And if rape is rampant inside the facilities could the real agenda be even more nefarious than we want to comprehend? Those women have no protections in those cages and now the men who rape them don’t need any That was my first thought when I read the tweet ....... Quote feature must be wonky.

How does that fit into the pro life Agenda? And if rape is rampant inside the facilities could the real agenda be even more nefarious than we want to comprehend? Those women have no protections in those cages and now the men who rape them don’t need any What moment in history looks like this? Why? I read a meme once that paraphrased talked about how Americans continues to fail an open book test. We already know what injustice looks like. We already know the costs. Nothing new under the sun. calendar.eji.org calendar.eji.org/racial-injustice/sep/15 A great resource for examining history for similarities. |

Why would anyone find joy in confusing someone vested in becoming anti-racist?
ETA It’s kind of an insulting concept when you think it through. Be mindful of the fact that white people created this system without the help of Black people. Personal responsibility and ownership would dictate that anti-racist work be done by those who benefit from it the most. Placing the onus on Black people to not only help you, but do it in such a way to tip toe around your emotions is kind of abusive.
We don’t tell rape victims to fix systems that resulted in their assault so why do it to Black people?

I know no one intends to be hurtful when they act shocked at what America is capable of but be cognizant of how/why someone who has been active in this work might find your shock triggering. The I told you doesn’t feel good when your human rights are being violated.

“ The right acknowledgment of black justice, humanity, freedom and happiness won’t be found in your book clubs, protest signs, chalk talks or organizational statements. It will be found in your earnest willingness to dismantle systems that stand in our way — be they at your job, in your social network, your neighborhood associations, your family or your home. It’s not just about amplifying our voices, it’s about investing in them and in our businesses, education, political representation, power, housing and art. It starts, also, with reflection on the harm you’ve probably caused in a black person’s life. It may have happened when you were 10, 16, 22, 36 or 42. Comforting as it may be to read and discuss the big questions about race and justice and America, making up for past wrongs means starting with the fact that you’ve done wrong in the past, perhaps without realizing it at the time: in the old workplace, neighborhood, classroom, softball field. Maybe even the book club. I am at a beer garden in Fishtown when the Trayvon Martin murder case reaches its conclusion. I am home in bed, curled like a question mark, crying over the news that Philando Castile has just been shot in front of his partner and their child. Freddie Gray is dead and I am standing in the district office of the Camden City School District, mourning with black co-workers. And I am all these things at once again when I watch my white colleagues, friends, acquaintances and long-ago classmates reopen this time loop. Still learning how to be allies yet never making amends to us.” This quote is from the Washington Post article. The authors name is Tre Johnson out of PA. A very good read. www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/white-antiracist-allyship-book-clubs/2020/06/11/9edcc766-abf5-11ea-94d2-d7bc43b26bf9_story.html?outputType=ampWho is to tell someone how and where they should come to those realizations? And who is to say that reading a book (or God forbid, even a book club!) might not be a good place for someone to start exploring those things about themselves? I think the author wants you to understand that while your book club might be a good start, actionable change, can sometimes be forgotten in spaces where white women gather. I know from my threads where people tell historical half truths and question the validity of studies that a good part of the work IS educating yourselves but there is absolutely more to be done than just reading a book and calling yourself anti-racist. Whose to say? Well you’ve gotta be able to take direction if you want to help 🤷🏾♀️ |

I think it’s also helpful to ask yourself questions like:
What moment in history looks very much like today? Why?
What position of power do I have? How can I flex it for the greater good?
Is my activism performative? Am I taking credit for work I haven’t actually done?
Am I white-splaining? Framing myself the savior? Am I too loud in a space meant for Black folks?
Professional Peas:
Am I forcing Black co-workers to “speak their truth” when I know how office politics go?
Implicit bias...how would that look for me? What could I put in place so I catch myself.
Religious peas:
What is my responsibility as a Christian? Anti racist work is kingdom work so how do I rally my congregation to jump into action?
Did we say sorry to the Black people we excluded?
If we do mission work in Africa why aren’t we called to action by the violation of human rights Black citizens face here in the U.S.?
Read the story of Nehemiah. Essentially a Guidebook for what you should be doing or no?

