Are we thinking about the long term consequences of performative anti-racism? I mean, I know at a certain point everything's performance or whatever but I think we're in a place where people's politics are incredibly shallow and it's partially due to 2020 imo.
When 300k usian black women are out of a job when only 5 years ago whites were begging us to educate them about how *they* dominate us it becomes a little deeper than "everything is performative"

Yes, everything is performative. But at what point does performance become predatory? We have this conversation about performative heterosexual males quoting bell hooks etc to seem "safe" to women while actually being quite harmful and i think it's important right now to also think about the specific harms caused when it comes to performative white allyship.
