Can you be "woke" and date white people?

[Goldie]

Nobody is truly "woke" tho, if you're still living in the system then how can you claim to be the genuine article? A real revolutionary?

I feel like we have this unrealistic view of what being "woke" really is..............

How does someone not live in the system?

No disrespect to any of you but some of you have not left the continental United States so you don't see the bigger picture. All you know is what happens here or what you see through the tell lies vision. Or your internet. Travel, read learn about different cultures and you will understand a more worldly view of yourself. Yes if you life in this place you understand slavery and you know who enslaved you. But please don't be so narrow to think that anyone can remove your blackness because that is the person you love or that person is automatically a person that because they are white has no value to you as a person or us as a people.

You still never answered the question. White people do more for blacks than blacks? lol Explain.

@TheMasterKey @Race Jones have you travelled yet and if so where and what was your experience in that culture?

You "leave" it, there are a few ways to do so.

1. Live off the grid

2. Move, to a country that you feel isn't apart of the "system"

3. Slowly erode at it's columns and institutions, which is the most realistic approach, major political change takes a lot of time.

I feel like a lot of people think fighting the system is gonna be like some red dawn shit or something.

I am sure I didn't say all white people. I am saying someone married to a white person. I live in New York where the mayor is married to a black woman and he has fought to stop some of the things like stop and frisk and other things . Is she less woke?

I've lived outside of the US for YEARS. That's no excuse to be ignorant to what's going on in the states.

Which country isn't part of a system?

People can barely afford rent, how do they pack up and leave?

 

[Judge Dread]

Where ?

@TheMasterKey and who said anything about being ignorant about what is going on?

 

[Race Jones]

If a person out here protesting and speaking up on the plight of black people then who he's sleeping with shouldn't be a cause for ignoring the message.

we arent talking protests, we are talking about relationships

plus I dont care if you are protesting alongside me if you aren't actively working to dismantle these racist systems in which you perpetuate.

I dont care about performative outrage

I'll clap when Im impressed

lmaooo u really think you're the only person who's been out the states or seen some shit. Don't flatter yourself fam.

as with anything, you save, and take baby steps until you're fully removed...

I think you know my post well enough to know that I don't flatter myself. It was a question about perspective. I will try not to insult you but please don't insult me again.

lmao I dont have to travel outside the US to know that Anti-Blackness is global

 

[Reesey]

You fall in love with that which you entertain, if you out here 'entertaining" vanilla folk in that way then I would say that you are lost already.

Some of ya'll can front and act all "LOVE rules all" if you want to, but I find it difficult to listen to a pro black/woke message from a black person married to a vanilla person. That's just being 100 with you.

How dare you come speak to me about loving myself, loving our people, our culture etc and you laid up with Sara/Billy.

Ijs.

 

[Race Jones]

I hate when people start with the whole"You wouldnt understand because you aren't privileged enough to do this and that"

that's dismissive and unfettered bullshit

come on fam

 

[Judge Dread]

I do not disagree with you but we are talking about a relationship taking away ones blackness and the system that makes us oppressed. My point is other people have oppressed us that aren't white.

By saying don't flatter yourself? Didn't think that was insulting, but if it was, my fault.

I'm saying I'm sure most of us have been outside of the country and can see the differences within the cultures. We know there's bullshit that's happening in other areas. I would prefer we focus on what's going on with US.
