bookmark_borderLydia O’Connor, a despicable bully and bigot
There are no words that can adequately express the cruelty, nastiness, and immorality demonstrated by the despicable lump of flesh and bone that calls itself Lydia O’Connor:
“Trump Signs Order To Restore Inclusive and Diverse Monuments, Remove ‘Anti-America’ Ideology.”
Or perhaps:
“Trump Signs Order To Restore Monuments Signifying That People Who Are Different Actually Have a Right To Exist, Remove ‘Anti-America’ Ideology.”
There, Lydia. I fixed it for you.
Needless to say, I did not read the entire article, because my mind and nervous system don’t have the resilience needed to handle such a traumatizing experience. Thanks to merely glimpsing the headline, my body is shaking with rage, my stomach is sick, and my chest feels like it’s being crushed in a vice.
This headline, and the accompanying article, are enormously harmful to me as an autistic person who has grown up being excluded, bullied, and different from the norm. The monuments that O’Connor sickeningly characterizes as “racist” are the monuments to people like me. They are monuments to people who are different. They are monuments to the entire concept of being different from the majority, resisting authority, rebelling against social norms, not fitting in, thinking for oneself. They are the monuments that enable a person like me to actually be accepted and included in society. They are the monuments that signify that I have a right to exist.
But yeah, this is clearly racist.
Obviously, allowing people who are different from the norm to exist, is racist.
It’s racist to honor a diverse range of viewpoints, stories, and perspectives, rather than only honoring those that conform to the dominant ideology.
It’s racist to accept and include people who are different.
Not.
This headline and article are completely unacceptable. And this is an understatement. In fact, anything negative that could possibly be said about this headline, article, and author would be an understatement, because no language has words adequate for the task of accurately describing such complete moral bankruptcy.
Racist monuments.
Yup. Because for me to actually have a life worth living is “racist.”
Because allowing me to exist as an autistic person is “racist.”
No.
Wrong, Lydia.
Allowing people who are different form the norm to exist, is not racist.
This is obvious. It should not even need to be stated. It is, in fact, bizarre that it needs to be stated. It is bizarre that over the past five years, I have had to state this again and again, because despite how obvious it objectively is, it is clearly not obvious to a large percentage of the population. Even after five years of living through this hell, it is still both shocking and sickening beyond belief that an ideology has taken over this country which believes that allowing a person like me to exist, allowing a person like me to be accepted and included in society, is racist.
I have a right to exist. My existing is not racist. Period. Full stop. End of story.
Thanks, Lydia, for completely destroying my morning. Just another attack on my very existence, one of hundreds, if not thousands, of such attacks that I’ve been subjected to for nearly five years now. I am so incredibly sick and tired of people thinking this way, speaking this way, writing this way. I am sick and tired of having to justify my existence again and again, of having to defend my very existence against claims that it is “racist.”
Lydia O’Connor is the epitome of a bigot and a bully with no mind, no soul, no capacity for independent thought, no empathy, and no tolerance for any perspectives other than her own. She and the Huffington Post have inflicted severe harm on me by writing and publishing this article and should be sued for the harm that they have caused.
I have a right to exist. Statues like these have a right to exist. We are not racist. Period. Full stop. End of story.
bookmark_borderMatt Walsh’s excellent response to a blatantly racist post
I can’t embed the post, but take a look here. As Matt Walsh points out, slavery is not “white history,” and it is racist to claim that it is.
bookmark_border“If you plan to make content that isn’t the exact same content that I would make…. just don’t”
I recently came across a social media post that said the following:
“If you plan to make content on the distinctions between ODD and PDA* but gloss over the racial disparities and intersectional factors, just don’t.”
My response: Excuse me? Who the heck are you to tell me what type of content I can and cannot make?
The author of the post describes themselves as black, “moderate support needs,” and “agender and queer.” Perhaps belonging to demographic categories that qualify them as more “oppressed” than others gives this person a sense of moral superiority. Perhaps their membership in these socially favored demographic categories makes this person feel that they are in a position to determine what others are and are not allowed to do.
Guess what? If someone wishes to make content about the distinctions between ODD and PDA without going into the alleged racial disparities and intersectional factors, they have every right to do so. As a white, high-functioning, asexual autistic person, I have the right to voice my opinion just as much as you do. You have no right to tell other people what type of content they can and cannot make.
* ODD is the abbreviation for “oppositional defiant disorder,” and PDA is the abbreviation for “pathological demand avoidance,” two mental health conditions that share some similarities.

bookmark_border“F*** your dead” – the atrocity done to the Lion of Atlanta
It’s been several years since the atrocity that was done to the Lion of Atlanta, but I saw this Instagram post about it recently, and I felt the need to share my thoughts.
“F*** your dead,” wrote the excuses for human beings who committed this atrocity. And of course, “BLM.”
The excuses for human beings also crossed out the word “Confederate” from the phrase “unknown Confederate dead” on the monument.
Translation:
F*** anyone who differs from us in any way. F*** anyone who differs from the norm, from the majority.
Only our lives matter. No one else’s. No one’s feelings, perspective, or viewpoint matters, other than ours.
Anyone who differs from us in any way needs to be erased from existence, as if they never lived at all.
Only bland, mundane people who conform to social norms and mindlessly comply with authority should be allowed to exist.
The only people who deserve to be honored, memorialized, or respected are those who look and think like us.
Those are the attitudes of the excuses for human beings who committed the atrocity towards the Lion of Atlanta.
And those attitudes are the antithesis of diversity, the antithesis of inclusion, the antithesis of tolerance.
I say:
F*** you, excuses for human beings who wrote these things.
