Together we can stop racism by recognizing it, discussing it, dealing with it, and moving forward.
I couldn't agree more...
...but this thread doesn't constitute dialogue. Your song doesn't contribute to dialogue.
You chose to address a number of very important issues. True issues. You did so, however, but choosing to use verbiage that 1) you
knew would incite whites who can't see past their privilege that 2) is essentially an ad-hominem attack on such people...and then you 3) double down on the ad-hominem attacks by calling them "weak-minded" when *surprise* they don't want to engage in discussion about your message.
You're not saying anything new. Anti-racists and number of feminists and socialists, etc. have been saying the same things you are for 30 years. What separates them from you...the reasons why so many of them are able to get white people to recognize and think about their privilege or think about race period (which, you've stated elsewhere in this thread is your goal) is that they approach the dialogic process without being alienating or dismissive. They criticize racism and privilege with facts (like you do), with logic (which you might not be able to do in a song, but you're also not doing in the discussion
about your song) and without ad-hominem attacks.
Heed your own advice. Try to be a bit introspective and self-critical and ask yourself if YOU are the reason why more people might not be "getting" your message.
And sure, it IS white people's problem if they're going to respond in a defensive manner to your defensiveness. You shouldn't have to sanitize your message so it's comfortable to white people (though you could make the same message without resorting to ad-hominem attacks), but if you choose not to you should also expect that white people will miss the point of your message. Form is as important as content and your approach should reflect your stated goals.
