I DONT CARE IF ITS A JOKE. JOKES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY. CANCER RUINED MY FUCKING LIFE. MY MOM LOST HER JOB AND EVERYTHING SHE HAD. SHE CANT GO BACK TO WORK BECAUSE OF LASTING EFFECTS. SHE CANT AFFORD TO+
yeah uh friendly reminder that you cannot ignore racism happening just because โyou donโt see it.โ thereโs always racism happening in communities, including ours. and if youโre white saying โwell i havenโt seen any racismโ that just shows how privileged you are.
That being said. I hope everyone not just in bootwt but in all communities start to understand that you cannot ignore racism, it is an issue everywhere and the only way to combat it is by calling it out and by making sure that bigots are unwelcome no matter what.
