I don't think so. I think celebrities in general should be looked at always with a healthy amount of suspicion. White celebrities are not going to fight a system that enabled them to achieve celebrity in the first place.
I don’t know because I don’t see what they do in a room full of white people when one of them is racist. That’s when they can show true allyship…not talking their DEI hand-crafted bull crap they do around Black people.
I don’t even look at the world through this lens anymore. There’s Black people on code and everyone else is suspicious. I don’t look at in ally and non-ally because that adds expectation. I have no expectation of Marianne Williamson or white people in general. If they happen to do my bidding then that’s great if not it’s par for the course.
But why should we be impressed by virtue signaling and pretty words? We've done that already and it hasn't gotten us anywhere. Unless these white folks start showing tangibles, there's no reason for us to search the annals of time for "ALLIES".
Obama and the Democrats are notorious for this.
Not to be a grammar nazi but, you spelled 'any' wrong lol
Sorry, but this part made me laugh.Exactly! How do you act when you're around your own people and there are no Black folks there?
scheerpost.com You can throw out whatever name you want. The bottom line is these people ain't doin a damn thing except talk. The Older generation is impressed by words. The current generation of Black folks characterize people by their actions so that we aren't fooled by mere words.What about Chris Hedges ?

The politically correct speech and symbols of inclusiveness, without a concerted assault on corporate power, will do nothing to change the system.
an excerpt: "Racism will not end until we invest in people rather than systems of control. This means reparations for African-Americans..."

At this current time, it is safe to say "white allies" is an oxymoron.
Wow! Really?
Nothing. They all live in that system and benefit off of us, so there's nothing that they can do, even if, deep down (somehow), they wanted to help, they'll consume and commit Anti-Black racism daily in one way or another and if not, they'll end up homeless and be cast out of the Dominant Society. I believe that we need white people to stay in the Dominant Society so that they can give us hints as to how they're religion of WS works even further so we can defeat it, which is why we have the C.OW.S and Counter-Racism Science. And even still, they can't be trusted enough to give us basic insight as to how white supremacy works at times so there's not much of a possibility of even one of them becoming allies. They have no choice but to stay in the Dominant Society and we have no choice but to accept that in order to learn from them further so that we can defeat them.
Exactly. That's why all of this politicial theater that these elected Democratic politicians are doing in regards to the January 6th Insurrection and Trump's crimes is all bark and no bite. It's to keep their masses pacified as they talk a good game to maintain public trust and support while nothing is ever done to successfully punish Trump, the Insurrectionists and certain officials like Ted Cruz who encouraged the Insurrectionists. The Democrats aren't serious in punishing extremist white supremacists because they are covert white supremacists themselves.
