To Be Young, Gifted, Intelligent and Black on Broadway Pt 3 of 3

Here is video 3 of 3. "Micro-aggressions from our allies". This list is by no means all inclusive, but these are the top micro-aggressions that I've heard as an actress by my white friends who consider themselves to be allies.
This public service announcement explains why these statements are offensive and why you have seen your black friends shut down or change the subject when you say these things.
And y'all say these things.
A lot.
We are no longer biting our tongues when confronted with these micro-aggressions so I don't want anyone bringing their tears when you're called out - saying you don't understand why so and so got so mad.
Mmkay?
Cool.
Y'all get to work.

For me, the subject of sociology opens doors to have such discussions like these. It wasn't til recently that I enrolled into the course, Cultural Diversity, at my college in San Diego. It is there that I received a wealth of education that helped me to understand people that much better, and in particular with women. I'm a 32 year old veteran of the United States, and I didn't understand what it was like to be a women until I read
Simone de Beauvoir's "The 2nd Sex". For us to improve, more discussions need to happen for people to understand, so I encourage more content and conversations :)
In relation to the gay guy that got upset, that situation is a little iffy.. I'm not sure how I would have been an aid to bring peace in that situation lol A black woman and a gay guy.. that's complicated lol
