Taking out the white trash 

Yeah, if you claim to be all about intersectionality, but your praxis is all about dividing people's struggles into camps and pretend that they're at odds with each other, while talking over PoC as a white person in the process, I WILL bite you.

I really don't care for whiteness poisoning leftist discourse, and if I see you doing it, you and I are gonna have some words.

re: Taking out the white trash 

There is a literal library of literature and discussion archives talking about how the struggles of neurodivergent people, disabled people and people of colour intersect with each other.

So when I saw someone wearing the Antifa banner speaking as if those things are at odds with each other, and hopping into discussions about WoC struggles by trying to divert the discussion away from it and exclusively into that of the struggles of disabled people, I bristle hard.

This is white arrogance poisoning the discussion, thinking that they know better than the people who is living the struggle of being a person of colour AND disabled.