Layla Saad Me and White Supremacy Ibram Kendi is a man but I’m struggling to think of the names of women right now Ummm Dr. Blay known as Feminista Jones on Instagram...very much a black space but informative. I feel like she wrote a book A Guide for White Women Who Teach Black Boys by Eddie Moore Jr. for teacher peas So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo(sp) Between The World & Me Ta-Nehisi Coates Bookmarked to read but haven’t it sounds relevant to this post I will share now so as not to bump an old albeit relevant thread with the link later: www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/white-antiracist-allyship-book-clubs/2020/06/11/9edcc766-abf5-11ea-94d2-d7bc43b26bf9_story.html?outputType=ampEasiest way to stay up to date on anti racist reading list would be to add Mahogany Books to your Insta feed. It’s a book store in DC. |

Think about what it says about America that the worth of my life is a political issue. Black Lives Matter isn’t a political thing it’s a humanity thing. It has turned into a political 'thing', however. And note that BLM the movement had a noble purpose at the beginning. Being hijacked by BLM the organization is what turned it into a vehicle for hate and destruction. I almost want to buy into what you are saying because who are better experts on hate organizations than....👀 |

I can both dish and take. I just served up your hypocrisy didnt I? I’m not bent out of shape about your mental health assessment because I can see you for who you are. Look at you 🤷🏾♀️I rarely take things personally anymore. I will read you for filth and show you a mirror though.
100% of my 2peas persona is blackness. Any identity work I do will always reflect Black first. Woman second. That’s my value system. So it absolutely is my blackness that you don’t like. What precisely was it if not that. I don’t need to remind you how quickly I will bump an old thread and my posting history is my signature 😝
O and My guess is White presenting Latina who offline, probably pulls the race card more than Olan online 🙄

I don’t wanna be the reason someone doesn’t have an attentive mommy so I really should make this the last time I bring up how your mental health assessment of me went ****unchallenged***** I don’t know why I had the expectations someone would say hey that’s not cool but look at everyone sticking up for ole Keri😏 I’ll be careful not to turn these threads into all about Olan thanks for that insight black women really do have a tendency to make things all about us dontchaknow! ******** There are several peas who advocate for those with mental illness because they themselves know the challenges. I’ve witnessed several threads where there is a discussion of someone’s “atypical” behavior and the moment someone says bipolar or mentally ill they are quick to warn everyone about labeling “bad behavior” mental illness. I challenged a lot of people’s ideas about race and race relations but I never called anyone POS, bitches, stupid, mentally ill etc. So how I was labeled a troll or a problem pea really says a hell of a lot more about inkedup than it says about me. Incessant yes. Mentally ill no. But you’d do be too if you found yourself in the position black women find ourselves in. And of course Black people need therapy. Our human rights are being violated left and right and we are made to watch each other die on video. It seems every month since I posted in 2016 a black citizen has experienced some deadly form of police brutality. How can that make mental health a challenge for Black people. That made your accusation of mental illness even more troubling. Aw. It must have bothered you that I didn't give you the fight you were looking for. My kids are with their grandma today, but your psuedo concern is psuedo appreciated. I really wish you would just fuck right off. You're a vile fucking human. Quote that. Over and over and over forever. Inkedup told Olan to fuck off because Olan is a vile little person who likes to dish it but can't fucking take it. You're just a shitty human. The only person making this racial or about mental health is you. I changed my mind - maybe the term 'POS' is a lot more accurate for the both of you than I'd previously considered 🤷♀️ |

No one called you racist. I just reminded you of how hypocritical your behavior is if I’m a mentally ill bitter Black woman who needs therapy keriwest is a POS grandmother. You were out of line if you think pinklady should have continued to talk double ovens instead of insulting her. That’s all. I’m sure you see it. 😜 😘 I don’t wanna be the reason someone doesn’t have an attentive mommy so I really should make this the last time I bring up how your mental health assessment of me went ****unchallenged***** I don’t know why I had the expectations someone would say hey that’s not cool but look at everyone sticking up for ole Keri😏 I’ll be careful not to turn these threads into all about Olan thanks for that insight black women really do have a tendency to make things all about us dontchaknow! ******** There are several peas who advocate for those with mental illness because they themselves know the challenges.

