Coinage 2

Badtux agrees that we need a new word and suggests that we adopt the term, “whitesplaining”; methinks yon penguin has a point.

But it seems to me that nowadays we need to make another term as well known as “mansplaining”: whitesplaining. When white people are telling Colin Kaepernick what he should think and feel about the black experience in America… when white people are telling a black mother what she should think and feel about the fact that her 11 year old boy who looks as dangerous as Urkel was racially profiled as a possible drug lookout or drug cut-out by police officers… when white people are telling the black people behind Black Lives Matter that the experience they live every day of having to fear being shot by the police for little reason or no reason at all is not, in fact, the experience they live every day… they are doing the same thing. They are telling a black person what he or she is supposed to be thinking or feeling about the reality that black people live in every day.

Follow the link for the full rationale.

    One clarification: I did *not* invent the term “whitesplaining”. It has been going around in black civil rights circles for a few months now. I merely said that it ought to become as well known as its feminist counterpart, “mansplaining”.

    Thanks. I will amend the post accordingly.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
