Politics Trumpers' consolation prize: The Dying of Whiteness and faux validation

2.0k Upvotes

To all the Trumpers, I just got a question. What did y'all get?

  1. 🚫 Y'all didn't get a wall.

  2. 🚫 You didn't get the swamp drained.

  3. 🚫 You didn't get affordable healthcare.

  4. 🚫 You didn't get eliminated national—national debt.

  5. 🚫 You didn't get a new infrastructure.

  6. 🚫 You didn't get Hillary Clinton locked up.

  7. 🚫 You didn't get Epstein accountability.

  8. 🚫 You didn't get a 5K DOGE check.

  9. 🚫 You didn't get the 2K stimulus check. (Background voice: "Man.")

  10. 🚫 You didn't get lower grocery prices.

  11. 🚫 You didn't get help buying a home or affordable home prices—they're going up.

  12. 🚫 You did not get America First

  13. 🚫 and you did not get peace; we at war right now.

What the fuck did you get? What did all y'all get? Mister "I'm finna save America" and all—what did y'all get? Y'all didn't get shit.

(Background voice: "Higher groceries.")

Higher groceries. He said the groceries was going down. He said the homes were gonna be more affordable, then he turned around and said, "Oh, you're too lazy to own a home, you don't deserve one. We finna jack the prices up some more."

I'll tell you what they got. They got what Professor Jonathan Metzl calls in his book Dying of Whiteness: they got validation for being white.

This goes back to the Southern strategy, which was designed to ensure that Black, brown, and white low-income people did not work together. It was to convince low-income whites that, "Hey, your life may suck, you may not be able to pay rent, you may not be able to put food on the table or a roof over your head, but at least you're not Black or brown." And that's exactly the strategy being deployed today.

This is why I say to the conservative folks on the right, who are low-income especially: they don't care about you either. They care about you just as much as they care about me or this Black brother here, and that is not at all.

Stop letting them divide you and make you think that your whiteness is something special. It's not. Your humanity is special. That's what we're fighting for. Stop voting for this right-wing fascist; start voting for your own self-interest, and that is to ensure you have meaningful healthcare, you have food on the table, you have roof over your head. That's how we form a more perfect union.

Made With Melanin Monday (MWM) I painted how it feels to be pressured by society into fitting into a certain body image

728 Upvotes

This painting is titled ‘caught red handed’ and it represents society’s expectations on women’s body image.
In my life I’ve been on different ends of the scale and guess what, initially, I never noticed the changes but other people did and after that was pointed out, things were never the same. One moment you're too fat, the next you're looking malnourished, and the next your waist is not small enough-the opinions are always inconsistent, but what remains the same are the ever growing expectations, or views of others on how you should look like. As kids we would walk around with our bellies out and we didn't have a care in the world but somewhere along the way, we needed to fit into a certain image to please others. Bodies change and bodies come in different sizes but what is needed in this world is not the conformity to a beauty standard but acceptance that we are all different and the differences are what make us beautiful. It is up to us to change the narrative and say 'to hell with the expectations of an outdated system because we rise against these ridiculous expectations and forge a new path--one of love and and one of acceptance!
