Wag

rosa—sparks:

Racialicious said this and I want to further.

White women don’t get to wag their fingers at a black man.

Nope. I’m going there.

If you, as white person, in WHATEVER capacity you exist, wag your finger at a black person, you’re a pig.

We can talk about respect and holding higher office and who has what job, but the it doesn’t fucking matter.

You, as a white person, DO NOT WAG YOUR FINGERS at black people.

You can disagree, argue, dislike and even become infuriated, but you DO NOT WAG YOUR FINGERS, AT ANYONE.

Imagine if Barack Obama wagged his finger at Jan Brewer? Imagine if I wagged my finger at my monkey-fighting co-worker who is disrespectful and rude, ALL THE LIVE LONG DAY. Her egregious behavior wouldn’t matter because I performed such an heinous and hateful and idiotic gesture that I would be skewered by all.

Jan Brewer’s privilege, hatred and bigotry is showing. Not because she wagged her at President Barack Obama, but because she couldn’t check herself from wagging her finger at a black man, as if he was some child deserving a scolding.  He doesn’t agree with her hateful shit. NO SURPRISES THERE.

If you can’t respectfully defend your bigoted policies, then you have the problem, not the man who challenged you and took you to task. If as your only defense, you wag your finger at the person who brought it up, then you’re the jerk.

Jan Brewer is a table. Not that it’s a surprise, really, I mean look at what she’s been peddling as Governor of Arizona. Yuck.
