[QUOTE="Silmarien, post: 75100259, member: 395596"] I have a very negative view of some of what is currently going on, since I've seen white progressives refer to black conservatives as effectively race traitors who are profiting from an unjust system at the expense of their own people. If a predominately white social movement is policing what black voices are and are not considered legitimate, that's colonialism, pure and simple. I don't love the "white silence is violence" shtick, since I think it conflicts with the idea that we're supposed to listen to what the black community (i.e., all of it, not just the voices that already agree with us) is saying without just wandering around screaming our own opinion to the four winds. I do think we should be engaging with these issues and not pretending that they have nothing to do with us, but making it all about white people just reintroduces the white savior complex under a new guise.
