They Can’t Define Woke

Agents of supremacy culture often employ the term “woke” as a convenient placeholder for any content or frameworks that challenge or resist the norms and ideologies they seek to perpetuate. By dismissing such concepts as merely “woke,” these individuals attempt to belittle and marginalize important discussions surrounding social justice, equity, and inclusion. This tactic serves as a way to undermine meaningful conversations about dismantling structures of oppression and maintaining the status quo. By reducing complex and critical ideas to a simplistic label, agents of supremacy culture aim to discourage engagement with progressive perspectives and maintain their grip on dominant power dynamics. However, it is important to recognize and confront this strategy, to continue promoting open dialogue and advancing the efforts to create a more just and equitable society.

Invalidation

Supremacy culture cunningly wields the weapon of invalidation as a potent tool of social control, enabling its agents to maintain a facade of righteousness while perpetuating injustices. In their pursuit of a perceived moral high ground, adherents of supremacy culture systematically dismiss and discredit any data that shines an unflinching light on the wrongs they perpetrate. This calculated act of denial serves to safeguard their own self-image, shielding them from the uncomfortable truths that challenge their actions. A stark consequence of this insidious strategy is the wholesale rejection of the lived experiences of black women and other marginalized individuals who endure tangible harm as a result of supremacist ideologies. It is within this realm of invalidated experiences that the foundation for maintaining power is laid, emboldening right-wing proponents to champion policies that, shockingly, pave the way for the marginalization and harm of transgender individuals. Indeed, the very notion of policies tantamount to trans-genocide finds its roots in the deliberate invalidation of the voices and struggles of those most affected, underlining the chilling effectiveness of invalidation as a means of furthering the agenda of supremacy culture.

Think Before You Speak on Race

In conclusion, as a white person, it’s important to approach discussions about race with humility, empathy, and a willingness to learn. By applying the principles of the THINK acronym and considering whether our words are true, helpful, inspiring, necessary, and kind, we can contribute to a constructive conversation about race and work towards a more just and equitable society.

Stupid Tourist

The term “stupid tourist” is used to describe someone who feigns ignorance of rules or customs, in order to break them purposefully. In a TikTok video response to Mayte Lizbeth, KC Davis used this term to explain the phenomenon of “gaslighting” that Mayte was experiencing in the comments section of her video. Gaslighting is the psychological method of manipulating someone into questioning their own sanity or powers of reasoning.

Why Karen’s Maintain Supremacy Culture in Public Spaces

The tweets by Claudia Alick shed light on the pervasive nature of Supremacy Culture and its impact on Black people’s agency, personal narratives, and labor. According to Alick, Supremacy Culture grants white people the expectation that they should have uninterrupted access to the bodies and personal narratives of Black people in public spaces. This privilege often translates into unwelcome questioning, inappropriate labor orders, and emotional caretaking expectations from Black people.

Prioritizing for Success: Using the Pareto Principle and Crip Time in the Workplace

Calling Up Justice uses our time and energy wisely. The Pareto Principle and crip time are two strategies that can help individuals, particularly those with disabilities, to manage their time and energy more effectively to reach their goals. The Pareto Principle, also known as the 80/20 rule, states that roughly 80% of effects come from 20% of causes. In other words, a small percentage of efforts or inputs often result in a disproportionately large output or result.
