If you hear black people and other people of color voicing their pain about racism, racists, systemic racism, racist protests and other injustices and interpret that as “But, but, but what about me? I’m good!” Are you really good?
You just made a person’s murder by terrorism about you. You just made a man getting beaten by actual racists about you. You just made Trump’s refusal to say “White supremacists” about you. You hear someone shouting “OMG, these white racists and the assholes who voted them into power are terrible” and you wonder if they meant you. You think we should prioritize your delicate feelings over our loss, our pain and the actual death of a person.
You are so vain you think this movement is about you. Seriously. What is wrong with you right now?
