ive seen a lot about this so i just want you to imagine something real quick

imagine you’re at a gas station filling up gas. someone runs over to you and says “i just ran into that bike over there and broke it!! im so sorry!!” you’re confused, because it’s not your bike. +

but you feel bad for them, so you say “its okay! mistakes happen!” the person who hit the bike feels reassured! they’re forgiven! they go on with their day, likely forgetting it happened.
what about the person who owned the bike? the one who was actually harmed by this? +

sounds silly, right?
that’s what happens when white people accept anyone for being racist. we aren’t harmed by it. we can’t speak over the ones affected- it doesn’t make sense.
end of thread.
