For you white people all in on BLM and suffering white guilt, here is your chance to step it your game and give your money to absolve yourself and become an ally or white comrade.

Remember the two, less than elegant, women who took over spinless Bernie's microphone in Seattle? They're back...


Black Activists Launch Monthly Fee System For Whites To Pay Blacks

Liberal black activists have launched a monthly “subscription box” designed for white people “to not only financially support Black femme freedom fighters, but also complete measurable tasks in the fight against white supremacy.”

The subscription service is called Safety Pin Box and was launched last week. Wearing a safety pin has recently become a symbol within the liberal community for one to show solidarity with minorities.

The group is headed by Leslie Mac and Marissa Jenae Johnson. Johnson is one of the Black Lives Matter protesters who interrupted Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders during a speech in Seattle last year.

There are four different types of subscriptions offered by the group. The “e-ally box” is $25 a month and is “an electronic form of solidarity.” It comes with “exclusive ‘calls to action’ when urgent ally services are needed in times of crisis.” Ally is a term used by Black Lives Matter activists to describe white comrades.

There is then the “pin pals box” which is a box shared by two white people for $100 total. Lucky subscribers get a “physical ‘safety pin’ box shipped to one address with guided two-person tasks for the month.”

There is then the “premiere” box subscription which costs $100 a month. This includes a “physical ‘safety pin’ box shipped to you with guided ally tasks for the month. Tasks will vary in scope from individual to group assignments, and task categories include data collection, personal development, influencing your networks, and showing radical compassion.”

Safety Pin Box did not respond immediately to an inquiry about the amount of subscribers they have. Another option they offer besides subscription is the one time “Revenge Box” which costs $50. The description says: “Send this box to a Trump supporter, bigot, or white supremacist of our choice.”

The recipient of one of these boxes gets “a link to a website that features highlights of the current movement for Black lives and stories of Black excellence.”

Be sure and post a picture of your safety pin.

That was my first thought, too.
In fact, I got halfway through, and skipped to the link- just to see if it was.

Unbelievable.

However there really is a site that was started by a lady who is trying this social experiment.

http://www.reparations.me/

Meet Natasha Marin: The woman behind REPARATIONS

Natasha Marin is a conceptual artist working across disciplines and media to collaborate with People to create opportunities for meaningful IRL and digital engagement.

Reparations began as a social media experiment on Facebook on July 15, 2016.
​
What if you actually did something meaningful for someone before the end of the year?

What if a stranger restored your belief in humanity, if only for a moment, by supporting you and allowing you to claim something you need in a material way?

I invite People of Color to ask for what we need to feel better, be happier, be more productive by posting in this space. These may be both material and immaterial requests.

I invite people who identify as White to offer services or contributions to People of Color in need of time, energy, substantive care, and support.

I hope it's not a joke.

My donor level puts me at Ally (or simply "White Comrade").

This is in addition to my efforts to enlist Eku Mumbinani (A Nigerian Prince) to help me collect my share of the Nigerian Lottery which I had the good fortune of winning this week.

I feel so lucky today. Thanks Tulsa.

Say, you aren't an Oklahoman Prince are you? Does Oklahome have a lottery?

Let me know so I can wire funds.

Oklahoma does have a lottery. So if you'll just send me your credit card number in a PM I think we can satisfy your needs. Oh, don't forget the security code!

Thanks Tulsa.

My social security number and mother's maiden name are included.

Also, my first pet's name, my 4th grade teacher and the PIN for my bank account so you can access it whenever you see a good opportunity for me.

I think my luck is really starting to turn around.

Think I'll quite my job and buy a new Smart TV.

As I have stated before, my family came to this country in 1848 and moved to Dayton. They had nothing to do with the slavery of those people. I feel no obligation to give away my hard earned money to them for that purpose.

Does paying for a physical marker of payment count as a protection racket? This reminds me of a street gang extorting money for protection. Buy a safety pin and we won't attack you in the street.

Thanks Martin, I'll get on this right away.

Props to these two women... if they can get white people to sign up and send them money and get a little social activism out of them at the same time... I love that entrepreneurial spirit. There is a sucker born every minute and as long as I'm not one of them, I have no problem laughing at those who are. thumbsup

Not much different than political emails and petitions asking for donations. I get multiple per week. Groups like moveon.org do it all the time.

These people are targeting whites who want to support them though in their text, that is laying some serious white guilt on thick and should backfire on them.
