What We has Here Is A Fauxgressive Failure To Communicate 5 (Part II)

Image result
This is the continuation of a post about a conversation thread that broke out on my Facebook page that encapsulates why many of us in the non-white trans community believe that in some cases our biggest problem we face is not a hostile to our human rights Trump administration, but the lukewarm white trans fauxgressives in our own ranks.

Cue Olivia Maynard again...

 Joanna Clark What frustrates me with the White Supremist mentality is their ignorance of where they came from. Had it not been for a small band of dark-skinned Africans who had the courage to hike out of Africa 65,000 to 130,000 years ago and settle the world, us white folks would not be here. We owe our lives to them.

Olivia Kimberly Maynard No individual is to blame for a system.

Racism is racism. 


We either move forward together or we move to tribalism.
Esarhaddon Asshur "Move forward together" when the country, thanks to the system, threw LGBT and especially T under the bus for the sake of a candidate endorsed by the Nazis and the Klan. Yeah. Sure.

Olivia Kimberly Maynard Yes all lgbt. All T.

White ones too.


So when leaders of Houston tell white lgbt they don't have their back you will do major harm.

It will be bad
Esarhaddon Asshur Plenty of white LGBT voted for Trump so that's a bit hypocritical. Too many white people didn't have POCs back this election or at any point in American history, why should we be entitled to expect them to have ours?

Olivia Kimberly Maynard POC and I know 3 Trans women of color who voted Trump. I know over 20 Poc who voted Trump .
Esarhaddon Asshur The plural of anecdote is not data.
Monica Roberts @Olivia, The vast majority of us non-white folks didn't because we knew Trump would be a disaster.

Guess you want to ignore the long lines of Latino and Black voters here and around the country, myself and my family included, that damned sure didn't w
ant a Trump presidency

Make no mistake about it, the vast majority of nonwhite Americans are openly fearful and angry for good reason about what happened on Tuesday and literally despise this man, conservatism and the Republican Party.

Olivia Kimberly Maynard The numbers speak for themselves. 

I know that when I had arguments with some POC and they would say it is white privilege that allows me to vote Clinton. Not one person of color said they were wrong. 


Some of them had a grand time arguing with me for months.

Nope. If it were just one person it would be different. It was dozens.

They grew their numbers right on my page for six months.

She was for Sanders and think Clinton wasn't populist enough. That Trump did a better Job.

Esarhaddon Asshur Ignoring voter suppression for three years and pretending Ferguson and the judicial murders didn't set a precedent is utter idiocy. White people voted for Trump across age and gender. That matters. It is true whether it offends you or not.

Olivia Kimberly Maynard Esarhaddon Asshur It doesn't offend me. It's true. What offends me is race baiting an election that was about immigration and LGBT. 

Family values isn't a white phrase for get black people. It is a phrase for get LGBT. 


So white LGBT kids need a safe place going forward. 

Montrose center is failing them by race baiting. We need a new center

Olivia Kimberly Maynard I get that. 

However to lay this election at the feet of white people. Or white women specifically is to miss the mark.


POC didn't turn out and those that did went to Trump and Republican in the biggest numbers ever.

I have lost friends I have had for years who were people of color because my white privilege of telling them Trump is racist.

I was dragged by people of color black Trans women. For fighting for Hillary.

So I will not listen to anyone blame me. 

I certainly will not listen to Montrose center leaders blame white LGBT people. White LGBT kids are suffering.

I promise this. If they don't stop my goal is white donations leave Montrose center.

I mean it. Stop race baiting, and tell the preacher she isn't believable in her role as professional race baiter.

It's ok. Maybe one day we can make up. However I do have my purpose this year. Convince Montrose center leaders to focus on LGBT 
and not scapegoat white people on issues out of their mission.

10% is my goal.

I will be successful. Why. I will have help from the very people of color who mocked me for Voting Clinton

This is whiteness and white privilege in action, folks.  You are not immune to it, nor can dismiss the fact you don't have ti just because you are a member of the TBLGQ community.   You still marinated in a society that prizes and exalts whiteness uber alles
If you can't honestly look in the mirror and see that, then you are as much of an enemy to me and all non-white trans people as the folks who gleefully voted for Trump and all you third party voters in swing states who voted that way knowing the stakes of this election, and are now trying to riverdance away from what you enabled.

Your
cluelessness is enabling the very oppression you claim to be opposed to.  

As someone who relentlessly calls it out when conservafools are swimming it, I also have an obligation to call it out when it occurs in our trans ranks

Needless to say she got blocked.