Rich AF. Let’s examine shall we ...the world is burning and KeriWest says she is voting for 45 AGAIN because ummm Oil and feeding her family. Someone else calls her a POS and makes the inference that she couldn’t possibly care about future generations if she isn’t open to exploring another president and renewable resources. I say racism is about to fuck up America as we know it and white women need to intervene neowwwww and inkedup said I was a mentally ill bitter black woman everyone should tune out. 😏🥴🤣 That wasn’t crossing the line because I’m....not nice or something. And yes I will forever remind you of how you behaved because ownership is the name of the game chica!! I said you're not well because of your habit of saying "leave me alone" and then quoting and tagging people repeatedly. Because you harass and harangue people and then play victim. I think you're a mean HUMAN. Period. My only comment on your race has been to say that I think you're repeatedly horrible to others and that your race does not excuse it. You decided that my dislike of you is race based. Believe me when I say I think I'd find your attitude and treatment of others repugnant no matter your race. Also, newsflash: every thread is not about you. You are just an antagonistic narcissist. I thought you weren't engaging me? This would lead me back to the first point I made. Get therapy/don't get therapy, I really don't give a fuck. I just wish you'd leave me alone. And yup. I'm a SAHM and am happy you've updated your spreadsheet accordingly. Why on earth would anyone question your wellness? I mean, it's not like you target certain peas for harrassment or like you'd reveal anyone's personal information, right? I think Keri west's attitude is repugnant. I don't think that makes her a POS or a poor parent/grandparent anymore than your repugnant attitude makes you a bad person. I think you're rude and unpleasant, but that doesn't mean I think you're a POS or a bad person 🤷♀️ I just don't like you and it bothers you that I don't run when you call me racist. No one called you racist. I just reminded you of how hypocritical your behavior is if I’m a mentally ill bitter Black woman who needs therapy keriwest is a POS grandmother. You were out of line if you think pinklady should have continued to talk double ovens instead of insulting her. That’s all. I’m sure you see it. 😜 |

Why yes, yes you are. You cannot support the current Republican Party and not be these things. In addition you are a selfish POS who doesn’t give a shit about the planet or care if there is anything left for future generations. What a great mother and grandmother.  Woah. I think this crosses the line. Calling someone a POS and a bad parent/grandparent is not cool. Rich AF. Let’s examine shall we ...the world is burning and KeriWest says she is voting for 45 AGAIN because ummm Oil and feeding her family. Someone else calls her a POS and makes the inference that she couldn’t possibly care about future generations if she isn’t open to exploring another president and renewable resources. No one seems to disagree with that right no?! Meanwhile I say racism is about to fuck up America as we know it and white women need to intervene neowwwww and inkedup said I was a mentally ill bitter black woman everyone should tune out. 😏🥴🤣 That wasn’t crossing the line because I’m....not nice and really do need counseling according to an armchair therapist/SAHM And yes I will forever remind you of how you behaved because ownership is the name of the game chica!! And when I screamed the sky is falling....well we all know what happened right. |

There are many reasons Olan. And I will not apologize for wanting to remain in business to feed my family and pay my bills. And we aren't the only family in the oil industry. It's demise would affect millions of people, so not individualism. Millions of people worried about self is still individualism. Just a more dangerous form. It’s the same reason y’all are allergic to masks over there too! No one is asking you to apologize for wanting to feed your family. A lot of people aren’t feeding their Families right now. I bet you could learn a thing or two about resiliency and how to pivot from them. You know the same ones Republicans want to keep out of America? Your myopic view of wealth and everything else under the sun is why the world is on fire. |

I am genuinely curious why any person, especially women, should be on 45's side. I'm not attacking - I really am curious. He's admitted to his conversations with Russia. He's handed jobs to his whole family, instead of qualified people. He has nearly 200k people dead due to standing by and doing nothing about the pandemic. He has openly discussed sexually assaulting women (remember the whole "grab em by the pussy" thing?) and laughed about it. He's given praise to neo-Nazis, calling them "good people." He openly stated that he "could shoot someone on 5th Avenue" and still be supported. He has made attempts to silence the press and destroy our Postal Service. If there is anything a Trump supporter can tell me - with PROOF - that this is not the work of a fascist.... well, I'm all ears. I would like legitimate sources please, not Youtube links or conspiracy websites. I don't like Biden either (he's too moderate for me, and I'm tired of voting for the same old white men) but I feel I have no other choice, given our broken two party system. I'm open to being educated on why the other side should be supported, though. Anyone with half a brain knows there are few instances where 45 behaved in a way that did anything except make Americans look like buffoons and ignorant racist assholes. The Pro-Trump peas who say they are treated should really take a look at my threads and see what “nasty and hateful” looks like. freebird and @leowife aren’t at all ostracized by the peas for their political views and are still well liked in the pea community so this idea that “liberals“ are hateful and mean is bullshit. 45’s supporters won’t outright say they hate everyone who doesn’t look like them. They don’t like the sound of their own Hatred so instead they have to deflect and play the blame game. We all know that won’t change so why expect a Pro-Trump pea to speak intelligibly about their voting choices. It won’t ever happen. Hate is hard to quantify. |
