with respect to the last, who was working towards gaining his dentistry credentials in the US, I did on one occasion joke (just based on his comments) reassuringly when he talked about the horrors of the breath he’d had to occasionally endure that at least the patients weren’t always eating curries and he laughed and said that was true (I was grabbing at straws in order to reassure because he was obviously feeling down just then, not that I’ve eaten many curries so I really KNOW know what they do to breath). But when it comes down to it I never have worked with people who had obvious chips on their shoulders that I felt the need to.

This guy is tired about being asked about his blackness? Maybe he should wonder WHY people feel they need to ask him. Maybe it’s tiring to work with someone who comes off as if you could be a word or glance away from you stepping on some hidden landmine so that you feel the need to ask?

I’ve worked in IT, and I’ve never heard a whole lot of questions about “blackness” to blacks. Rarely heard discussions on whether a black person held the job due to affirmative action, too, unless they were blatantly unqualified otherwise.

What I have seen is mandatory diversity training where the sanctioned liberal bully gets to call everyone else out on being inherently bad unless you self-flagellate and denounce your privilege. Then the person gets to go around and guilt-trip each person individually, while they and their allies go around supervising and micromanaging everything you do. THAT can be draining unless you’re a moral busybody. You have to be a true believer on a moral crusade to keep it up.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
By C.S. Lewis

Of course.

But, they have been at this for a long time and still haven’t attained the numbers or even SJW/BLM leaders that I would have expected.

However, they would say they are:
“awake”
“aware”
“evolved”
“virtuous”
...

When you give people moral authority based on outrage, the adrenaline addicts, moral busybodies and lower people on the totem pole who want to tear others down will abuse said moral authority to attack others.
