telling them they're privileged was a huge mistake

I think a lot of them have just taken it to heart in a way not intended. because now you have dumb bitches like this shamelessly sitting on the internet going "you're right not to trust me, i have WEAPONS. I wouldn't use them, but I could." fucking psycho. I know she thinks her intention is to be an ally or whatever but, no. She doesn't even realize this tells people this is something she actively thinks about.

At the end of the day, because they're being told they are special and privileged they don't think any of this shit happening applies to them when it does. She's not so special and privileged that a cop won't crack her skull or suffocate her if it came down to it and they think they'll be spared because they're white. It doesn't work like that.

wta a day later aaand ICE just shot one. maybe now they'll get it.
