Notice that the author didn’t even waste the time responding to you because you are centering your uncomfortable feelings and the feelings of young white people over the actual lives of blacks and people of color. THE LIVES. Black men and women, gunned down in the streets and in their homes by white police officers and white civilians who take it upon themselves to threaten, intimidate and kill in the name of white supremacy. Locking Hispanic children and their families in cages, as if they are no more than animals. Mass shooting of Asian women, at their workplace in broad daylight. This is not about you, that’s Marley’s entire point, whites needing to be the center of attention, getting their egos stroked while others are literally in danger of dying. WAKE UP. White people as a whole are dangerous and deadly to non-white people. We are most dangerous when we just sit back and watch it happen, because it doesn’t impact us personally. It’s our responsibility to not only call it out, but put our ass on the line for our brothers and sisters.