F*** your contempt, hatred, and intolerance for anyone who differs from you in any way.
F*** your bigotry.
F*** your authoritarianism.
You demonstrate that supporters of the BLM movement are the real bigots, the real racists.
Our society should have unanimously and unequivocally condemned this movement the instant its slogan was found graffitied, alongside profane insults, on the Lion of Atlanta.
Yet despicably, our society did the opposite.
Society’s embrace of the movement responsible for this and countless similar atrocities is an injustice worse than words are able to convey; it is the worst injustice imaginable.
bookmark_border“Hey white people”
I saw this post on Instagram the other day, and it really pisses me off.
This is an example of blatant racism.
What does a fondness for golden retrievers have to do with a person’s race? What does gluten free bread have to do with a person’s race?
Nothing.
Such blatantly racist statements about any other group would be immediately and universally condemned, but for some reason our society considers it acceptable to ridicule and insult white people with pejorative and nonsensical generalizations. In our society, anti-white racism is allowed to go completely unchallenged, unquestioned, and uncriticized.
And then people claim that anti-white racism isn’t a serious problem, or perhaps that it doesn’t exist at all. For some reason, anti-white racism such as that demonstrated in the above post is not recognized as real racism.
Well, it is. The person who made this post is a racist bigot, and the post’s existence is proof of the systemic, ubiquitous, and entrenched anti-white racism of our society.
PS: The person who made this post seems to have done so with the goal of encouraging white people to care about, and help with, the situation that is going on in Palestine. The person who made this post seems to have done so with the goal of encouraging white people to support his/her cause. Well, maybe if you want people to support your cause, you shouldn’t ridicule them or attack them with race-based insults. If you are trying to convince people to support your cause, ridiculing them and attacking them with race-based insults probably isn’t the best way to do so.
Just a thought.
bookmark_border“The USA is a white settler colonialist state”
“The USA is a white settler colonialist state…”
What the heck does that even mean? What is a “settler colonialist state”?
We need to eliminate the term “settler colonialism” from our lexicon. Phrases like this are meaningless mush, with no use or purpose other than to insult and shame people based on their skin color.
How exactly are immigration laws racist?
How exactly is your statement “truth,” Bree Newsome?
And how exactly are people wanting to outlaw it? Who exactly are the “they” of whom you speak, and what steps have they taken to outlaw statements like yours? More importantly, how can you claim that statements like this one are in danger of being outlawed when every major politician of the ruling party, every major corporation, and every member of the mainstream media, is parroting it?
Similarly to the question with which I began this blog post… what the hell is a “white colonial power structure?” This seems to be just more meaningless mush whose only goal and only effect is to paint an autistic person like me, who has been told that I have no choice other than to sacrifice my wishes, preferences, needs, and happiness for the expectations of others for my entire life, as somehow “privileged” and therefore bad and having no right to complain or be upset about anything. Thereby doubling down on the exact things I’ve been told ad nauseam by neurotypical society my entire life. Awesome.
Also, how can someone “maintain white rulership in the USA” when such a thing has never existed?
Also, what racist violence, exactly, is Newsome referring to?
And what anti-democratic violence, exactly, is Newsome referring to?
And why is it a bad thing for something to be anti-democratic, anyway? To speak of anti-democratic violence as if it is a bad thing presumes that to be pro-democratic is good, and I strenuously dispute this presumption. Democracy is a form of government in which the policies implemented are the ones that are favored by the largest number of people. Given that the goodness or badness of a policy has nothing to do with the number of people that favor it, democracy is not a good form of government. To be anti-democratic is not something bad, because a democracy is not something good.
In conclusion, this Instagram post and the account that posted it are just another example of our society’s practice of privileging and elevating the voices of those who have not experienced discrimination or significant hardship, while stomping on those who have. If the people who run this Instagram account actually wanted to feature the voices of the oppressed, they would feature tweets and blog posts by people like me, who have been shamed as sick and bad our entire lives… and for our entire lives had our feelings and perspectives dismissed as “privileged” because we were born with the wrong skin color.
bookmark_border“You are standing on Native land”
This picture, seen on social media, angers me.
It angers me that some organization or company or government entity (I’m not sure exactly who is responsible) made the decision to create a sign like this.
All my life, I’ve been told that I do everything wrong. That everything about me is wrong and bad. That I wear the wrong clothes, the wrong shoes, the wrong socks. That I read the wrong books, listen to the wrong music, watch the wrong shows. That I hold my pencil the wrong way, play with my toys the wrong way, wash my hair the wrong way, wash my face the wrong way, floss my teeth the wrong way. That I stand wrong, sit wrong, speak wrong, use words wrong.
And now I am being told that I have the wrong skin color and the wrong ancestry. After a lifetime of being told that everything about me is wrong and bad, I am now being told that I don’t deserve to exist in the city of Boston, due to the color of my skin and the fact that my ancestors came from Europe. Due to things about me that I have absolutely no control over.
All my life, I’ve suppressed my autistic self in order to fit in with neurotypical people. And now I am being told that because I happen to have European ancestry, I need to grovel at the feet of indigenous people in order to be allowed to exist. That because of where my ancestors came from, I don’t have a right to exist in the only city that I have ever called home.
All my life, I’ve been told that I need to apologize for everything about myself. And now I am being told that because of my skin color and my ancestry, I need to apologize for my very existence.
All my life, I’ve been made to feel wrong, worthless, bad, and messed-up. It is angering and demoralizing that someone would create a sign designed to make me feel even more this way.
I’m sick and tired of having to apologize for my existence. A native person is not superior to me. I have just as much of a right to exist in Boston as anyone else does.
