WHITE FRIENDS you know how when little kids want to "help" you have to weigh helping them learn a skill vs. the stress of cleaning up after them? That's us in racial activism. We're the little kids. Read this and take some of the burden off already-embattled activists of color.
As another wave of white folks decide *now* things have gone too far, *now* I need to get involved, I thought I'd share what @4noura and I learned when we studied how attitudes & behaviors of white activists can cause burnout in antiracist activists of color. (1/thread)
@PropheticDr34ms Honestly if you want to be a bigot it's sooooo easy to just swipe left on anyone who doesn't visually fit your gross ideal. Not just a bigot, a PROUD bigot. Disgusting.
@djblakdude @PropheticDr34ms You'd think, but I have poly in my profiles and get guys liking me who are like "I'm looking for The One!"
Bruh, it's in the first two sentences. Read, I beg of you.

@jessconsider I'm sorry their communication with you was so bad. It's probably the kind of thing they've had to repeat over and over to the point where they've cut it to bare bones and forgotten that new patients still need ALL the context and info.
