Gentrification, U.S. imperialism, what else are yall gonna excuse as a “fault of the system, not people” so you don’t have to think too hard about the role you play in it?
i had to scroll back up cause i thought about it. before, white people would be like “I’M not racist, so does it really exist?” then there was like decades worth of explaining systematic oppression. and now it’s “It’s systematic, so it’s not MY fault.” it’s all about feeling defensive and dodging accountability
