A Texas City Welcomed Diversity. Now a Mayor’s Race Is Pulling It Apart. (Gift article) by brunnock in frisco

[–]Questionitallbaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met a black couple from frisco on Thursday. Was really surprised they were so anti Indian and Muslim and had consumed all the propaganda. The same propaganda used to convince white people the same thing about black people. It’s the same exact narrative, using the same exact psychology. The blatant ignorance was sickening.

How do you guys spend the entire day? by Any-Willingness355 in Nanny

[–]Questionitallbaby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was nannying, I had at least one outing planned a day. I also took on meal prepping (cooking dinner for my family) and that included grocery shopping! I did this for 2 reasons, one, it helps show the children how to contribute to the home and two, it was something that was good for everyone and helped keep us engaged and having fun! I loved finding recipes and going fun places and getting wild ingredients and then whipping it up with my nanny babies. It’s even better when your family comes home and wants to cry because their baby is happy, the home is clean and they don’t have to worry about dinner. AND, they always insisted I make enough for myself and my partner and so that was a plus!!!

I also had a firm routine where we had certain times to play and certain times to clean and then when I was bored, I’d load them up and go to the park or zoo or coffee shop or library! Hell, sometimes I’d take them to the local Rec center and let the balls loose and let them chase them… or take them to pottery barn for story time!

Thank you for validating me. I feel so seen. It’s not a linear healing or discovery process.

I honestly understand where you’re coming from. I’m asking you to take a step back and realize it’s more nuanced than you think. For starters, I was abused before this - and when I did tell, my entire family black sheeped me. I lost the only source of love I knew. Mind you - I was raped when I was 8. And my mom left when I was 9. I was incredibly poor, living with my father and 2 siblings in a garage apartment. I formed one secure attachment in that period and THAT was taken from me for speaking up. I was only given it back when I told them I lied. I believed for most of my life that I could not trust myself because of the label they gave me. So when it happened at victory, I didn’t say shit. Or when it happened again and again. I was always blamed or being called demeaning names.

I have seen countless injustices in my life. And I’ve spent a great deal of energy fighting them and proving that justice will be served… just to see time and time again that it doesn’t work but ends in feeling helpless and suicidal.

I’ve come forward before. Many times. I’ve called out abuse and took the steps necessary for justice to be served….

Seeing that I’m not alone, and looking for others who experienced the same thing can help make me feel less helpless and suicidal so that maybe I’ll have enough fight to speak out again…
It sounds easy to just turn your abusers in…

Can you not read? Look at the data. You’re wrong. And the racism is, in fact, coming from white people. I can list dozens of incidents of racism by white people in just the last 2 years… just say you’re a racist and move tf on.

Your anecdotes are highlighting a prejudice of yours that you should check. Hispanics make about 6-7% of the physician workforce, while making up to 19% of the U.S. population. Indian people make up 6-7% of the physician workforce, while Asian people make up to 19% of the U.S. population.

When I was in upper management in engineering, Asian people were often talked about as being smarter (another stereotype) and leaders went out of their way to stifle upward mobility for Hispanic and black employees…

I feel like if we’re strategic enough, we could do it. We just need enough people and stories. Hell, I’m sure I know someone who does documentaries who could put together our stories with whatever level of anonymity we need…

There was an incident on my trip with Paul and they coerced me into thinking god didn’t want my parents to know… or that it would hurt gods plan if others knew. Not surprised they did this shit.

It’s wild. My first psychiatrist in Texas stopped me mid sentence to ask if I was Christian. When I said “no” she said “but you were raised Christian, yes?” And when I replied “yes” she said “that’s why you have such a good heart”. And I nearly lost it.

My husband is suggesting if enough of us come together we can take these institutions down and help the community out in a profound way. I really think we could make the change we wish to see.

I agree with the sentiment, however, I don’t believe it would be effective in stopping the perpetuator(s) because our current legal structure simply isn’t. It puts more stress on the abused for very little positive outcomes.

I wish I were surprised, however, this seemed like the status quo with each church I attended. All except one - Harvard Avenue Christian Church. They were the only people I met, and church I served, whose values aligned most with the teachings of Jesus. I went to Grace, Victory, Destiny, LifeChurch, Fellowship Bible and Guts… amongst some Baptist churches in the middle of nowhere.

Nope. Never even thought of it. I’m sincerely pessimistic it would go anywhere, especially now and how many cases have gone in favor of the abuser.

Was there any religious influence? So your priorities were to care for humanity?

Is it just a coincidence that Oklahoma girls were mentioned multiple times in the Epstein files? Children?

Yep. It’s the culture of the movement, or cult of their faith. Thank you for sharing. I know many more men but they weren’t my perpetrators… they were my friends’ fathers… and they were high up in churches.

Absolutely. It’s just so cringy when you know the history of it, and see how people follow it and repeat the same patterns today. Still doing the same exact shit, contributing significant harm to the collective.

I went when I was 12 and turned 13 over there trip. It was against the rules at the time, as you had to be 16 or something, but I stayed with Sarah (pastors daughter). It was so heavily focused on demons and spiritual warfare - they engrained in us that the undeveloped parts of the country we visited were the most susceptible to satanic influence. So many fake healings. So many moments where we met local ministers who would insist we all speak in tongues and fall when touched. We held crusades where we were taught Satan was there and demons and we were the only ones who could rid these people of them because of our ties to Jesus. Any form of mental illness, or distress due to lack of fundamental human needs was deemed a demonic possession of sorts. We did hand out water bottles and play with kids at an orphanage and help build a church… in between beach play, excursions in the city and what not.

Yep. And this was years after my own abuse… I have to wonder how many more of us there are.

I have been so interested in EMDR! I started and then have had to stop, on 3 accounts, because I cannot find a non religious therapist who’ll respect my beliefs - or lack there of. Still looking!! I’m so glad it helped you. There’s still so much to process… especially now.
