Black people will literally bring receipts and screenshots of #racism on this app and people will reply like “wait, what’s soo bad about that? I have the same predisposition to comments or questions like these, does it make me racist?”
YES. If you reply to a concern about racism by centering yourself instead of listening to the person affected, and trying to learn, yes.
@intentionaut The Bridge Poem by Donna Rushin: “…Sick of being your insurance against
The isolation of your self-imposed limitations
…
Sick of being the sole Black friend to 34 individual white people
Find another connection to the rest of the world
Find something else to make you legitimate
Find some other way to be political and hip
I'm sick of mediating with your worst self
On behalf you your better selves…”
