The quickest way for a white person to commit career suicide is to be accused of being a racist. But it seems the quickest way to career success for *other* people is to publicly and proudly declare racism. Go figure. As an example, behold:

10 Reasons Why Inviting White People to the Mythical ‘Cookout’ Is Stupid and Silly and Needs to Stop Forever

Some examples:

3. Because cookout meat is precious and sacred and not meant to be shared with interlopers, gentrifiers, and Travis ᚠᚢᚲᚲᛜ Kelce.

7. BECAUSE INVITING WHITE PEOPLE TO THE COOKOUT NEGATES ONE OF THE PRIME REASONS FOR HAVING ALL-BLACK GATHERINGS AND THAT’S TO BE IN A SAFE AND UNDERSTANDING SPACE TO DISCUSS, DEBATE, DECONSTRUCT, AND TALK ᛋᚺᛁᛏ ABOUT THE ECOSYSTEM OF PECULIAR BEHAVIORS KNOWN AS “THAT’S SOME WHITE PEOPLE ᛋᚺᛁᛏ.”

 

Feel free to imagine the response of someone getting paid to write a color-reversed version of this article, declaring why it’s important for white people to keep their own spaces and to stop socializing with “others.”
