Yesterday, the abject disrespect afforded to both Fani Willis and Diane Abbott by white men got to me. The hatred for Black women is intense and I feel all of it.

Still, you're defending a person in a crucial role who exhibited reckless careless behavior. Regardless of skin color or heritage, that is never acceptable.

You're a bitter extremist too emotionally mired in agony and injustice to be able to consider any issue peripheral to it rationally. Saying "okay racist" in this context is no different than saying "okay boomer" in another: it's your way of dehumanizing me in your mind so you can dismiss my "less-than-human" words without consideration and keep your delusional bubble intact. You're a very poor judge of character, much less what is or isn't racism.

    Discussions can be made private, but @stillrise1963 didn't because it was very much intended that everyone should see the proclamation as you did, even if that proclamation hoped only for agreement and not dissent.

    So, I was invited by the intentional act of the proclamation being made public.

    Having been dehumanized, I took pains to remind them the mental gymnastics that had to occur to justify them doing it. You defended those gymnastics, well done.

    I am not the "arbiter" of her behavior: that was the role of a court. Her recklessness was part of its judgement.

    I said nothing to declare either of you my inferior. However, @stillrise1963 certainly declared me their inferior in the process of dehumanizing me. As an apparent person of color, they should know better than to EVER do that to someone else, but that is the consequence of being delusional: it justifies anything at all in defense of it.

    I don't see how the Willis thing went as far as it did. There was no real money involved, so where was the crime? They just wanted to do what they've done so many times before: Use an investigation as a means to publicly humiliate the target and search for more excuses to continue digging. It's sickening.

    StillIRise1963,
    @StillIRise1963@mastodon.world avatar

    @MHowell Yep. That's what happened and the judge succumbed to white supremacy. None of this is a thing, or should have been a thing at all.

    @MHowell @StillIRise1963
    This should have been a private hearing. Televising it like it was a trial was absolutely obscene. When you think about it for a second, you realize how completely out of the norm the entire situation was. It was started with vague innuendo, and the judge fully played along. They should all lose their law licenses or be sued or... something. So disturbing.

    @StillIRise1963 it’s fucking ridiculous. If fani were a white man they’d be applauding her.

    @Tbsa They sure would. It makes my fucking blood boil.

    @StillIRise1963

    I posted the same opinion yesterday. I recalled other examples of what I perceived as the same thing. The first example that came to mind was Justice Jackson, Justice Sotomayor, and then went back to Anita Hill.

    StillIRise1963,
    @StillIRise1963@mastodon.world avatar

    @ballista11 When I think of how white male government officials spoke to Anita Hill and Ketanji Jackson, I wince.

    @StillIRise1963

    IF someone has a vagina AND their skin color is darker than khakis... Those old-boys are going to behave like she is less than human.

    That is just another reason I hope when Fani Willis is done, that fat, orange haired old-boy gets his dues in prison.

    StillIRise1963,
    @StillIRise1963@mastodon.world avatar

    @ballista11 Same. I want her to nail his racist ass to the wall.

    @StillIRise1963 Even in 2024,they only see Black women as Mammy,Beulah or Florence. "The help". And nothing more.

    StillIRise1963,
    @StillIRise1963@mastodon.world avatar

    @IveyJanette Exactly. And, imminently rapeable - both physically and mentally.

    IveyJanette,
    @IveyJanette@mastodon.social avatar

    @StillIRise1963 And Black men feel the same way about us. We have to be "controlled",in their view.

    davidhmccoy,
    @davidhmccoy@mastodon.world avatar

    @IveyJanette @StillIRise1963

    That is NOT true of all Black Men. Or even any other Black men I know.

    IveyJanette,
    @IveyJanette@mastodon.social avatar

    @davidhmccoy @StillIRise1963 Nope. But unfortunately it's happened.

    davidhmccoy,
    @davidhmccoy@mastodon.world avatar

    @IveyJanette @StillIRise1963

    Not denying your experience and it is unfortunate , but that is not “Black men”, that is “Black men you’ve met”.

    It isn’t reasonable to paint all the millions of Black men you haven’t met with that brush.

    StillIRise1963,
    @StillIRise1963@mastodon.world avatar

    @davidhmccoy I'm not interested in engaging in the conversation you two are having, but I wonder how you feel about white people saying exactly what you just said with regards to racism.🤔
    @IveyJanette

    @davidhmccoy@mastodon.world avatar

    @StillIRise1963 @IveyJanette

    Trump would not have been elected unless there were literally millions of white people voting for him.

    If A says racist things and B agrees with A, then B is racist. There are demonstrably millions of white racists as evidenced by Trump still being in the game. That still doesn’t mean all whites are racists.

    The other person didn’t interact with millions of Black men.

    StillIRise1963,
    @StillIRise1963@mastodon.world avatar

    @davidhmccoy If it doesn't mean that about them, why does it mean that about you?
    @IveyJanette

    davidhmccoy,
    @davidhmccoy@mastodon.world avatar

    @StillIRise1963 @IveyJanette

    If you think that as a Black man, me disagreeing that the statement “Black men want to control Black women.” is the equivalent of literal Nazis voting for Trump, but suggesting they are NOT racist, I’m not sure what I can say to convince you that they are not the same.

    @StillIRise1963@mastodon.world avatar

    @davidhmccoy I don't even know wtf that means. Mostly because it makes no sense.

    I’m astonished I have to defend, basically, myself to Black women, sisters.

    @StillIRise1963@mastodon.world avatar

    @davidhmccoy Why are you doing that? Was she talking about you?
    @IveyJanette

    davidhmccoy,
    @davidhmccoy@mastodon.world avatar

    @StillIRise1963 @IveyJanette

    She said Black men want to control Black women. I’m a Black man, so I commented.

    StillIRise1963,
    @StillIRise1963@mastodon.world avatar

    @davidhmccoy Is there no sexism in the Black community? REALLY?
    @IveyJanette

    davidhmccoy,
    @davidhmccoy@mastodon.world avatar

    @StillIRise1963 @IveyJanette

    I didn’t say that. Sexism is everyone. All I said was that all of us are not like that.

    That’s it. I am a Black man. I am not sexist. Sexism exists. Woman face it. Black women face it. From Black men.

    Just not all of us. That’s all I’m saying. Some of us try our best to be allies.

    I’m sorry I cannot convince you of this.

    @davidhmccoy Men are all kinds of problematic whatever fucking color they are. Same shit, just manifests differently.
    Are you going to tell some women that's not true?
    @IveyJanette

    davidhmccoy,
    @davidhmccoy@mastodon.world avatar

    @StillIRise1963 @IveyJanette

    I am not. Women catch it and Black woman catch it in the US most of all. Look at Fani Willis. Totally abused.

    All I’m saying is that we are all not like that.

    StillIRise1963,
    @StillIRise1963@mastodon.world avatar

    @davidhmccoy OH. Guess we're done here now.
    @IveyJanette

    @IveyJanette Sadly, this is true as well.

    IveyJanette,
    @IveyJanette@mastodon.social avatar

    @StillIRise1963 Which is why some of them prefer not to get in relationships with us.
