2.I’m not being sensitive when I tell you I’m no longer going to accept how you talk to me and things you assume about me. I’m just pointing out to you that you are being rude and often racist.
3.I’m not being lazy, when I tell you I will no longer work 3 jobs and still be unable to make the rent. I’m just pointing out the fact that corporations are greedy and selfish.
4.I’m not being silly, when I ask for free education because I want my children to be able to succeed in life, I’m just pointing out the fact that your school districts are overfunded and ours underfunded.
5.I’m not being a snowflake when I call you out on your discriminatory systems, I’m just bringing to the front what you would prefer stays hidden.

7.That’s all. If that offends you, if that scares you, I’m not sorry because you’ve enjoyed the fruits of my labor for ages, and it’s time for me to partake in them.
