I’m really fucking tired of white people talking over BIPOC and accepting other white peoples apologies over the hurt and anguish of people who have been victims of racism for centuries. IF YOU ARE WHITE YOUR OPINION IS IRRELEVANT.
Do not accept apologies on behalf of those who’ve been affected by racism. Do not say things like “they apologized isn’t that good enough”? Do not say things like “they obviously know better now” or “they don’t owe you anything”. Learn to accept that your fave is flawed. We all
are. They have to be held accountable for their fuck-ups just like everyone else. They chose to be in the public eye. They knew their actions would be held to more scrutiny. It’s not a pile-on. It’s the result of their actions. Stop trying to protect grown ass adults. They make
their decisions and it’s up to them to deal with the consequences. RACISM HAS CONSEQUENCES the least of which is a shitty night on Twitter dot com or a deluge of texts from upset, hurt, angry fans.
You know what consequences of racism aren’t so easy to deal with? Getting killed because you look different. Because you talk different. Because you practice religion differently. Getting killed and not having your murderers held accountable because they were policemen.
Stop thinking about your fucking selves and your desire to bend over backwards for your fave that doesn’t give a single shit about you for five fucking minutes and realize that RACISM. HAS. CONSEQUENCES.
Go back to those books you bought and REALLY pay attention. Bc right now you ain’t getting it. And it shows.
