I think the point of it being non-consensual is so important when talking to white people who are new to the ideas. without it, it feels like an accusation. with it, it feels like a call to action. <3
The mental health impact is on all sides of me right now. My middle aged white women friends are all hitting a wall emotionally and mentally. They are struggling to deconstruct but don't have strong communities to do that in. Some of them are not seeking out community, because they are exhausted and only know white 'community' which takes and takes and takes, but does not provide nurturing and nourishment.
This makes so much sense. When I was 18 my mom and I were walking on the street in Florida while dad and sisters at a gift shop. Anyway a truck drove by and 2 white Florida guys yelled "keep walking and you'll still be fat BITCHES!!!" And I've felt this kind of violence since childhood from "white boys " and the funny thing is we werent even fat rhen. Just big boned. And tes they liked the blondes better too smh
