A white
person who appears to be liberal in theory but is secretly racist,
homophobic, ableist,classist, etc in practice.
Someone who can quote Audre Lorde and has a “Believe
Women”, “BLM” and “Abolish ICE” sticker on their laptops but will refuse to actually believe
women of color when being told that they are using their white privilege to harm rather than to heal.
People who pretend to be
woke by putting virtue signaling stickers on their laptops but do not actually stand for those values when it comes down to it.
Example:
White Person: *does something racist*
Person of Color: Do you have capacity to talk about why that felt racist to me?
White Person: No, also I’m not a racist.
Person of Color: Okay, when will you?
White Person: It’s my “boundary” that you stop talking.

If you believe in systemic racism why do y’all act so furious and defensive when people of color express to you personally that something you did was racist?
Like how do y’all
Laptop-Sticker-
White-Liberals believe all the science and numbers and history of systemic racism but the
buck stops when someone expresses you’ve personally been racist it’s just suddenly unfathomable?
Racist actions can happen whether you intend for them to or not. You can’t just deny something is racist to a person of color and shut them out just because it’s too uncomfortable for your fragile
white ears to hold onto. And it sure as
hell isn’t a boundary to silence queer brown voices post you hurting them.
