and i think its corny to act as if this type of post is intended to be a positivity post or a living rec list. it isn’t. thats a lovely & constructive way to use the notes, but the post is negative. the post is a call to examine racist behavior, not an invitation to talk about yourself as the specialest exception, or a request for book recs & positivity. so for you to then see anyone, including OP, in the replies being even a little harsh on the erasure & implicit bias that is the subject of the post itself, and get upset bc that kind of negativity isn’t copacetic w the wholesome, conversation-ending spin u want to put on the post? is corny.
it’s also cuckoo crazy for cocoa puffs how any time there’s a sardonic “name one [member of an under-represented group]” post, 100,000 tumblrinas will triumphantly Name One as if that actually addresses the complaint or exonerates them from the culture that generated it. you’re NOT passing!
