Typical post online that I encounter over and over by someone who wants to #VolunteerAbroad, working with children, wildlife or refugees, &/or a war zone, because, of course, in developing countries, especially conflict zones, skills & previous experience aren't necessary right?

Concernant le bateau "Louise Michel" de sauvetage en mer méditerranéenne de personnes migrantes, ça fait du bien de lire sur leur site web la mention du complexe de sauveur blanc.

Et on rappelle que l'équipage se définit queer, féministe et antifasciste.
(Nul doute que si j'étais valide je serais sur ce bateau.)

#WhiteSaviorism

I've been trying to use my #whiteprivilege for good, but a Black friend recently helped me to reframe it. It's not my white privilege I use to help. That's just #whitesaviorism with new words. It's my #empathy I should be using. It's always just been empathy.

Elica Le Bons Video aus dem Februar, das sich an westliche „Linke“ wendet, die Iran-Propaganda verbreiten kennt ihr vielleicht schon, aber es ist stark. Insbesondere diese Sätze:
„You have opinions, we have experiences
You have literature, we have stories
You have ‚work‘, we have nooses around our necks
[…]
I‘m sorry that what we know interferes with what you think“
#WhiteSaviorism = #WhiteSupremacy

“Anti-imperialist” imperialism, saviorism, and western supremacy explained. As I’ve always this, this is fundamentally a rudiment of the racism of low expectations.

Good video on "Mr. Cevin and the Cargo Cult" and the background behind it.

Parce que soutenir ou aider ne suffit pas (#whitesaviorism) ; parce que les salaires des hommes blancs sont suffisamment supérieurs à celui des autres pour pouvoir/devoir être partagés ; parce qu'il est insupportable d'abandonner le "sale boulot" aux meufs racisées ; parce que les mecs cis blancs n'ont aucune légitimité à profiter de leurs privilèges ; parce que nos outils sont pleins de sang Noir.
