There's a difference between standing for something that's
right, and kissing people's asses. A lot of white guys nowadays think they owe somebody with darker
skin or hair an apology for something some other white guy (or girl) did to someone with darker
skin than them, and that being an ally to people you
don't even know is wise. Is every black guy an ally of another black guy because they both have darker
skin? Is every black female an ally of every black male? Before a white guy gives in to the demands of a group of people, it would be good if he thought about shit like that, and whether any of the people in this group were ever really his allies.
Sometimes it's better to openly be enemies than to pretend to be friends with somebody else to avoid conflict. Not everyone who is
black is an ally of each other, so why wouldn't a white guy determine on an individual basis which black people were friends and which
black peole were foes, even if he ended up looking
racist because of it? Wouldn't that make more sense than blindly putting trust in a group of people you never met to support an agenda you have no good information about?
