I'm Not Racist.
I HAVE WHITE FRIENDS
June 3 2025
I feel this needs to be said.
I AM NOT RACIST. I have white friends.
I like many white people. I trust some, annoyingly males more than women I hate that but it’s true [and no, not ex partners, actual male mates].
White women don’t like Indian Women.
I grew up with/in multicultural surrounds, a cultural contributor, except when in England, then I guess I was whatever the slur du jour was in the 70s.
My best friends growing up included a lot of cool white chicks, I don’t know if we are the same wavelength now even though I keep in contact with a few.
White women adult ‘friendships’ have really disappointed me
…and experiences with the Lattes
especially the ones who don’t pass as white at all leave me sad.
[don’t start me on the Oreos.]
I eat their culinary contributions [but not Oreos and hey, China ‘invented’ wine circa 7000 BCE]. I listen to white music. I watch mainly english language movies but mostly old sci-fi, classics, Black, Brown and Asian origin heavy, nothing against white people but they all really do look the same. Literally now they do
…but oyyyy Brown girls, why do you ridicule white girls then want to look like them??????
“Caucasion” is a made-up classification by 18th century German biology scholars to describe regional groupings by facial features NOT skin shade and it is all bullshit anyway. There is a lot of bullshit in all of their history.
They are very clever. Not jailed by the ball and chain of the traditions that limit evolution. Tradition is integral for many reasons, protocol mostly but mainly common unity.
Tradition must change with the times and new generations, otherwise it is cement.
I love white life and I love it as a Brown Woman married to a Brown man. We live a multicultural life in a white construct on Blak Land.
[I love this constructed country, a Land of blood drenched Plains… but also optimism and hope and that’s just the First Nations People, the ones whose blood make the soul red.
I fell in love with this beautiful, sacred country as a child, flying over it en route, flying what was once a sailed coloniser path to England.
I feel we are ALL lucky that First Nations People just want acknowledgement of SOVEREIGNTY and their Land.
I also think that this is what migrants are afraid of and is what stops them fully supporting First Nations People**.]
It could be Utopia, has all the ingredients… but is a kitchen full of “Masterchefs” created by butchers for bakers.]
I love the things they ‘invent’ for us.
I love this lingu-age called English [a messy war between Old French/Latin and the dialects of old Germanic tribes like Anglo, Saxon and Jute, liberally spiced by Sanskrit].
I have quite a few white people in my life, some were family, some have said they are friends, very few have showed solidarity. It takes courage.
Not everyone is Peter Norman*… who unfortunately was also a prime example of what white people do to their own people when white people put their humanity money where their “ally” mouth is.
I occasionally test white friends ally-ship and they fail [“oh ally is a loaded word” and/or their eyes glaze over] but love me on their side. I am a great cover. I make anyone associated with me look… enlightened.
Many dangle carrots in exchange for knowledge, which if one is a self proclaimed and employed representative of ones region then one has to weigh ones better judgement for Self against bigger picture for community.
This means that I allowed myself to fall for the al-lies. My ego likes being feted for my skills and my skills are about expanding platforms
…but oh ffs I do get hurt, and angered at my own gullibility.
One of my best traits is that I am subjective along with being Highly Sensitive. I can see the truth but choose to believe the generosity or glimpses of Goodness in everyone.
After all. We can all be evil. Being Good is a choice and many of us make it.
I also know that white people are shocked that anyone would think that they think they are “superior” when they think we are all alike, they’re just ‘better’, which is based on historical identity. Not cultural.
I feel that there are many willing to learn and to grow up. One small step for all humankind.
Yes white people can save the world. If they stopped ‘running’ it.
