i hate getting political on the timeline, but this isn’t a political issue, it’s a moral issue:
if you go out of your way to excuse yourself from racial conflict, you’re not “indifferent to race”, you’re intentionally ignorant/apathetic of the f*cked up sh*t POC endure: a thread

‘all lives matter’ is a great statement! it really is! putting substantial value on every person’s life, no matter their background, physical or social environment, ethnicity, etc. is awesome!
‘All Lives Matter’ is a racist movement designed to belittle the struggles of POC

“i don’t see race” ARE YOU STUPID?? this is a cop-out. this makes you a bystander, not an ally; you WATCH and intentionally refuse to get involved when a cop unlawfully kills a black man or the COUNTLESS microaggressions and passive racist ideologies you witness or even commit
“not all cops are bad” of course not!! there are far more good cops than crooked ones, but police officers are the ones we trust to protect all of us, not just white folks. if they are failing their responsibly to us, the people, they can turn over their badge.
“why isn’t there a White Pride / why can’t i celebrate my (white) culture”
i’m an irish/german american and i’m proud of my roots and the flag i wave. i strongly encourage you to celebrate your culture, past or present
but what the fuck is “white culture”? that’s... not real

there is literally no excuse for racism. the only way we can actually say that “all lives matter” is with three simple steps:
1. don’t be fucking racist
2. correct racist behavior, whether it’s your own bystander bs or if it’s calling someone else out
3. treat people w respect

“liam you’ve never been this vocal about these issues”
i’m not innocent either. i’ve always been a bystander who avoids conflict. but the world will never change with most of us sitting on the sidelines. racism isn’t going away because we, the bystanders, allow it to live
