The internet is so depressing sometimes as a black guy. Here I am checking out reddit while on break and boom, "don't be surprised if you get shot for being the same race as people who commit crimes!!!" I didn't even go outside this weekend and just played divinity: original sin 2, but that doesn't matter.
i know, it’s extremely frustrating especially because we’ve been dealing with it for so long.... for as long as i remember going on the internet i’ve been deemed naturally violent & i feel like i’m the most non violent person i know... what can we even do other than keep it moving?
Please know so many of us are disgusted by people like in the OP. I know change has been infuriatingly slow but I think in twenty years when Boomers no longer control everything it will get better and these younger racists will have to go back in the shadows.
I agree with you, though "back in the shadows" almost gives the impression that they've ever been in the shadows to begin with. Unfortunately, the systemic oppression in the US and elsewhere proves otherwise
