The swiftness in which y’all dismiss Black peoples pain is wild. The ableism is not ok but almost everything I’m seeing is people saying stop telling us not to be offended by a slur. Tf be wrong with y’all?
Black ppl are expected to have the utmost grace and tolerance when discussing this harmful slur and how those outside the community use it.
Remember that if this were any other racial slur with this much violence and history behind it, there would be no defenses or discussion.
Asking for more grace for the person who shouted a racist slur instead of for Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo, who had to push through being embarrassed in front of their peers.
But that’s often the expectation — that Black people are just supposed to be ok with being disrespected and dehumanized so that other people don’t feel bad.
This is one of the best, frame-by-frame breakdowns here by Brenna Perez of the Minnesota ICE shooting, proving without a doubt that ICE agent wasn't in danger, and he murdered Renee Good.
Make sure everyone sees it.
