I want a fucking explanation.
I’m white.If I agree with white supremacists, I’m evil, because, well, obvious reasons, duh.
If I don’t speak up against racism, I’m evil, because I’m allowing the oppressors to continue their treatment of the oppressed.
If I speak out against racism, I’m fighting a fight that’s not mine and I need to shut up and let POC speak for themselves.
WTF
If you are going to do the right thing then you should not be concerned with how you feel when oppressed groups insult you/or call you out/exclude you. It’s not about you. It’s not about getting props, feeling accepted, or being complimented; if you believe in what you are doing is right then take the “bad” with the “good”.
