when are we gonna talk ab how Black ppl in America, traveling to poorer countries during a pandemic is them behaving just like colonizers? & an example of American exceptionalism?

especially the justification that they “deserve” to live their lives, even when it spreads disease
okay b/c the selfishness/cognitive dissonance is RIDICULOUS & we need to have that conversation https://twitter.com/noswaggt/status/1317972880945274880">https://twitter.com/noswaggt/...
how much of a difference is there between A) intentionally spreading disease b/c you have a personal objective...

versus B) not caring that you’re contributing to the spread of disease b/c you have a personal objective?

where is the personal accountability? https://twitter.com/hotcocoating/status/1318000570570035202">https://twitter.com/hotcocoat...
nobody said Black people in America are doing it more often than white folks...

the point is that they are knowingly contributing to an existing problem... & the choice to travel during a pandemic shows a level of selfishness usually associated with white folks https://twitter.com/taylorjames04/status/1318025548086599680">https://twitter.com/taylorjam...
so b/c white folks are spreading diseases to the global south, (something they’ve done for centuries) that makes it ok for Black people who are now established in the US to contribute to that pattern, simply b/c of our American privilege?

since you talkin bout putting words in mouths... go back to the original tweet & show me where i said “Black people were the only ones responsible” ...i said they’re acting like colonizers & you ignored the point to say “well actually the colonizers are acting like colonizers”https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙃" title="Auf den Kopf gestelltes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Auf den Kopf gestelltes Gesicht"> https://twitter.com/taylorjames04/status/1318032666088902657">https://twitter.com/taylorjam...
girl yes! because between rates going up abroad due to travel... (plus this “club shaming” commentary) ... at what point do we as young Black folks look at ourselves & STOP ADDING TO THE PROBLEM? https://twitter.com/mahottie/status/1318052044268253184">https://twitter.com/mahottie/...
