today someone said “well all lives DO matter” while I was critiquing it and was super patient with me explaining when i got flustered.
-
so thanks for hearing me out on why “All Lives Matter” is hurtful, loved one.
-
i need to get better at talking about #BlackLivesMatter and race in general with other white folks. literally my job as an “ally”.
-
(I know some of y’all don’t use that word, but, “literally my job as a […line?]” didn’t really work.)
-
It’s fucking hard though. Hearing people repeat words that oppress throws me off my game. idk how it wouldn’t, since this matters to me.
-
So anyway this isn’t just to whine about words-are-hard, but fellow white people, how to do stay calm when talking about racial justice?
-
That time I didn’t just yell “READ A BOOK” at someone. I’m very proud of myself.
