As a Black woman I am not allowed the luxury of giving any white people I meet the benefit of the doubt. Until they can prove they’re of no detriment or harm to me, or people who look like me,(they have to at least prove the first), they’re gonna continue to receive the long side-eye I’ve been giving them, and that’s not gonna stop any time soon.
I don’t have the luxury of making excuses for white people, or giving them the benefit of the doubt that they’re smart, or nice, or anything positive. I’m gonna be blunt. Some of them are ass-stupid! Some of them are actively malicious towards other human beings! Quite a few of them are utter psychopaths! (Are there poc like that? Sure! But they’re not running around claiming they are not, insisting I’m wrong for not trusting them, and that they are good patriots, whenever they behave badly.)
One of thebiggest problems I have with white liberals, is their complete inability to acknowledge that some of the other white people they’re talking about, just don’t have any excuses for their behavior. Sometimes people are just mean, and stupid!
