To all the White men out there who somehow think theyโre oppressed: take a seat and listen to Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), because this victim complex is getting exhausting.
And yes, I fully expect a swarm of Russian bots and delusional Americans to crawl out of the woodwork to tell me to โstop bringing up race.โ Spoiler alert: thatโs exactly what racists say to avoid accountability for their racism. Itโs the same mentality slaveowners used to justify their atrocitiesโdeny, deflect, and dodge any semblance of responsibility.
And let me guess, youโre going to clutch your pearls and cry about how this post is โdivisiveโ? Hereโs the truth: calling out racism doesnโt create divisionโit exposes it. If acknowledging systemic racism makes you uncomfortable, maybe itโs because youโre part of the system that benefits from it. So no, Iโm not going to tiptoe around your fragile feelings. Grow up.
