we, as white people, are in no way shape or form supposed to speak on behalf of poc. we are not eligible to tell them when to feel offended or not. yes you might have your own ideology or sumn, but keep it to yourself and try to educate yourself. kneeling should be happening bc

im probably gonna be writing this again later bc i feel like this a mess im sorry i just woke up and im trying
