We are not free from our afflictions
We are not free from our afflictions
We being white people
They do not expect us to be free from our afflictions
They being black, brown and indigenous people
They however do expect us to not use white privilege as an excuse to not engage with the revolution
White folks
I am scared
I am afraid
Its too upsetting
Its not my fight
Black, brown and indigenous folks
I have been afraid my whole life
Yes its upsetting
We need allies
I would rather just sit back and let others fight the fight.
There are enough people fighting, i dont need too.
How can someone be part of a revolution sitting inside and doing nothing towards the cause
Step up for our black,brown and indigenous brothers and sisters. No excuses. Act up fight racism or be the cause of being complacent.
