Let's workshop one paragraph from a novella-length lyric essay I am working on--a paragraph shining a light on the extent to which whites go to atone for "the (multiracial) disease of whiteness"
Safe spaces are created to provide a space where individuals who share similar experiences and backgrounds can come together and feel comfortable expressing themselves without fear of being marginalized or discriminated against. "White Supremacy on its Deathbed" can be seen as a direct challenge to the idea of a safe space because it focuses on a subject matter that may be triggering or traumatizing for many individuals who have been directly or indirectly impacted by white supremacy. The artwork's content can be seen as insensitive and inappropriate, as it may cause unnecessary harm and discomfort to people who have experienced oppression and marginalization. Here are the biggest problems with the snippet at hand.
Use of inflammatory language: The title itself, "White Supremacy on its Deathbed," could be seen as using language that is intentionally provocative and inflammatory. This type of language can be triggering for individuals who have experienced racism or other forms of oppression, and could create an unsafe environment for them.
Perpetuation of power dynamics: The text centers white experiences and perspectives. This perpetuates power dynamics that can be harmful to individuals from marginalized communities who may already feel excluded or silenced in certain spaces. By centering whiteness and using language that is potentially harmful to marginalized communities, the text could be seen as violating safe space norms that aim to create inclusive and equitable environments for all individuals.
People would be mistaken to think this is mere hyperbole. These guilt performances have crept into every sector--yes, every sector of the world even beyond both Universities and Twitter.

Looking forward to reading the rest of this piece.
Solid expression of the puzzling ideology of white guilt. I refuse to feel guilt by association of birth.
