Lizzo you're absolutely right. White people need to do the work to dismantle white supremacy, no amount of discomfort is worth knowing that oppression exists, and flourishes. It's time to get uncomfortable.

THIS!!!!!!!!🙌🫶🔥

That’s maybe the trickiest part about racism, it keeps white people powerful and comfortable.

woodwoad.bsky.social•6 days ago

Honestly overall it doesnt! It keeps the majority scared of fictional bogeymen, placid to overlords that exploit them too and sheltered in ways that keep them from truly living and having real communities.

Oh my God yes I cannot stand it!!
Everybody in my family is sick from it

White supremacy needs to go

renellgates.bsky.social•5 days ago

We are all human.
Human protections and rights are not different.

Yes! Progressive policies, including those that ensure all citizens can maximize their own potential, make society stronger & the economy healthier, which is better for my retirement fund. I think the 1619 project estimate was $1.5 trillion in GDP lost to bigotry.

woodwoad.bsky.social•6 days ago

As a white person.. It isnt that hard. It's like learning any other thing that takes personal growth to change about one's self. Many white ppl are just childish to the core unfortunately. I stand with you and everyone fighting for equality.

It’s far more uncomfortable for me to think of what will happen to us all if we DO NOT act! #resist

genuinerisk.bsky.social•6 days ago

No it's not, because not all white people are racist, be better, maybe you should send this message to truth social and twatter, where it's full of them,I stand against white supremists and all hateful groups,

woodwoad.bsky.social•6 days ago

Sounds like you got a bit of denial to work thru, but I agree with your stance on hate groups.

genuinerisk.bsky.social•5 days ago

What denial, you don't know me to even say that,nice try, I don't get baited,some people,like me don't follow what other people do or believe,we make our own path,we are strong in our beliefs and convictions,and I don't need acceptance

woodwoad.bsky.social•5 days ago

She didnt say all white people are racist, you baited yourself.

genuinerisk.bsky.social•5 days ago

Does this make you feel comfortable,,she is discussing people's comfort zones of conversation,,

woodwoad.bsky.social•5 days ago

You read the first sentence of her post and got upset... Idk what you think you are standing for. If you really were unbothered by having your potential racism challenged, you wouldnt be offended at all because you would understand what she was saying. As I said, you got some denial to deal with.

genuinerisk.bsky.social•5 days ago

Lmao,,you keep falling all over your self,,you failed to comprehend what she wrote, and failed to understand what I said,,actually read and comprehend what it says,,some people in a hurry to have a moment and fail

woodwoad.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yeah... I'm falling all over myself 😆

roseeagle.bsky.social•6 days ago

Lizzo, your art has helped me move forward during many difficult times. Thank you for being real!

kenhes.bsky.social•6 days ago

I'm white and I approve of this message.

It's an emotional tool to keep us all fighting while they get away with their crimes.

So true

katelynmurray.bsky.social•5 days ago

Correct. All warfare is class warfare. Race hate has always been a distraction.

bleujeanie.bsky.social•6 days ago

It should be uncomfortable, and we should push through it anyway. There is no growth in remaining in a position of comfort and familiarity. As white people, it is our JOB.

Grateful for people like you showing us how to do it.

esoobee.bsky.social•6 days ago

It’s so nice to see you on a platform where you’re getting to express yourself in uncensored form. Welcome back Lizzo! We missed YOU so!

erihapo.bsky.social•4 days ago

If there's a silver lining in any of this, I think it's that after we've risen up against this regime and it comes toppling down, we can make this country into the ideal it never was but can be: peoples of all backgrounds, races, and ethnicities, living together as equals for mutual benefit.

It’s disappointing where we are in 2025

chaosbuni.bsky.social•6 days ago

I'm so tired of the white supremacy, the transphobia, the homophobia, the racism, the sexism, the ableism, the othering of HUMAN BEINGS... I'm just so tired of it

richaeldlt1120.bsky.social•6 days ago

That’s my girl!! Always the high road. @lizzobeeating.bsky.social You are SPECIAL!! I Love your soul!!! You remind me that there is so much good left out there. Working on trying to see the light through the darkness.

katiegonz.bsky.social•6 days ago

They’ve been fighting for supremacy since loss of civil war!

santafedem.bsky.social•6 days ago

Thank you Lizzo

imthegreat.bsky.social•6 days ago

Speak!

yayacatt.bsky.social•6 days ago

Absolutely!

katelynmurray.bsky.social•5 days ago

One of the big things that I, as a white person have realized in address racism head on in myself and others is that white people often correlate behaving under the influence of racism with being a bad person. Of course, you can be intentionally racist, but more often racism is unintentional.

katelynmurray.bsky.social•5 days ago

Because we live in a racist society, there’s a lot of unconscious or subconscious racism that influenced our behaviors every day. And unless folks intentionally do the work to recognize how their behaviors impact others and the root of their behaviors, beliefs, etc, they’ll continue being influenced

katelynmurray.bsky.social•5 days ago

But all too often, when someone points out “hey that behavior was racist and not ok,” white folks get SUPER uncomfortable and defensive. And instead of investigating where that behavior came from, they put all their energy into defending themselves with “IM NOT RACIST”.

katelynmurray.bsky.social•5 days ago

But the truth of the matter is: we all are, to a degree. All of us came up in this racist society, and you can’t grow up in a society without being influenced by it. Unknowingly doing a racist behavior doesn’t make you a bad person, but refusing to learn and confront yourself does.

peartree97.bsky.social•6 days ago

Love this, Lizzo. One small correction: "can be uncomfortable for *some* white people. As a white woman there is nothing I loathe more than white male supremacy.

talibkweli.bsky.social•6 days ago

Keep going.
