Awareness Be aware of where you are, whom you’re talking to, what you’re bringing to the table. How can you show up for other people? This constant awareness can help you avoid performative allyship, reverse racism and white centering.


White centering?

Most English speaking people probably think “allyship” could be replaced by recognized word “alliance.” Just a thought. The article would be more readable that way.

Just being a Honkie is evil. Just ask Louis Farrakhan, and the authoress of White Fragility.

Ah, but the word “alliance” doesn’t sound sufficiently “wonkish” in the realm of Cutting Edge Race Theory Newspeak.

Did you see the dolt that somebody in CPAC invited to speak until they got a look at some of his tweets and beliefs? He calls himself pharaoh. What is with the Republican pandering to people who hate us?

Here’s how I’ll be an ally to artists of color - if they produce things of artistic worth, I’ll praise them and if financially possible, I’ll buy their offerings. If they suck, I won’t.

5 tips on how to be an ally to artists of color

All people are of color.

There are no transparent people running around.

But there seem to be some people who think their skin shade makes them special.

Newsflash.

It does not and I refuse to act as if it does.

Artists of color? Is this about people who use various shades of pigments, rather than sketching only in charcoal or graphite??

All artists use color, except for the ones who use shades of black and white.

The common denominator in all this “ally” talk is that you’re supposed to put your own aspirations, goals, and livelihood on hold while propping up someone else’s. It’s BS.

"Allyship" sounds like a word Oswald Bates would use...

Too bad she hasn’t been successful, like years ago.

Art is art. If it’s good, I’ll enjoy it. If I have to discern some deeper meaning from it because the artist (or some nose-in-the-air critic) says so, then it probably isn’t good art to begin with.

“It’s important to understand privilege — the privilege that you have, where it came from, and what you were able to provide for yourself because of it. Bottom line is, a white person does have more privilege than a BIPOC person”

I have the privilege of getting up at 4:45 tomorrow morning as I do and heading out to the farm. It’s how I am able to provide for myself and my family. Is it proper to use BIPOC? Bisexual piece of crap?
