@AngryBlackLady Imani Gandy, law and policy senior editor for Rewire News Group (“Own your relationship to sex, abortion, parenthood, and power”) recently suggested a solution to the scourge of toxic cis white male masculinity:
Petition to put cis white dudes on a barge and float them out to sea.

Oddly enough, some people aren’t feeling the love for Gandy:
Some pretty sweet racism in this thread. https://t.co/w6aJlgRIJX

Just put the folks who sign it on the barge.
If you're so hateful that you can't accept men as valuable members of our society, you need professional help. pic.twitter.com/3aeFUJGKXR— Ge??♀️rge Wept (@GeorgeWept) February 3, 2021
At least Imani’s enjoying herself:

the number of men upset about my white men on a barge tweet leads me to believe i should tweet it every day. lol
— ⚖️Imani Gandy ⚖️ (@AngryBlackLady) February 3, 2021
wait until i share my thoughts about putting white people in well-apportioned wells ?
— ⚖️Imani Gandy ⚖️ (@AngryBlackLady) February 3, 2021
the wells will be dope. there will be wifi. i'll send down bottles of whiskey.
it's just… you have to live in a well now.

the white fragility in the replies is HILARIOUS.
truly. it's *chef's kiss*
— ⚖️Imani Gandy ⚖️ (@AngryBlackLady) February 3, 2021
Is it “white fragility” to take offense at someone talking about getting rid of you? If someone tweeted about putting trans black men on a barge and floating them out to see, would Imani’s outrage be out of “black fragility”? Would her anger be *chef’s kiss*?
clearly this tweet ended up on a subreddit somewhere.
hi fellas!
get on the barge. ?
— ⚖️Imani Gandy ⚖️ (@AngryBlackLady) February 3, 2021
Get on the barge.
Why doesn't @TwitterSupport and @jack consider this a violation of their hate speech rules?
This person is targeting hatred towards others based on race and gender identity and promoting harm based on those categories. pic.twitter.com/cdhw25mowy

Imani Gandy is reveling in racist, sexist comments with impunity. What’s the word for that? Oh, right: privilege.
Check your privilege, Imani.
And when you’re done checking your privilege, maybe rethink your initial idea. If you’re not a complete moron, it shouldn’t take you more than a few minutes to find some pretty glaring flaws.
We did this, this is how we got sea shanties https://t.co/NFl9ldA03a

The last time the white cis men did that, we dominated 3/4 of the world pic.twitter.com/bfFjg7yF8m

Okay, THIS is a valid point, and a possible flaw in @AngryBlackLady 's plan.

Snort.
Almost every instance of any sizable population of cis-white dudes on boats ends poorly for everyone else.

Ngl the idea of being kicked onto a massive barge with the bros sounds incredibly epic https://t.co/WJ3xLTbnJW

Still like this idea, Imani?
So you're in support of colonialism? https://t.co/lKeNm4rZsa
