White privilege is White people demanding that this blog, TIWP, (or any blog where race is mentioned by a PoC for that matter) be “educational” or “social justice,” as if you have no right to create and use this blog as you see fit.

Again, the concept that your (and other PoC) experiences should be conveyed in a way that “teaches” Whites, and ultimately is in service of them, is pretentious and annoying.

PoC do not solely exist for the service of Whites, even if that service, as defined by Whites, is supposed to make them “better people” and “less racist.” THE ONUS IS ON THEM to educate themselves and improve. They are to take initiative for themselves. We are not their maids of soul-fixing, integrity-creating, racism-rejecting skill development. We are not their ”magical Negroes” of the blogosphere. That is annoying enough when conveyed through media, let alone people expecting it in real life.

IF someone learns from what is shared on any blog by any PoC, great. But PoC bloggers are NOT required to create or gear their blogs towards “teaching Whites.”
