I am an anarchist qpoc in my mid-20s. I live amongst radical whites in Berlin (Germany of all fucking places). Before that, I lived amongst progressive whites in Toronto, Canada. Long story short, I needed this. You wrote this for me. I AM that poc that use to get buried under white bullshit. For the past few months, I have been avoiding the spaces, but now I feel armed for the argument. I either have to deal with whites who want me to be there little brown friend, fuck me (eroticize me), or blame me for excluding myself. OR I get the other pocs who believe in working together (read: eating their shit with a smile). Thank you. I am not alone in the struggle. Much love from WHITE GUILT CENTRAL, poe THANK YOU.

While the struggles of various marginalized people are different in a lot of ways there is still a lot to learn from each other in challenging the white supremacy, misogyny, and heteronormativity in the left.
