I'll be a real monster this Halloween

[yeloson]

What if this Halloween, I dressed up to be a white person?

Not a celebrity, politician, or anyone with a name.
Not a police officer, a cowboy, a doctor or a profession or role.

A white person.

That alone, would mark me as different, strange, "dressed up". A costume for your amusement and enjoyment.

I wouldn't even dress up as a real white person as you see day to day. I'd dress up as a caricature of a white person, one which every white person would get to hear inflicted upon them day after day, for the rest of their lives to let them know some horrible, fucked up weird fetish person from shitty movies, pornos, and sites dedicated to hating and using white people, THAT fake person is what everyone thinks of when they think of white person.

That's what their kids would get to face too, not just this holiday, but everyday, for the rest of their lives. Coming home crying, because their real skin, their real lives, wasn't "authentic enough" for other people.

That horrible fake person would be me, dressed up like that, for fun.

Trick or Treat.

You're nitpicking.

[yeloson]

So YOU say. Fascinating.

[lucullean]

why would you sort of viciously attack another person of color for her reaction to what you posted here? do you feel like her overall point (that white people wouldn't necessarily get the message you want them to get and that she has an abusive history with this stuff) is not valid?

[yeloson]

This is not the first encounter we've had, though it's clearly along the exact same formulas as previous times: projection, selective reading, evading points, under the guise of "politeness".

I find it fascinating that she would track down my blog, a year and a half later, to repeat the same behavior.

So, do you, personally have anything on the post, or are you simply here to speak on her behalf?

[lucullean]

I don't personally have anything on the post, but honestly? That doesn't sound like her and I find it curious that you are not responding to what I actually said, then accusing someone else of "evading points" and "projeciton."

[yeloson]

I explained why I've interacted with her as such. And as far as her points, you can read what's already here.

Since you don't have anything to say, and you also are telling me that I'm saying nothing as well, I guess we're done here.
