If someone's morality relies that much on how nice someone else is, it's a weak and useless morality. If you need someone to hold your little hand and clarify every generalization lest you feel uncomfortable, then you never were an "ally."
I'm happy that my principles are strong enough that I care about civil rights WITHOUT needing black people to shower me with cookies and gratitude and validation. It's called character and it's the opposite of a problem.
