This is on us
“When you say that, darling, that’s fake news. [Crosstalk.] Be quiet. Listen. You don’t listen. You never listen. That’s why you’re second-rate.”
Said a man to a woman this week.
Patronising to the extreme. Rude. Arrogant.
It is a disgusting way to treat anyone, man or woman.
Add to this already despicable conversation, this was a white man speaking to a black woman.
To step over someone speaking like this is to be complicit in this type of behaviour. Granted, we cannot always speak up and out, yet we can do so far more than we cannot.
People only get away with shit behaviour with our permission.
Perceived Power loves to be able to do whatever the hell it likes. To be supplicant to abusive power is our choice.
Make better choices.
This is on us. Every day. Name it. Call it out.
By the way, these words were uttered by the elected President of the United States. In this 10-second communication are the seeds of everything ill with our world. White supremacy, supremacy, patriarchy, erasure, arrogance, selfishness, lack of care and respect, zero wisdom, zero humanity.
